Montana Parfum de Peau is a Parfum launched in 1986, created by Edouard Fléchier. Parfum de Peau opens with Marigold, Orange Blossom, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Incense. Montana's Parfum de Peau carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper 80s powerhouse, divisive as anything but undeniably iconic. Some call it a masterpiece, others a 'gasoline monster' or worse. It's potent and unapologetic, so approach with caution, or better yet, a sense of adventure.

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.

Date Formal

Its immense longevity and sillage make it overwhelming for office or casual wear. This is a scent for special evenings, commanding attention at formal events or on a bold date, as many reviewers noted its "nightlife" and "sexbomb" appeal.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

De Peau explodes with a sharp, fruity kick of blackcurrant and ginger, quickly joined by peppery spice and a surprisingly clean orange blossom. The heart blooms into a complex floral tapestry of rose, jasmine, and narcissus, underscored by earthy patchouli. As it settles, a rich amber warmth deepens into a smoky, musky leather base, creating a second-skin sensation that's both raw and refined.
