Scent LED!

The first fragrance ever from the famous fashion house Moncler, known for its down jackets in the upper price segment. Honestly, I'm already surprised that it has taken so long until this branding has also released its own fragrance. But anyway...

Anheuert to the recipe were with Antoine Maisondieu (among other things Armani Code, Bottega Veneta-Pour Homme, Montblanc-Exlorer) and Christophe Raynaud (among other things Paco Rabanne-One Million, Azzaro-Chrome Legend, Jean Paul Gaultier-Scandal Pour Homme) 2 well-known perfumers who understand their craft (should).

This Eau De Parfum is available in 3 different sizes: 60 ml, 100 ml and 150 ml. Only the 150 ml version has a scrolling LED display in the middle of the silver bottle, which lights up with red lettering. In the "factory state" lights up there "MONCLER", but you can change the text with the help of an app, up to 80 characters, or letters are possible. A nice gimmick, in my opinion. Of course, there will be people who will hate this just as much and classify it as ridiculous, such as the robot bottle of Paco Rabanne-Phantom. Schmierwurst! (translated: I do not care!)

After studying the ingredients, this fragrance should fit my prey scheme, at least as far as pine, cedar, vetiver and amber are concerned. So I expected a strong spicy woody scent! What I got was something slightly different... woody yes, but a very green with a sort of snow accord light eau de parfum that is anything but a beast. Associations with a walk in the alpine regions in clear and fresh mountain air and snow are stirred up, although it is also a bit scratchier in the drydown. Probably attributable to the vetiver, which does not seem as round here as in other fragrances.

What is completely missing here is any kind of citrusy notes, neither in the top note, nor afterwards. Also the sweetness shines here at first by absolute absence, only shortly before the exit one guesses something slightly sweet ambriertes. Courageous!

Overall, therefore, a new fragrance that you can not compare with any other. Slightly woody GREEN probably fits best as a paraphrase. H/S rather settled in the lower average.
