Présence
Corinne Cachen is a creator in her own right. This nose, renowned across the entire planet, is more passionate about art in general than about perfumery as such. Her ideas always allow the consumer to escape very far away, and Corinne Cachen pays no attention whatsoever to trends.

Where to buy
She far prefers to let her imagination speak. That said, her compositions are not devoid of restraint, and are always imbued with a deep elegance. Now, it is precisely this boldness combined with this innate taste for refinement that is found in the fragrance Présence pour Homme by Montblanc.
The very first fragrance from the house of Montblanc
While the house of Montblanc has today largely made a name for itself in the world of perfumery, it was in 2001 that it decided to take the plunge. Now, Présence pour Homme was its very first fragrance. This juice therefore embodies a very strong symbolism for the house. To create it, Montblanc decided to pay tribute to the importance of men in women's lives. In a press release, Montblanc took pleasure in imagining feminine thoughts toward their masculine love: Is that really you? The one who is there for me, whom I recognize even in the dark when he holds me in his arms and brushes against my skin? The one who gives me a feeling of fulfillment and whom I never finish discovering? I missed you, I need your presence… Présence pour Homme is a juice conceived in the image of a man who is present for his partner, both strong and passionate while knowing how to remain discreet. This fragrance is a wonderful blend of quality, refinement and luxury. It is a perfect embodiment of the image one has of the house of Montblanc. All the values of restraint and elegance of this great luxury house seem to come together in this one bottle.
The nuanced flavor of Présence pour Homme
Présence pour Homme is a fragrance conceived in the image of a masculine personality. As such, it is highly nuanced and reflects, through different accords, every aspect of men's character. Its fragrance opens with an intense freshness punctuated by spicier notes. The liveliness of bergamot and cardamom thus rubs against the glow of cinnamon and ginger. Then, more aromatic notes, a great classic of masculine fragrances, come to elevate this essence. Sage is here paired with apple. Heliotrope, for its part, gives this juice more sensitivity. Présence pour Homme does not, however, take long to assert its virility with greater power. Sandalwood and musk depict here a certain animalic quality. Tonka bean and amber, for their part, come to wrap the whole in a more carnal and sensual harmony. Naturally, it is all delivered in a bottle in the image of the house of Montblanc. Very luxurious and sophisticated, it plays on masculinity and restraint. Only its electric green color surprises with its boldness, marking the contradictory spirit of the recipe contained within this case.
