Advantages: Very distinctive scent, nice looking bottle

Disadvantages: So strong it's overpowering, starts to smell nasty after a while

I was walking through duty free at the airport, when I smelled an amazing perfume. I then spent several harried minutes getting later for my flight before identifying it as Femme Individuelle by Montblanc. It smells quite sweet, and not like any other perfume I have smelled before. It is kind of like a posh dessert crossed with flowers, although their website describes it as "Opening with pink bay and juicy red currant notes. Rose and lotus flower create a uniquely feminine accord. Entrancing amber merges with vanilla and sensuous musk". All a bit posh sounding for me.


Femme Individuelle comes in a 50ml bottle with a silver top with a white flower on it, which does look pretty. The perfume itself is pink, which looks a bit unusual too.
I bought a bottle and went merrily on with my holiday.

All was great the first few times I wore the perfume. It smelled nice and unusual. Unfortunately though, the "unusualness" soon started to grate on me, and now I can't stand it. The smell is very strong and makes me feel quite ill now.

I would recommend this perfume only if you don't mind strong scents - it would probably be worth trying a tester first to see if it suits you. As for me, I'm left with a very pretty bottle of perfume sitting on my dressing table.

Summary: Buy this perfume only if you're really sure you're going to like it.
