The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Bond No 9 and crafted by Laurent Le Guernec, Montauk is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of New York's iconic East End. Black currant and bay leaf introduce an invigorating freshness, while hyacinth and lily-of-the-valley weave through the heart with delicate floral notes. The base of driftwood, amber, maple, and oak creates a warm, woody backdrop, evoking the rugged charm of Montauk's coastal landscape.
Montauk's top notes are bright and fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure that the heart and base notes have time to develop. The woody and amber base notes will gradually take center stage, providing a lasting warmth that complements the day.
