Source Adage MONTO’AC Eau de Parfum

The Call of the Great Spirit

The name MONTO’AC comes from the Croatoan dialect and means “great spirit” – a name that reflects the fragrance’s depth and spiritual resonance. Inspired by the natural elements and the culture of the Indigenous peoples of the mid-Atlantic United States, this scent is a tribute to the forces that flow through all life. MONTO’AC evokes visions of the coastal hills and wooded landscapes of the Carolinas, where earth, salt, and smoke intertwine. It is a fragrance that leads you into the stillness of nature and reminds you of the invisible bond between humanity and the land.

Tobacco, Oakmoss, and the Soul of Leather

The composition of MONTO’AC opens with a brisk, salty breeze, where silver sage reveals its aromatic clarity. The fresh, green sweetness of Muscadinia grape lends brightness and unexpected fruitiness to the top notes. At the heart, the depth of the forest emerges: earthy oakmoss and green tobacco leaf conjure the image of damp forest floor and sunlit foliage. In the base, the solemn warmth of frankincense meets the supple richness of leather, creating a smoky, grounded foundation – spiritual, earthy, and mysterious. In its arc, MONTO’AC unites the elements: air, earth, fire, and spirit.
