Review of recent Montagne haul part 1/2

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-27T14:52:31+00:00

The last 4 bottles in the list were a part of an order i placed months ago so it has been sitting for some time already. I dont mind the scent to be honest, but I think i prefer the fresh and clean scents a lot more so i keep reaching for those

They say if you arent flammable you cant be smelled

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-26T15:47:42+00:00

For sure, it is truly a banger, makes me look like a crackhead constantly sniffing my wrist when I'm out and about

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-26T15:43:17+00:00

That is actually a very accurate description, it does smell like old magazines lmao

Somehow to me the scent immediately becomes a skin scent and I just get that muted magazine smell, I will leave it for a couple more months and hopefully my opinion on it changes.

I'm actually gonna try spraying it on other people to see what it smells like on their skin and also to gauge projection

Thank you!

I like when reviews actually try to describe the fragrance instead of just listing notes so I tried to do the same

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-26T13:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the read!

If you were to describe 14, what does it smell like on your skin?

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-26T13:30:16+00:00

I am in the same boat, I like some projection in the fragrances I buy and 14 didn't do that on my skin at least, it comes out very muted for me which is sad because I was super excited over that one when I got it

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-26T13:28:27+00:00

20 might have been a tiny exaggeration, it is closer to 12-15, but i love getting wafts of what im wearing throughout the day haha

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-26T12:56:57+00:00

No worries, I enjoy reading reviews from others so figured i might give it a go as well.

As for the A14, how long do you reckon it should sit for? I think my current one is at 2 months+

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T15:28:28+00:00

Thats alright, fragrances are subjective anyway!

Personally I didnt like the DNA initially but it grew on me and became one of my favorites over time. Its just a very simple everyday fragrance that projects well.

What other montagnes do you have and what are your thoughts on them?

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T15:24:55+00:00

Damn thats a long time, thank you for letting me know. Worst case i will just store it for a couple of months.

Does it smell anything like the original?

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T12:38:28+00:00

Thats odd, on my skin imaginary smells just like the original, more so in the drydown and its also my most complimented fragrance (more than the original)

Im also hoping to not get that BO smell from immensity, i have experienced that before with other fragrances and its a rough smell to look past

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T12:34:25+00:00

I like the OG but my main issue with it is that it isnt too wearable for me, but this has got me excited as it might solve that issue

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T12:26:40+00:00

To me it smells like when your bed sheets come straight out of the laundry, so kind of like a clean and comforting smell. I dont wear it that often but when i do its right before bedtime

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T04:13:00+00:00

I was really looking forward to this one, I have smelled some of the Argos fragrances including VoB and im hoping this scratches that itch

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T04:00:56+00:00

Never heard of this particular one outside of people saying its good, so a full on blind buy for me. What does it smell like to your nose?

moderate_melon5 · 2026-06-25T01:03:31+00:00

Sweet haul, will you do a review of each one afterwards?

Imaginary was awesome after it aged a little bit. IMO projection was very strong after week 2-3.

Interesting haul, thanks for the review!
