  It pays homage to the 1989 Montana Parfum, though without the original potency or aldehydes, yet that nostalgic memory remains. The sillage is heavy at first, then moderates and lasts over 8 hours. It sits in the same vein as Jazz or Tsar, reminiscent of Azzaro Club Men, and projects strength. Ideal for cold weather or smoky environments like clubs (not for summer) if applied generously at first; it opens with a great trail, isn’t an overused scent, and smells fantastic.

  This fragrance pays homage to its 1989 sister, Montana Parfum, though it lacks the potency and aldehydes of the original, yet it still holds a memory. Heavy trail for the first hour, then moderate, with acceptable longevity (exceeds 8 hours). It fits the line of Jazz or Tsar, for those who like this style; it also reminds me of Azzaro’s Club Men at times. I feel good wearing it; it conveys strength and style. I consider it suitable for cold climates and polluted environments like nightclubs (not in summer), where if you apply generously at the start, it opens a good trail. It’s not an overused or very common scent today. In my opinion, a good Montana option that smells great.

  Today I enjoyed a sample of Montana Black Edition that Pacolete passed to me. Although it’s not my style, I enjoy it immensely. It transports me to my childhood: my mother used to bathe us in a zinc tub in the courtyard of the apartment building. It was another era, without comforts, but very happy. There weren’t hundreds of gels; you went to Pepe’s store and they gave you whatever was in stock. My mother used Magno gel, so it makes perfect sense I remember this: this perfume literally smells like the old Magno gel; the resemblance is impressive. On my skin, it doesn’t evolve much; the Magno gel scent stands out almost all the time, with a slight cola air and a woody tone at the end. It’s a beautiful, masculine, and classic aroma. I’ll use this delight even if it’s not my favorite. The performance isn’t extraordinary but exceeds 8 hours. The trail is potent at first, then moderate. It’s versatile for any weather and time, except hot summer days when it could be too much. Surprised it doesn’t have more reviews; it should be mandatory testing for classic lovers. Highly recommended. P.S.: Magno is a La Toja gel, now called “Magno Classic”.

  Seeing that this interesting flanker of Montana had few reviews, I bought it blind. I won’t go on, but I confess I haven’t gotten used to it yet: I’ve worn it little. I tasted the dominance of the incense, which defines this edition; it’s its soul and strength. It’s ash, that talc-like texture that gives it a dark natural feel. It’s balsamic, with something sweet and rancio that evokes wine, though there are no declared wine notes. I perceive citrus in the opening, somewhat acidic and synthetic, but they give way to the incense. The pepper adds that spice and warm heat. There’s no freshness once it settles. I like the scent of the vapor inside the box better than the bottle itself. It’s classic, ideal for interiors like an old café, a gourmet restaurant with wood, an antique bookstore, or solemn moments, even a cathedral. It evokes aging and tradition.

  The first day I wore it, a colleague and a female coworker told me it smells like a man, very well, but not in an old-man way. It’s an incense-barbershop vibe, super pleasant. The longevity is top-notch and the price is more than reasonable. The bottle is super original; maybe the cap lacks a bit of quality, but it stands out from the rest. You can feel its 90s air even though it’s from 2011, and it doesn’t clash today. It’s not for kids, but it’s very wearable and versatile: you can wear it to the office without being overwhelming, and at night you stand out from the crowd. Nowadays, liquid candies are in for the night, but this is more seductively retro.

  On the first day, a colleague and a friend told me: ‘Smells like a man, smells very good.’ It doesn’t smell old; it’s a pleasant, incense-like barbershop aroma. Top-tier longevity and a fair price. The bottle is super original, maybe the cap is a bit off, but it stands out. It has a 1990s vibe from 2011 that doesn’t clash, doesn’t smell aged, and isn’t for kids; it’s wearable and versatile. Works in the office without being overwhelming, and at night you stand out from the crowd; nowadays people wear liquid candy, but this is more seductively old-school.

  Smells very similar to Jacomo Jacomo. Smells like you just stepped out of a high-end barbershop. The cinnamon and incense give it an Emirati touch. Ideal for a romantic date or for wearing in autumn and winter.

  It smells very similar to Jacomo by Jacomo, as if just fresh out of a fancy barbershop. The cinnamon and incense give it an Emirati touch. Perfect for a romantic date or to wear in autumn and winter.

  A dark, amazing fragrance with an 80s touch at a bargain price. It’s a mix of Zino Davidoff, Drakkar Noir vibes, Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui (spices, florals, cinnamon, pine), plus incense and leather. Dark with charm. Those who claim it’s a clone of Jacomo by Jacomo either smoke crack or haven’t smelled it. I own the Jacomo by Jacomo, a great work by Christian Mathieu from 1981 at an insane price of 25 bucks. Fragrantica says it has 21 notes, but to me it smells of cloves, earthy patchouli, cyclamen, and pure SMOKE—pitch black like Ted Lapidus Oud Noir and the entire discography of Bauhaus. It smells smoky all the time, zero sweetness. The Jacomo bottle was a Zippo, man! Hard to wear. Compared to Interlude, Tuscan Leather, Gucci Guilty Absolute, or Ted Lapidus Black Extreme, those have the versatility of Nautica Voyage, Sauvage, or One Million Lucky. The Montana Black Edition is a charming EdT, stylish, retro without smelling dated, modern without being tacky or a cheap clone, made the old-fashioned way, lasts a long time, and has great projection. For 20-something euros for 125ml, I’d rather f*** all those niche perfumes at 300 bucks for the wealthy who then rub them in our faces to show off. Zero pretension.

  Dark beast of a scent with an 80s vibe at a ridiculous price. It’s a mix of Zino Davidoff, a nod to the legendary Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir, and Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui—so spices, flowers, cinnamon, pine, incense, and leather to give it personality… in short, dark charm and style. Those who say it’s a clone of Jacomo Jacomo either smoke crack or have never smelled it and are just talking out of their ass. I own the Jacomo, a great gothic cult classic by Christian Mathieu from 1981, also available at a laughable price. According to Fragrantica it has 21 notes, but to me it smells of cloves, earthy patchouli, cyclamen, and pure SMOKE, incredibly dark, as smoky as Ted Lapidus Oud Noir and the entire discography of Bauhaus. Period. And it keeps smelling of smoke the whole time. Zero sweetness. If that’s not enough, even the Jacomo bottle was a fucking Zippo, man. Hard to wear, next. Compared to Amouage Interlude, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, Gucci Guilty Absolute, or Ted Lapidus Black Extreme, this has the versatility of Nautica Voyage, Dior Sauvage, or One Million Lucky. The Montana Black Edition is a charming EdT, stylish, retro without smelling old, modern without being annoying or cheaply cloning trendy scents, made the old-fashioned way, plus it lasts forever and has great projection. For 20 euros for 125ml. I’m pissed at all those niche perfumes costing 300 bucks where you can only buy four and then they rub it in your face to show off. Zero posturing.

  Rough opening with a powerful pine note that lingers for much of the fragrance before yielding to leather and incense, giving it a gothic cathedral vibe. It doesn’t smell like Drakkar Noir or Tsar (beyond shared notes), but in some nuances, it reminds me of Cartier Pasha. I had to edit my first review because I was unfair at first due to not understanding it well; now I wear it for work and going out, day and night, even on cool summer mornings. Though not identical, it shares vibes with Xeryus and gets similar use, though the latter handles high temperatures better. The similarity to Jacomo is only in the dry down; they aren’t the same, plus this is more linear while Jacomo evolves into warmth. Be careful with usage because it contains Lyral. Update: I wore it today on a rainy day, dressed in black, and was surprised by that projecting gothic aroma that combines perfectly with wet pavement. Zero compliments, but I enjoy it immensely.

  A top-tier option to recall the Montana Parfum d’Homme from the brown bottle, which is no longer sold. Fortunately, this shares a good DNA and smells very similar.

  I’ve always been hunting for this retro scent that just wasn’t showing up in search results. It’s a potent blend of herbal soap, spices, woods, and moss, with gorgeous incense and a bitter floral touch. Sensual, woody, and dark, featuring a fougère base of pepper, citrus, and lavender. The tarragon in the opening crystallizes everything, and while the start is already great, I’m dying to see what else emerges. This is high-level ‘old school’ perfumery. I detect spicy flowers—clove, jasmine, and rose—forming a beautiful ensemble, followed by a green, piney resin note without losing that soapy vibe. If you’re bored with current perfumery and see yourself as a mix of Tom Selleck and Chuck Norris, buy this without hesitation.
