Montabaco Intensivo
Montabaco Intensivo by Ormonde Jayne is an unisex parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ozonic notes, sweet orange, bergamot, juniper berry, clary sage and cardamom, moves into magnolia, rose, violet and tea and dries down to tobacco leaf, iso e super, suede, sandalwood, oakmoss and tonka bean. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ozonic Notes The smell of air before a storm. Sharp, clean, slightly electric.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Tea Tea with no variety named. Dry, slightly tannic and calm.
Dry-down
- Tobacco Leaf Greener and drier than cured tobacco. Hay-like.
- Iso E Super Velvety, transparent wood that fades in and out. Half the market runs on it.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
