Montana Claude Montana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Corinne Cachen. Claude Montana opens with Bergamot, Jasmine, and Peach, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Montana's Claude Montana carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This 2014 release leans into a classic, unapologetically feminine style; it's a divisive scent, with some finding it a sophisticated retro dream, while others get a peculiar 'rabbit hutch' vibe. Definitely a 'love-it-or-hate-it' situation.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Claude Montana opens with a bright, realistic peach note, balanced by fresh bergamot and a hint of jasmine. As it develops, a robust blend of cedar and sandalwood emerges, softened by a prominent rose. The dry down is a cosy embrace of warm amber, musky tones, and a touch of labdanum, giving it a mature, elegant finish with a surprising spicy depth.
