Parfums Dusita and their founder and perfumer Pissara Umavijani proudly present Montri, the thirteenth creation of the House’s Haute Parfumerie Collection. This new Eau de Parfum is named after the perfumer’s father, Thai poet Montri Umavijani (1941-2006), whose poetry has been in the core of every fragrance Mme Umavijani has ever composed. Being a direct homage to her father’s personality, Montri conveys aspects of his character and idiosyncrasies, the things he loved, and he believed in, as well as the fragrances he enjoyed the most. Wanting to reflect the soul’s eternal character, the perfumer went one step further: she imagined what kind of fragrance her father would have loved today, had he still been alive.
Montri opens with a gentle cloud of spices (Saffron, Nutmeg, Coriander, Cinnamon, Oregano), contrasted with the tonifying energy of Petitgrain and the subtly gourmand character of the perfumer’s own Dried Fruit Accord. In the heart, the deep, soulful beauty of Orris Butter meets the lush floralcy of May and Damask Rose, Jasmine Sambac and Ylang-Ylang, along with the edgy undercurrent of a soft Leather Accord and Tobacco accents. In the base, the precious Oud Palao shines in all its complex olfactive glory with emphasis on suavity, accompanied by Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Oakwood, and Tonka Bean.
