An ornate tobacco leather with a hint of intoxicating tobacco bloom, as well as fresh leaves.
Montabaco is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection and represents Latin America, the land where tobacco originated.
The perfumer conjures the original jungle encounters between natives and the sailor-explorers (who were totally oblivious to the magic of tobacco at that point). This is a novel interpretation of a tobacco-themed perfume, invoking lush green shadows full of parrot cries, mysterious blooms, and adventure.
The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42%. Hence the 'intensivo' in the title.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Montabaco suits the convivial stretch of an evening when conversation becomes more animated and people draw closer. Green tobacco and cardamom retain a brisk edge, while the suede-like warmth suggests a soft leather jacket worn comfortably, not a formal entrance.
How to wear
Mild or cool weather gives the tobacco, tea and woods room to unfold without crowding their aromatic freshness. With this concentrated extrait, start with one or two sprays on the torso or forearms; a restrained application keeps the leather warmth close while allowing the greener facets to lift into the air.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy tobacco as a green, textured leaf rather than a sweet or heavily smoky accord. It will appeal to lovers of aromatic woods, dry tea, supple leather and the spacious character of Iso E Super, especially those seeking richness without a syrupy finish.
Release year
2012, Intensivo 2013
The nose
Geza Schoen composed Montabaco, working with Linda Pilkington on the travel-inspired concept. Known for founding Escentric Molecules, Schoen explores the expressive possibilities of modern aroma materials, particularly Iso E Super. His transparent, expansive approach gives Montabaco’s tobacco and suede an aromatic lightness rather than a heavy, smoky weight.
Collaborators
Linda Pilkington, Ormonde Jayne’s founder and creative director, supplied the travel-inspired vision and worked with Geza Schoen on the Four Corners of the Earth collection. Her connection to South America informed Montabaco’s Latin American theme.
Ormonde Jayne’s story
Ormonde Jayne combines British craftsmanship with French perfumery and an interest in unusual materials. Founded by Linda Pilkington, the house translates travel memories into carefully structured fragrances, pairing distinctive ingredients with restrained bottle design and meticulous presentation.
Montabaco’s concept
Montabaco was conceived as the Latin American portrait within Four Corners of the Earth, a collection inspired by Linda Pilkington’s travels. Tobacco leaf, suede and woods convey that imagined landscape, while aromatic freshness and floral accents keep the composition open and luminous rather than densely smoky.
Extra info
Montabaco represented Latin America alongside Qi for the Far East, Nawab of Oudh for India and Tsarina for Russia. The original dates to 2012; the brand lists Montabaco Intensivo separately in 2013. The supplied 42% concentration and Intensivo wording refer to that concentrated interpretation.
