The story behind the bottle.
Montaigne 2016 Edition by Caron, crafted by perfumer Jean Claude Delville, offers an elegant balance of citrus and floral notes with a powdery, musky depth. Launched in 2016, this fragrance opens with the brightness of tangerine and mimosa before transitioning into the heart of jasmine and narcissus, where green and aromatic undertones add complexity. The base notes of white musk, amber, and sandalwood create a warm and comforting finish.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top notes are bright but short-lived, so allow the fragrance to develop on your skin over time. This composition is best suited for daytime wear, as it maintains a subtle presence without overpowering.
