Packaging

The eau de parfum has a volume of 100 ml and is filled into Montale's distinctive aluminium bottle. The red and pink design is complemented by a motif of St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square. According to the manufacturer, aluminium protects the fragrance from light and allows for extended maceration.

The bottle combines protection of the fragrance from light with a design that directly references Moscow.

About the brand

Maison Montale was founded in Paris in 2003 following Pierre Montale's return from the Arabian Peninsula. The French perfume house is characterised by an oriental signature and a pioneering focus on oud.

Montale uses noble natural ingredients in concentrated form with the aim of achieving high fragrance intensity. Pierre Montale selects oud essences from, among other places, Cambodia, India and Laos, while the roses used by the brand come from France, Bulgaria, Turkey, India and Saudi Arabia.

Rendez-vous à Moscou thus draws on the work of a Parisian perfume house with a distinctly oriental signature.
