Montblanc Explorer Eau de Parfum

Montblanc Explorer is simply stunning. From the first spritz, you get a beautifully balanced blend of bergamot and vetiver that feels both fresh and deeply woody. It opens bright and citrusy, then settles into a rich, earthy base that lasts all day — genuinely impressive longevity. I’ve received more compliments wearing this than almost any other fragrance I own. The bottle looks gorgeous on a dresser too. It strikes that rare balance between casual and formal, perfect for any occasion. Absolutely worth every penny. This has earned a permanent spot in my collection.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Really like this fragrance. It has a clean, fresh opening with a subtle earthy warmth that isn’t overpowering. Good longevity and gets compliments. Great choice for a versatile cologne.

I had been undecided on this one, but after trying a sniff test in a high street outlet, I knew I had to get some. It's subtle, and inoffensive, but interesting at the same time. My usual everyday has been Channel Pour Monsieur, or Issey Miyake, but The Mont Blanc is not as 'exotic' as either of those but still good for wearing daytime and evening.

Lovely aftershave with great smell and good price

I love the Montblanc brand but have always found their fragrances underwhelming and poor performing. Generally every single drag I had from them disappeared from skin after 30 minutes. This one however, is a different story. While not the best performing perfume ever, the longevity and sillage are adequate. Id say it lasts around 4-6 hours with a medium sillage and then it fades away slowly. I could still smell it on my collar in the evening, but to be honest next time I will re-apply sometime in the afternoon to top it up. The scent is pleasant, not overly original or memorable, but definitely has some subtle class to it. It’s not as loud and youthful as YSL Y and being a little more refined is more suited for a man than a boy. I know that others have compared it to Aventus by Creed, and yes it’s very similar. Upon first spray it’s difficult to tell them apart, the differences start appearing after the top notes start fading away, Aventus is a little more fruity while this is leaning more towards the synthetics. Having said that, I firmly believe that overall it’s a much better buy than Aventus. Neither fragrance is very outstanding, both have the same familiar feeling - they remind you of something you might have smelled before. But, what Montblanc did right is being realistic. It’s an okay scent for an okay price. Contrary to Creed, where they try to sell you a bottle of okay-smelling perfume for £250. Save yourself some money and get the Montblanc version. But make sure you tell your friends and coworkers it’s Montblanc, let them know that Creed is overrated. Overall a good value scent I just wish it lasted a little longer.

Great smell. Get loads of compliments. Lasts all day

Good price and a nice smell

Sent back as it's clearly a fake. I use Mont Blanc all year round. This however smells nothing like. How has this got through the net. Thought the price was too good to be true.....
