Les Sommets Ciel d'Hiver
Three materials, one idea: Moncler Les Sommets Ciel d'Hiver Eau de Parfum is as short a composition as a serious perfume gets, and there is no point pretending otherwise.
Neroli is the whole of the opening. Distilled from white blossom, it is bright, green, slightly bitter and restrained in its sweetness, far cleaner than the flower sounds, and it gives the first half hour a cold, washed brightness. Ambroxan takes over beneath it, and it is a modern material rather than a traditional one: dry, mineral, faintly salty and almost static, the quality that makes a scent read as polished skin. Sandalwood finishes it, creamy and smooth, and it is the only soft thing in the formula.
There is no long evolution here and nobody should buy it expecting one. What you smell in the first twenty minutes is what the scent is, slowly tilting from neroli towards ambroxan and sandalwood as the hours go by. Some people much prefer this kind of clarity to a crowded formula; others will find it plain, and it is better to know that before buying.
At eau de parfum strength the ambroxan does the heavy lifting on longevity, which is considerable, while projection stays moderate after the first hour. It reads as unisex, suits cold weather and daylight, and works well in company. Released in 2024, it belongs to the Les Sommets range, which positions it as part of a set rather than a standalone launch.
Moncler started in 1952 making quilted sleeping bags, tents and a lined hooded cape for people working at altitude, and it was the official outfitter of Lionel Terray's Alaskan expeditions in 1964. Remo Ruffini took the company over in 2003 and turned it into a luxury outerwear name, and perfumery came late, arriving in October 2021 and run under an exclusive worldwide licence with Interparfums rather than in house.
