Individuel
Individuel by Montblanc is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2003 in the budget price tier. It opens with mandarin, pink pepper and coriander, moves into cinnamon, tonka bean and jasmine and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood and musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
Heart
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
