Montri, from Parfums Dusita was released in 2022. The perfumer behind this creation is Pissara Umavijani. It has the top notes of Cinnamon, Coriander, Dried Fruits, Nutmeg, Oregano, Petitgrain, and Saffron, middle notes of Jasmine, Leather, Orris Root, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Cedarwood, Oak, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
This beautiful, sentimental perfume has a lovely yet wistful story behind it and it’s inspired by Pissara’s father - Montri - and it makes a homage to him. Unfortunately he passed away in 2006 and because of the respect of his memory I felt for long time that I don’t have words enough to describe this scent as beautifully as I wanted to. The notes which are used around Agarwood was Montri’s most beloved fragrance notes and Pissara has made an amazing job to capture all emotions in this scent. Because of my own overly happy childhood yet some emotional blocks related to it with my father, the tears just started to flow while writing this. 🥹 ❤️ Montri opens up with a cloud of spices and a greenish Petitgrain but really quickly I get a delightfully sensual combination of mellow roses (May and Damask) and light leather and oud. Those are the main notes which mingle in the air and I’m more than happy to find that combo which is wearable in warmer weather too. A leather note is hard to me pull off when it´s warm and if it’s mellow and dark but this is really nicely done a soft whiff, just perfect. In my skin I don’t separate Jasmine (like a perfumer’s own Dried Fruit Accord neither) so I think this is worth to try even for those ones who doesn’t like Jasmine. Ylang-Ylang brings a little bit sweetness with Orris Butter and the latter one makes warm, powdery and delicate effect. Montri settles down in a base with Oud Palao, Oak, Cedar, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, Patchouli and Sandalwood. This juice really starts to shine in the warm weather and the warmer is the skin the prettier, softer and warmer is the aroma of it. In my cold skin during wintertime this was amazingly different than on my husband’s warm skin and on my skin now in a warmer weather.
