Montecristo is inspired by a rocky and deserted island, lost in the Mediterranean off the coast of Elba. Wild, mysterious and untamed, it was once a haven for pirates before being immortalized by Alexandre Dumas in The Count of Monte Cristo.
This fragrance captures the raw, sun-drenched soul of this isolated land.
A woody, honeyed, spicy and resinous extract, dedicated to helichrysum, the emblematic wild flower of the Mediterranean basin. The quintessential sun flower, also known as Immortelle, it reveals a dry, bitter and powerful, almost medicinal facet that lingers long after cutting.
Montecristo opens with warm, vibrant, liqueur-like and spicy notes, reminiscent of an amber-colored spirit enjoyed under a blazing sun. Quickly, a golden halo of honey, beeswax, and propolis envelops the composition, bringing a profound sweetness contrasted by the aromatic bitterness of helichrysum.
The background is anchored in a dark, mineral material.
An elegant Laotian oud, combined with rockrose, sacred frankincense, and myrrh, recreates the atmosphere of sun-baked rocks, burning resins, and wild vegetation. The song of cicadas, the warmth of the stones, and the dry island air hypnotize and seduce the traveler.
Montecristo is a fragrance of character, intense and sunny, on the border between the sacred and the wild.
