was super kind to send this to me. I've been enjoying a decant of PDM Percival over the summer, but the OG is too expensive for my usual budget. Montagne is, quite literally, the next best thing. I've heard that it is very similar to A&F Fierce, and I can tell that it is definitely inspired by it. There's a bit of that 1990's / 2000's mallrats scent to it. I used to kind of hate that, but over the years, it's really grown on me, and now it's a good nostalgia that brings back some of the friendlier memories and good times wandering around the mall with my friends and girlfriend. The nice thing here is that the dry down shifts quite a bit away from that and becomes a very fresh, lavender, clean soapy scent that's great for hot summer days or being at the office when you need something that won't offend anybody. Just keep the sprays light as the projection in the opening is incredibly strong, and it's quite easy to choke people out if you go too heavy.
This is definitely a Top 10 in the clone department for me. It's taking a place of pride next to my other Montagne bottles.
