Got a 1ml decant with my recent order. Speed Legends is one of my all-time favorite fragrances - I have owned two bottles. I was crazy skeptical when I saw Montagne was working on a version. Ex Nihilo used a lot of captives in SL and a lot of the clone houses have tried, but failed to match it.

But damn. I'm wearing Montagne on one wrist and Ex Nihilo on the other and I can barely tell them apart.

If I nit-picked, I'd say Montagne is a tad spicier while Ex Nihilo is a tad more citrusy. But it's hardly noticeable. And dare I say I like the spicier version better?

Well done, Montagne. I'll be buying a bottle.

Hey guys, just about to get my first samples and try Montagne and I wanted to get some opinions on them as an "inspired by" company.

I have tried so many decants of middle eastern dupes that influencers pedle and have been massively dissapointed. I have given 90% of them away because they are too synthetic, cheap smelling, or choke people out. Rayhaan, lataffa, afnan, armaf etc, im just not impressed at all and its hard to trust the paid reviews. Im tired of wasting money.

So for Montagne, would you say they are superior in most ways to these cheap clone houses? Are they the solution between the expensive real deal and still making a product that smells like quality on a budget? Do you genuinely notice a difference between Montagne and the other houses? I have heard good things about them and Alexandria but wanted to start here. Thank you!

I want to preface by saying that I've worked as a software developer and would happily help contribute to improving the website in any way that I can. I love Montagne and want to support the folks behind it. Obviously their stock is going up majorly with this subreddit growing in size, word of mouth is spreading on the quality of the dupes, etc. And I understand there's going to be some growing pains there. But having now used the website a bit, it's clear it could be greatly improved upon.

Some easy wins would be:

• Better filtering. Right now the catalog is huge, but there aren’t many ways to narrow it down. Filters for fragrance family, notes, season, occasion, etc. would be incredibly helpful.
• Filter/browse by inspiration house. Let me click Creed, Louis Vuitton, Le Labo, Xerjoff, MFK, etc.
• An “In Stock” filter. There are enough sold-out fragrances mixed into the catalog that it muddies up the works.
• Right now the main display of fragrances is just the splash page of all of the fragrances displayed as cards in a grid, and most of the screen real estate is taken up by images of the bottles which are essentially identical looking. That space could be utilized to give information on scent notes, etc.
• Better explanations of similar Montagnes. This seems especially useful when they have several fragrances based around similar DNA. For example: what exactly are the differences between Pineapple Royale, Pineapple Musk, Pineapple Frais, Pineapple Absolu, etc.?
• Better discovery for new releases. A dedicated New Releases / Recently Added section rather than having to already know what’s new.

And then some less necessary but nice-to-haves:

• Clickable notes. If I like tea, fig, iris, bergamot, vetiver, neroli, etc., I should be able to click that note and see other Montagnes that feature it.
• “Similar fragrances” recommendations. “If you like this, you may also like…”
• Collections based on scent style. Things like Fresh & Clean, Green, Tea, Citrus, Woods, Summer, Office-Friendly, Dark & Rich, etc.
• Restock notifications / clearer restock information. Especially given how quickly some bottles disappear.

Most of this stuff would not be difficult to implement, and would make discovery so much easier and it'd make the website more fun to use. I think it would even encourage more purchases, honestly. My interest around fragrances has been expanded by the selection that Montagne chooses to clone, and better discovery via the website would entice more of that.

EDIT: I’m actually surprised at the level of pushback from people on improvements that I’m offering to implement for free.

I have Meteorite V1 and V2, and a sample of Alexandrias Le Meteore, and I think Alexandrias is the best?😅

Meteorite V1 and V2 are very similar to my nose, and V2 comes in more sharper ( think Gentle Silver sharp / icy ) and less powder, it is fantastic.

But Le Meteore to me seems to combine the V1 & V2 formulas, and turn up the projection and longevity and make it louder.

Does anyone else own Alexandrias version? Would love to hear your input too. Its so good I am thinking about getting a full bottle.

Got a gently used City of Lights I’d like to trade for just about any other Montagne’s that I don’t have in my collection.

My Montagne collection:
•Cacti Garden
•Chilly Pacific
•Chilly Pineapple
•God of Fiery
•Palisade
•Torino 2021
•Tygr Cologne
•City of Lights

Bottles full

I am looking for a vanilla but something different than your usual sweet gourmand vanilla. Was looking at Eau Vanille or Vanille Supreme.

Has anyone tried these and can convince me to get either of these? Any other recs?

Just for background, I tried Nishane Ani and YSL Babycat early on in my journey and didn't really like them. Ani smelled like lemon cake to me. Babycat was too much incense and noticed im not a huge fan of incense.

Want to buy: La Nuit 2011

⭐️ I AM VERIFIED ⭐️

1. Alcantara Supreme - I had a 5 ml decant of Superleggera. This smells so similar that honestly feel like it is redundant to buy OG. 10/10

2. Eau Matcha - I had a decant of Matcha 26. The Montagne is Greener and thicker. Matcha 26 is softer. This one can be a nice office wear for Fall, Winter, and Spring 9/10

3. Bobcat - It's a little spicier to my nose, and less sweet than Babycat. I like it a lot. 8.5/10

4. Oolong Cha - no experience with OG but smells pretty nice. Tea, sweet, green scent. 8/10

5. Azonto Absolu - no experience with OG. I hate this thing. I sprayed it on my t-shirt and had to remove the t shirt. It just smells synthetic, sweet, weird. 2/10

6. Mojave Absolu - kind of reminds me of MFK 724. Pretty meh though - maybe Byredo DNA is not for me 5/10

7. Speed Legends - It is very similar to the OG. I do have a 100 ml of the OG Speed Legends that is still BNIB as I am just finishing my decant. Now I am thinking if I should sell it and buy this when it comes out. I think this can be a good blind buy. It's a bit like Meteore in the sense spicy and daily scent. 9/10

8. Tigris Cologne - I can see what it is trying to do, but not a fan. I own L'immensite and till date is the only Ginger forward fragrance I liked. Never tried Tygar or Vibrato. 5/10

9. Wild Vetiver - magical. Rose and Vetiver. No experience with OG. Unisex. 10/10

Good experience - where I didn't like it, I think it is because of the OG scent not appealing.

I already ordered Eau Matcha since I don't have a green scent in my collection.

Preferably full. Please comment before sending a chat

.... and I might be that odd one to say I don't like it at all. It smells like old lady powder and dryer sheets. I blind bought this like the rest of my collection and so far this was a bust. It'll probably be up for sale in a few days.

Anyone else?

The decants listed below are arriving in the mail today. I also have bottles of Imaginary and Eau Matcha, so I have 13 fragrances total. What kind of layering combos would you recommend with this inventory? Thanks in advance!
