  For a floral, it’s dense and mature. I detect carnation, ilang-ilang, neroli, and a rich, firm base… As for fruits, lots of plum and quite a bit of pineapple that sounds very natural. There’s something oriental and mysterious in that fragrance, a certain hidden solemnity. And, being Copper, it beats Gold and Silver; to me, it seems the most consistent of the three.

  Eau Cuivrée, one of those soft, floral waters for clean and methodical women.. oh wait, I lied, this was a nuclear bomb that surprisingly had a distinct copper tone. As a kid, I was one of those children who smelled and tasted everything out of pure curiosity; I’d try rabbit feed, pebbles… I also loved smelling my grandmother’s copper pots in the kitchen. Whoever said you can only smell them? I’d lick them. They had a metallic, sweet flavor that made you shiver, almost dizzy and orgasmic. This Montana was a bit like that. You could catch a whiff of Poison with its obvious plum note, but here there was a sweetness Dior doesn’t have. Copper was a radioactive, histrionic, almost childish fruity-floral, like a troubled little girl had raided a kitchen and dumped everything into a mixing bowl; the sweeter and more scandalous, the better. Still, it was a woman’s perfume, very sexy and very vulgar, a wonder. Maybe its launch date worked against it, because while classic bombs like Classique or Dolce & Gabbana were still being released, this one drank a bit more from the late eighties, even though it was a tipsy, narcotic fruity note that was so trendy then. To put it another way, it lacked that fun, surreal glamour of the moment that perfumes like Deci Delá, Edén, or Lempicka had. Eau Cuivrée could be seen as an illegitimate child of Joop Femme and Dior Poison, a crazy, light-headed daughter, like an Iris Chacón-style vedette. I keep a small tube in perfect condition; it came in a clear box along with the other two metal suggestions they made. From time to time, I put a drop on my hand and I get cross-eyed, as if I’d chugged a Coke all at once and held my breath. By the way, back then Montana was already a dead house, so these three perfumes were seen and unseen. Looking them up in the database, I see they brought them back (Copper, Gold, and Silver) in 2015 with different bottles and ingredients. The marketing campaign is pitiful and feels more like Punto Roma than this great house, now in decline, which contributed true treasures to perfume history.
