Black Meisterstück – Absolute Incense
An icon of writing culture, the sleek and timeless design of the Montblanc Meisterstück has inspired a rich fragrance that evokes an elevated writing experience, from the smooth precious resin reminiscent of the warm sensation of the iconic writing instrument warming against the fingers as the creative process unfolds and takes shape.
The intensity and opulence of the Meisterstück is expressed with noble Incense of Somalia drawn from wood resin. Warmed by nutmeg and illuminated by fiery ginger, the distinguished alchemy of incense radiates from top to dry down, evoking the timelessness and stature of a writing legend. A symphony of spices, aromatics, resins, balms and precious woods magnify the incense. The blazing dry down leans into a woody blend of vetiver, Indonesian patchouli and spicy Akigalawood, magnified by the mineral vibration of Amber notes.
Patchouli Ink – Dark Woods
As a nib glides across sheets of white paper and dark liquid crystalizes thoughts and ideas forever, inspiration becomes reality with every drop of Montblanc ink. Just as a writer makes an indelible mark with words, a perfumer creates a lasting sensation with a powerful and architectural olfactory tribute to the magic of ink.
Dark notes of Indonesian Patchouli evoke the smell of ink as the liquid coats the surface of paper, combined with coriander seeds and jasmine petals to create a pure readable first sensation. The refined power of orris roots and the warmth of vanillin carry the heart of the fragrance. A scent as powerful as words, the captivating Patchouli trail is highlighted an intense woody amber note. The intensity of Patchouli is softened by an artful pairing of white musk and vanilla, enlivening the fragrance.
