Review: Montblanc Signature Absolue Eau de Parfum

Review: Montblanc Signature Absolue Eau de Parfum 1

In 2020 we were introduced to Signature, the new feminine fragrance line in the Montblanc stable. Montblanc Signature EDP gave women a new way to express themselves; anchored in Montblanc’s heritage in the culture of writing, the name of the fragrance was a reminder that few things are more personal, unique and expressive than her signature. Pen in hand, ink on paper; it’s the lasting imprint of her personality and identity for others to remember her by.

The newly-launched Montblanc Signature Absolue continues the Signature story in a sparkling, radiant and intense new fragrance. The scent opens with rich fruity facets of mandarin, pink pepper and pear, before the heart bursts open with notes of tuberose, frangipani and ylang. At the base you’ll find warm notes of tonka bean, cedarwood and woody amber. The result? A sparkling, elegant and sensual fragrance.

How does it compare to the original Signature Eau de Parfum? And is it the right scent for you? Read our editor’s review for better insights into this new launch:

“I loved Montblanc Signature from the very first moment I tested it, and it’s had a permanent spot on my dressing table ever since (you can read my review here). I love the combination of fruity, floral and creamy notes and that the fragrance offers a scent that’s completely unique (fitting for the Montblanc woman, I’d say).

It was my favourite Montblanc fragrance, up until Signature Absolue came along. While the original Signature will always have a special place in my heart, Absolue has taken its spot, and has become my number one Montblanc scent.

For me personally, Signature Absolue is more sparkly and radiant than the original scent. While I love wearing Signature on cold days (its warm and creamy notes are a perfect complement to a rainy day), I’ll be comfortable wearing Signature Absolue all year round.

I love the combination of fruity and floral notes, which are in perfect harmony with the warmer, woody notes at the base of the fragrance. To me this is a feel-good scent: Whenever I wear it, it brings me joy and I feel sparkly and happy.

Everything about this fragrance is luxurious; from its design and packaging to the combination of fragrance notes. It smells expensive, which is a term often loosely used, but to me, rings true. You can literally smell that the ingredients are good quality and that a lot of care and expertise went into the making of the fragrance.

The scent is long-lasting, which is always one of my biggest concerns. If I spray it in the morning, I can still smell it on my skin by late afternoon.

Now let’s talk packaging. Gold is a very special element for Montblanc, as the nib of their iconic writing instruments is hand-crafted from gold. This was one of the inspirations to the perfumers who created this beautiful scent – they wanted to design a luminous fragrance that would evoke a timeless brilliance, much like this little detail in a Montblanc pen.

I absolutely adore the fragrance bottle. Like the original Signature, it takes on the shape of Montblanc’s iconic ink pots, but this time the transparent glass allows the gold coloured liquid to shine through.

Signature Absolue has become my go-to scent for meetings and events and I’ve even worn it on date night. It’s versatile, and I’ve received a number of compliments while wearing it.

Signature and Signature Absolue is a gorgeous duo for anyone who wants to make a lasting impression. If you’ve yet to smell Signature Absolue, I recommend heading down to your nearest shopping mall and testing it – you’re in for a treat.”
