Montabaco

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Ormonde Jayne Montabaco

Montabaco is a smooth tobacco and suede scent, and our version keeps that feel: a fresh citrus opening, a tobacco and coffee heart, and a warm leathery base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Ormonde Jayne built Montabaco around a smooth, refined tobacco, pairing it with coffee and a soft suede for an elegant, cosy character rather than a heavy smoke.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep the orange and bergamot fresh up top, let tobacco and coffee warm the middle, and finish on a smooth leather, amber and suede base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury niche eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a smooth, refined tobacco and wants a niche style scent without the niche price.

How can it cost so much less than Ormonde Jayne Montabaco?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.
