About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Gris Montaigne by Dior, launched in 2013 and composed by François Demachy, is a chypre floral that leans decidedly woody and earthy. The opening is a brisk citrus blend of bergamot and grapefruit, which quickly gives way to a lush heart of rose, strawberry, jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang. The base is where the fragrance anchors itself: patchouli and oakmoss dominate, supported by sandalwood, amber, cedar, and white musk. Collectors who appreciate a modern take on classic chypre structure will find this compelling, especially if they favor patchouli-forward compositions. The strawberry note adds a subtle, almost vintage fruitiness that distinguishes it from more austere chypres. It suits someone who wants a polished, office-appropriate scent with enough depth for evening wear. The woody and mossy accords are persistent, so expect longevity and a pronounced sillage. This is not a shy fragrance; it is assertive and grounded, ideal for those who enjoy earthy, rose-inflected woods.

中文簡介

Gris Montaigne 係 Dior 2013 年推出嘅西普花香調,由 François Demachy 調配。前調係佛手柑同葡萄柚嘅清爽柑橘,跟住玫瑰、草莓、茉莉、橙花同依蘭依蘭嘅花香核心慢慢浮現。基調以廣藿香同橡苔為主,加上檀香、琥珀、雪松同白麝香,木質同泥土感好突出。呢支香適合鍾意經典西普結構但想要現代演繹嘅收藏家,尤其係偏愛廣藿香主導嘅人。草莓嘅果香令佢多咗一份復古感,唔會太嚴肅。氣質優雅、有深度,適合辦公室或者夜晚場合。留香同擴散力都幾好,唔係低調類型。
