Originally founded in 1908 by a banker, an engineer, and a stationer as the Simplo Filler Pen Company, today, the company has ventured into producing leather goods, watches, jewelry, and fragrances as well as their signature luxury pens. This expansion of products came with the new company name Montblanc and the current ownership by the Richmont Group. The name comes from the beautiful white snow-covered peak of the highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc. The first Montblanc fragrance was launched in 2001, and today Montblanc perfumes for women as well as Montblanc colognes remain the perfect luxurious fragrance for any collection.
