Synonymous with excellence in craftsmanship and design, Montblanc has been pushing the boundaries of innovation ever since the Maison first revolutionized the culture of writing in 1906. Ingenuity and imagination continue to be driving forces for the Maison today as it advances its expression of fine craftsmanship across product categories: writing instruments, watches, leather goods, new technologies and accessories.
Explorers is one of the most versatile fragrances around. Aside from being an”aventus clone” this fragrance shines and at a great price. The opening of this fragrance is sweet but masculine. Strong lemon/pineapple. The performance is great but you may become nose blind to it. Trust me, other people can smell you. This fragrance is an easy grab day in and out.

Disappointing
I usually buy Hermes Intense Vetiver but I wanted a change. This has hardly any perfume and seems like a water down version. I was thinking of returning it but became too lazy. I would not recommend it.

the best
This is literally the best smelling, longest lasting cologne on the market. Has a resemblance to creed but better. It will probably be his lifetime favorite scent.

Close to Creed Aventus
Smells really great and the scent is very close to Creed Aventus. I have both colognes. I use more of Montblanc on daily or night outs. I save my Aventus for special occasions. I plan to buy this Montblanc in the future.

His or hers?
The sales clerk at Nordstrom Galleria Houston directed me to test this scent for his Father’s Day gift. I had another fragrance in mind originally but after I smelled Montblanc, OH MY GOSH! It smells fabulous!! To deepen my liking of this fragrance, I tested it on myself to see if he would like it. What a surprise. Oh my gosh this smells great on ladies and it has a lasting scent!!! I can’t wait for Father’s Day.
Thanks,
Nordstrom
I purchased the gift set on sale $100 w/tax, reasonable pricing.

Explorer cologne
Found this cologne in Men's Health. Gave it a try and really like it. A bit strong but the scent as it fades really smells good and doesn't overpower. Good purchase, recommend highly
