You are in the living room of an old villa, in the Tuscan countryside. It is the close of day. Every single element of the interior contributes to the warmth and reassuring comfort. The floor of old robust wood planks, aged and worn with use. In the massive fireplace, coals are still burning. The comfortable couch is made of the best leather, once stout and rigid, and spotlessly tanned, is now soft and worn, and the color is fading away with years of sideways afternoon sun. A deck of used playing cards lies abandoned on the coffee table next to the tobacco leaves of a hand rolled cigar and a glass of rum.

Montecristo strikes an impeccable balance between smokey and sweet and modern and classic. It has an unfaltering solidness yet it maintains a mysterious movement. Smooth notes of ambrette, benzoin, and rum rest atop the enticing sweetness of gaiac wood. Spice and tobacco curl like a plume of smoke in the last rays of sunlight. The entire evening is ahead of you and who knows what it will bring - surely a warm contentment and a deep long sleep.

Here's what other people are saying about Montecristo...

Got this as a sample and even with that small amount of juice, I really wish I didn't. If you love the scent of incense burning from a thurible during Catholic mass then this stuff is for you. It's projection, sillage, and longevity are great if you want to smell like that, I for one do not, but to each his own.

A masterpiece

It was okay and matched the description.

This is a challenging fragrance for me to wear. On paper, it’s pyramid looks to be a home run for me, but on my skin. it is overshadowed by a B.O. stink. I like a fragrance that dares to be dirty, but this is a persistent note that to me that is hard to overlook, which isn’t cool because I can tell there’s wonderful work underneath.

Ignore the 1-star review which doesn't understand what a leather scent is; as for me, this just isn't my cup of tea. I would lean on one of the Amouage "man" scents (Lyric, Memoir, maybe epic) in comparison to this, or one of the Divine ones (l'homme sage in particular)

A rich scent that lingers all day. Has a full tobacco flavour with a leather essence. When I wear it I get questions on what great scent am I wearing all day.

Well... if you like the type of perfume that smells like dead fur rat then go for it. unfortunately this rotten rat smell is the top note as it remains there for around 20 to 30 minutes then it develops to something quite leathery with incense and mostly oud, kind of very masculine and acceptable, but honestly i can not stand the top note at all, i almost threw up as i am the very risky type and never settle for anything but niche. and this one is purely not my taste.
