Montblanc Explorer is a very pleasant fragrance, very likable, and can also be a great complement-getter, and what is really worth the respect, is that this fragrance does not smell like a typical designer fragrance, at all. I am not saying that Montblanc Explorer is similar to Aventus, but in the first 30 to 45 minutes after applying it, there is a sense of a familiar note, but it still has a unique touch of woody and earthy notes that completely separates this Montblanc scent from Creed’s golden winner. What I find strange and also the main reason why people tend to compare Explorer to Aventus, is that you can feel a soft touch of pineapple that is the victorious note of Aventus, but you cannot find it in Explorer’s note breakdown.ĭo I feel the massive pineapple in Montblanc Explorer? No.īut do I get that light but familiar pineapple touch? Yes. It’s described as an aromatic-woody fragrance, and that’s mostly what you get, even though I would say it smells more like a woody-synthetic scent, but in a positive way – the synthetic scent isn’t always a bad thing as it’s more of “color of the scent” The dry down of this fragrance has a leathery, woody, ambery effect – yes, lots of ambroxan and wood notes, mostly Akigalawood but Vetiver as well. The fruity bergamot that left its traces in the bare opening is fading away, and the heart of the fragrance is taking the wheel and driving us to the complete, different sphere of Explorer. © Image owner and creator: Īfter approximately 10 to 15 minutes, this fragrance slowly dries down, and that is when the transformation is evolving. The opening of Montblanc Explorer is very fruity-based, with a recognizable note of bergamot that immediately strikes you with the first spray.īesides bergamot, the spiciness and warmness that comes from pink pepper and clary sage can also be validated, but it’s not a very strong and easily noticeable smell, though it gives that quirky and funny note to the whole composition of fruity opening. Very pleasant and accessible fragrance, with a synthetic backbone. Montblanc Explorer smells like a fresh, spicy, and warm welcoming scent, that gains a noticeable leathery and woody effect once it dries down. Summary - Is Montblanc Explorer Worth It?.Montblanc Explorer vs Armaf Club De Nuit Intense.How Many Sprays of Montblanc Explorer is Enough?.What Does Montblanc Explorer Smell Like?.I have tested Montblanc Explorer multiple times or on multiple occasions and spent an entire bottle so, in this post, we will be discussing all the facts of why Explorer is (or isn’t) worth one’s time. It’s impossible to stay restrained in cases like these, and after all the different comments that you read, you still have no idea if Montblanc Explorer is a fragrance worth trying, then you landed in the right spot. One of the reasons why Montblanc Explorer gained so much popularity right after it was released in 2019, is the fact that some consumers find it offensively similar to Aventus, and even though Aventus is a famous victim of many clones, this case really took the wild turn and separated people in two, opposite groups. Is it unique and groundbreaking like some people say, or is it just a very good copy of Creed Aventus? Performance is commendable this is a great value.If you are a fragrance lover, there is no way you haven’t come across one of the many discussions about this momentous but also criticized scent by Montblanc – Explorer. It reminds me of the vanilla in the first Alien Goddess release, but less boring. It isn’t quite gourmand, but a little powdery. Instead, the base is a prominent vanilla. The “wolfwood,” described by Mugler as an “animalic” vegetal substitute for wood, is animalic, peaty and opaque. These two floral notes meet a grapey orange blossom to create an accord reminiscent of an overripe banana peel. This green is paired with an animalic, not tropical, ylang and a white flower I find a bit too sweet. It’s a thick, lightly mentholated, clover-green moss creeping up the trees in a thick cloud forest. The green nature bucks the idea of unripe, fresh flowers, vegetables, plants and stems. I think many of us lament the fact that we didn’t understand it, until it was gone. It took a while for people to appreciate it. The guts it took for a designer house to release this commands enormous respect. It’s a designer house willing to die on a hill for “the principal of the matter.” It eschews the mass-appealing designer template, with its quirky, niche personality.
This is a scent you can dislike, but admire for its rebel yell.
