Rendez vous a Paris

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the crispness of pear meets the subtle sweetness of vanilla and musk.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rendez-vous à Paris by Montale was launched in 2023 and crafted by Pierre Montale. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a burst of pear and rhubarb, bringing an unexpected freshness to the composition. The heart notes are anchored by rose petals and white flowers, creating a delicate yet alluring bouquet. Patchouli adds depth and earthiness, while musk and powdery notes lend a subtle warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — it blooms gradually over time. The initial freshness from pear and rhubarb fades within an hour, but the powdery and floral heart notes continue to evolve throughout the day.
