Femme Individuelle
Quietly good and largely forgotten, Montblanc Femme Individuelle Eau de Toilette 75ml is the kind of early two thousands release that rewards anyone who goes looking for it. The opening is tart. Blackcurrant is the only material up there, and it is sharp and dark with a green leafy bite, which gives the fragrance a sudden, slightly austere beginning rather than an inviting one.
What follows is softer and stranger. Rose provides the familiar flower, gentle and faintly fruity here, while hawthorn adds a dusty, musty sweetness of the sort you find in old hedgerows, and lotus cools everything down with a watery green cleanliness. Together they make a middle that is genuinely difficult to categorise, which is exactly why it has lasted as long as it has.
The end is warm and unhurried. Amber glows resinous and soft, vanilla adds a quiet sweetness, patchouli grounds it with earth, and white musk wraps the whole thing close to the skin for the final hours. Michel Almairac composed the fragrance and it was released in 2004. Eight materials and eau de toilette strength, which means four hours or thereabouts, a modest trail, and nothing that will trouble anyone sitting next to you. It is a daytime and workplace fragrance more than an evening one, it suits cooler months best, and it reads feminine. The 75ml bottle is the only size it comes in, and it is an unfussy object to have on a shelf.
Montblanc works from Hamburg as a German luxury goods maker, originally known for its fountain pens and writing instruments and later for watches, and it belongs to the Richemont group. Perfume is handled by a licensee rather than made in house.
