Mont Fort: The Story Told Through Scent
Meet Mont Fort, our signature scent, inspired by the crisp mountain air and warm, woody notes of the Swiss Alps.
The Journey Behind Mont Fort
Mont Fort is Juniper's first fragrance line: a hand soap, hand lotion and candle built around a single scent inspired by the Alps. It took nearly two years to develop.
Creating this fragrance was a journey, and it didn’t happen overnight. I went through countless scent profiles, sharing each version with family and friends until we finally found the right balance. Mont Fort opens with bright, herbal notes of juniper berries and bergamot, fresh and clean like an alpine breeze. As it burns, the heart notes of pine and patchouli start to warm through, and the base of tonka bean and musk settles in with a soft, comforting finish. To me, it’s the perfect reminder of time spent near Mont Fort mountain, grounding and freeing all at once.
Mont Fort isn’t just a fragrance; it’s a memory, a moment, a little reminder of the peace I feel in the mountains.

On the fragrance notes
Mont Fort is built in three layers:
- Top notes: juniper berries and bergamot
- Heart notes: pine and patchouli
- Base notes: tonka bean and musk
The inspiration was crisp mountain air, tall pine trees and quiet mornings, the feeling of stepping into a mountain chateau.
On what it’s made from
The hand soap and hand lotion are made in Sweden. Both are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and free from parabens and sulfates.
Crafted in the Heart of France
The candle is made in France from 100% plant-based wax derived from rapeseed oil.
I feel lucky to work with an incredible team in the Loire Valley, France, where the candles are produced. This factory is renowned for luxury, and over the last 2.5 years, my team and I have developed a wonderful relationship with them. They use 100% vegetable wax, which gives a cleaner burn, and every candle is wrapped in biodegradable packaging. It was important to me that Mont Fort stay true to my values of quality and responsibility.
Each candle has a burn time of up to 50 hours, filling any room with a warmth that’s both sophisticated and inviting. It’s the kind of scent that makes you pause and really enjoy the moment. Whether that’s a quiet evening by yourself or a dinner with friends.
I created Mont Fort to bring that boutique hotel experience home.
