Founded in Berlin in 1906 by engineer August Eberstein, with financial support from Alfred Nehemias, Montblanc began as a pen manufacturer. The company moved to Hamburg in 1907, adopted the name Montblanc in the early 1910s, and became Montblanc International in 1934. After being acquired by Dunhill in 1977, it joined Richemont in 1993 and expanded into watches, leather goods and fragrances.
Montblanc brings its heritage of writing instruments and leather goods into fragrance: understated lines, a star emblem and bottles with clean silhouettes. The compositions favour structured accords built around citrus, woods, aromatic notes and amber materials. Since 2010, the fragrances have been developed with Interparfums.
Montblanc fragrances are all sold out at Fragsplit right now.
