Montblanc Explorer Eau de Parfum

Product Information

It is official. After nine years, we finally have a designer fragrance based on the most popular fragrance(s) in the world. This Montblanc Explorer review is my fragrant journey during the last five months. Indeed, it’s a great professional fragrance that could also be worn casually, but I think that a professional setting would be a perfect fit for it. Oh, boy. The Aventus fans will be right at home with Montblanc Explorer’s performance. I’m still wondering how so many people get below-average longevity with this perfume. Creed Aventus – the original creation of this scent profile and the most popular niche fragrance of all time. If you want the real deal, go with Aventus.

Mont Blanc | Explorer Eau de Parfum 60ml - Boots

I believe that this fragrance is good for anyone. Young and old. Men or women. This formula has a universal appeal and most likely, anyone would find it nice. Jordi Fernandez is best known for 24 Gold, while Antoine Maisondieu has done Burberry’s London, but the most famous work is hands down Paco Rabanne’s 1 Million by Olivier Pescheux. Fragrance Theme Montblanc snowcap emblem can be found on the bottom of the bottle, sprayer, the faux-leather wrapping, and on the top of the heavy metalliccap.While Montblanc Explorer can be considered as a little bit synthetic, it’s a clean fragrance with a summery character as is quite affordable too. It offers an impressive experience with a rich bouquet of notes. As the fragrance settles down, the freshness and pepperiness stay, now accompanied by the interplay between woodsy Patchouli and Ambroxans muskiness. A heavy and elongated minimalist bottle was created by designer and artist Mark Eisen. You may have noticed similarities to the Dunhill Icons bottle, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Finally, in terms of masculinity, it’s not mild by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s certainly not strong. I’d say this is a moderately masculine fragrance. It’s not overly verile or overbearing either. The most important thing I have learned in my journey is that we all share different opinions, and that’s fantastic. In fact, I think that the only person who can decide is something for you, is only you!

Dior Sauvage EDT -the Sauvage DNA runs through the Explorer’s body and gives it that freshness and woodiness with Ambroxan. Sauvage is arguably the most popular modern designer perfume. You have the exact same rubber finish that is meant to look like leather with the little Montblanc snowcap emblem on the front. The cap comes off quite nicely and the atomizer produces a nice mist. It’s focused and not too wide, just the way I like it. Finally, we have a base which is refreshing again, but still quite musky. It’s dominated by labdanum, a musky herbaceous note, earthy patchouli, and agarwood. So it’s not an oud per se, but it’s still on the musky side, and still quite woody. Explorer’s Life-Cycle, Wake & Strength It’s a great daytime fragrance and not something I wouldn’t particularly wear during the evening. Similarly, it’s probably best worn in the office.Montblanc’s official statement: “From South Africa to Haiti, Italy, Germany or Indonesia; Montblanc EXPLORER invites explorers on a fantastic journey, giving them the opportunity to discover the rarest ingredients and manufacturing methods that combine craftsmanship with the latest technology.” If a delivery attempt is made by Royal Mail and nobody is home to sign for the item, the driver will leave a card for you to arrange another delivery or collection from your local Royal Mail office. There are many similar fragrances in Explorer style out there, so I’m gonna name the few which stood the test of time.

By looking at the perfumers’ names alone, it’s no wonder that they were able to mix everything surprisingly naturally when you calculate the retail price. Big plus. Yet, I had to know how close it was. Straight up, I’m gonna be honest with you. The first time I spayed Explorer, a big smile appeared on my face. Why? Because it captures the magic of the two perfume giants. Throughout these wonderful years as a fragrance enthusiast, I have always strived for more. Now, I’m thankfully able to share it with you.Keep in mind that those who like it will comment on how nice you smell. Thus, I find it more a personal long-lasting, and easy-going potential mass-pleaser. Montblanc Explorer was created by three Givaudan perfumers: Jordi Fernandez, Antoine Maisondieu, and Olivier Pescheux. Fragrances included in that section are well worth your time and should be sampled by anyone who is serious about this hobby. Yet, I have always found something missing from them. They either offered too much unnecessary information or too little on what’s most important.

Earlier, I mentioned that it was particularly popular in people in their thirties and younger. I think this is better suited to people in their early thirties, rather than their twenties, but could still easily be worn by somebody in their twenties if they wanted. At the head, you will likely experience some fruitiness. However, it’s bergamot as opposed to pineapple. I did get a whiff of that tropical fruitiness right at the beginning, but it faded as soon as it was noticed. Zara Vibrant Leather – a more subtle version of Aventus. I find it the best version if you wish to sample the DNA. ConclusionAlthough fans of Aventus will likely comment that Explorer doesn’t nearly match it in performance, it is still a fragrance that holds its own. The sillage provides a nice trail behind the wearer, but not too long neither. It surely doesn’t push the game forward, yet it stays familiar with just above good enough quality to please everyone. Since it had enough time now to get even more popular with the general public, I predict that Montblanc is expecting another best-selling year. As for those in their twenties and thirties, it tends to be quite successful among both men and women. In fact, I would argue it is more popular among women than Creed Aventus is itself. A neat story comes with the signature star framed at the bottle center. This kind of attention to detail I would only expect from Chanel, Dior, and Hermes in the design world.
