No less than the perfumes that funded its
foundation, and just like ever y other stud
farm, Haras de Montaigu is sustained by
subtle but constant adjustment to a for-
mula. Each year of production, a little
bit more of this, a little bit less of that;
seeing what works, what doesn't work,
without compromising on the hallmarks
of your brand. Because with Thorough-
breds and perfume alike, there is no
such thing as the perfect balance. And
while tastes will always be changing, you
can't merely respond to some fleeting
commercial vogue. Your metier demands
time, and patience.
