The story

Gaël Montero: perfume as a travel diary

Portrait of a travelling nose

At Soleil d'Or, he is represented by Cappadocia, Madurai and Palais Bourbon for MEMO, as well as Safran Secret Extrait and Musc Nurāsana Extrait for MAISON CRIVELLI.

Who should wear a Gaël Montero perfume, and when?

His amber and vanilla compositions will appeal to lovers of warm, enveloping sillages, ideal in the evening and in the cold season. The same taste for travel can be found with Aliénor Massenet and Quentin Bisch.
