Fragrance houses

Montblanc

30 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Montblanc range is made of

50% of the 30 Montblanc fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain bergamot. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Montblanc returns to bergamot more than to anything else — across 30 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads safer than the catalogue as a whole: risk averages 0.20 against 0.34 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

The Montblanc range spreads 0.131 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2014.
