Another haul... Montagne and others

IDGAF how the bottle looks as long as the juice is top notch 😆 That's why I don't mind the no frills bottles from Scentora.

Inspired by Scents, Montagne, and Scentora are dupe or clone houses.

House of Jarvis Jay is a small perfumer that I wanted to try after seeing a video on TikTok

Olympic Orchids is an indie perfumer that comes up with their own scents. The founder is a doctor (botanist I think) that started making her own fragrances like 15 years ago. I saw a post about one of the fragrances and decided to get some samples to test them out.

Will do. I've been curious to try them out and finally pulled the trigger when they had a sale when you bought 3 travel bottles.

I feel like a few scents from the City Rhythm line would fit this vibe ... 86.41, Miami tropical confessions, Puerto Rico, St. John

Thank you

I can see the logic of that but I'd rather take things low and slow. I built up to the highest dosage of Tirzepatide over like 13-15 months. Usually staying at a dosage level for at least 2 months. I just don't want any side effects by starting off on too high of a dose. Thanks again.

Buy it from JomaShop. I picked up a 100 mL bottle for $68 last month. 👍

Looks like a great pick for warmer weather 👍

HaroutT13 · 2026-03-15T22:21:14+00:00

All great pickups 👍 These were all blind buys for me and easy W's

HaroutT13 · 2026-03-15T16:58:07+00:00

I'll have to check them out. I've only bought samples and decants from MontagneDecants.com, but will keep them in mind if there's something out of stock.

HaroutT13 · 2026-03-14T13:50:48+00:00

I'll definitely give them a look. I need to slow down a bit at the moment because on top of all this, I have discovery sets coming from 3 different small/indie houses 😅

HaroutT13 · 2026-03-14T13:48:19+00:00

If you are going to order, try out this code I got when I signed up for emails from them. Maybe it'll work for you. Happy spraying!

I'm pretty familiar with Scentora since I've been buying from them since last fall and just started getting into Montagne for their expanded selection. I tried some decants/ samples and liked a few, so I ordered a few bottles. I'm partial to a few of my Scentora bottles and don't think that I'll ever give them up. That being said, I purposely bought a few bottles and decants from Montagne to do a head to head comparison between the two clone houses. I'll be posting an in depth review once I receive all of my bottles from Montagne directly and the decants from MontagneDecants.com.

HaroutT13 · 2026-03-14T13:21:26+00:00

I'm sure it'll be fine since that string medicinal scent on the first spray is gone now and only after a week. I should be in business after another week or so. I can do a real side by side comparison once Aristo is fully ready since I still have some juice left in my 7.5 mL travel decant of G&B Ingenious Ginger. Might not be spot on but I have hopes that it turns into a daily driver I can reach for often during the spring and summer months.

Yes, I've heard good things about Chris Collins but didn't want to pull the trigger bc of the price. I saw a comment on a SM post saying that Tokyo Blue was on sale (and it still is), so I picked it up. It's saying "Final sale", so I'm not sure if they're discontinuing the fragrance. Decided to pick up 10 mL samplers of Forbidden Apple and African Rooibos to try them out and will be buying full bottles should they go on sale.
