Initial Reaction and Ranking to Popular Montblanc Fragrances (Legend, Explorer, Starwalker & More)

[@SimonTBam]

I have literally hundreds of fragrances and strangely Montblanc Individual is one of my most complimented. I have had people I have never met or even heard of or seen before come up to me and say how beautiful my cologne is.

[@iismellgood]

One of my favorites of all time tbh

[@goricaj1]

My wife loves Spirit,I lean towards O/Parisi Bergamask and Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale

[@davidfulloption]

bruh, i just got it and it's lietral garbage... loud trash smell

[@Fashionkillacamm]

@@davidfulloption give it time. I purchased individuel last week feeling iffy about it, but now i love it.

[@racehines1438]

Totaly agree. Every time I wear individual I get compliments.

[@michaelg7425]

Legend Spirit lasts all day for me. I spray it on in the morning, go to work, and when I get home it's still there. I smell it throughout the day. It has a pretty linear smell for the first hour or so but it settles nicely on the skin and becomes more natural especially when you sweat. I spray 8-10 times including on clothing.

[@liamfisher9739]

I'm in the same boat. This has been my daily wear for some time now and I love it. I tried it on as a sample and immediately new it was my next purchase. I usually do 3 sprays and it lasts all day!

[@VenVile]

No wonder it lasts so long on you; 8-10 sprays

[@jimmy5634]

Starwalker is pretty nice. I own Legend, Individuel and Starwalker. I don’t own Explorer but I have sampled it. It’s nice if you don’t own CDIM, but it wouldn’t replace it. I’ve sampled Legend Spirit as well, but I already own a half a dozen similar fragrances and a couple of them are very good. As you guys say, they are all nice. My ratings… 1. Explorer 2. Starwalker 3. Legend 4. Legend Spirit 5. Individuel

[@hugo-yb5po]

Explorer isnt Aventus, it has his own personalty and for the price I can't name a better fragrance. Period.

[@1ma4ighter]

good thing I came to this video for your opinion

[@redpillthinking6043]

It smells probably 85% like Aventus, don't kid yourself.

[@13_faces]

I smelled them side by side and you're crazy if you don't think they are nearly identical

[@chrismyer3905]

Is Explorer Edt or Edp better?

[@mad5210]

I didn't find a Creed Aventus vibe with Explorer because I have Aventus so why would I buy a clone and I also have Club de Nuit Intense Man which is more of a Aventus clone and a tenth of the price.

[@fasttrackblastback8286]

Legend will always be my favourite!! Untouchable

[@Thabang_G]

The lady knows her stuff. Explorer is definitely the best, absolutely love it.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Legend Spirit lasts pretty good, especially for an aquatic. I do spray a bunch of it, but it’s not expensive, and you can spray as much as you want without offending anyone. The synthetic feel of it reminds me of an aquatic Dylan Blue…I’ve actually sprayed this during the day, and Dylan Blue over top in the evening.

[@ExecutorCR]

I do the same, I do the machinegun 👏🏼

[@veralau7801]

Explorer will always have my heart, blind-bought it back in 2019 and I was so happy with myself HAHA Its one of those very versatile fragrances which I feel so safe to wear at any point in time. Getting my 2nd bottle in the mail today actually after a couple of months of not having it in my arsenal and just living off a travel decant of whatever's left. I just couldn't delay not having it. For me, if it comes to sort of like "Clones" of Aventus, I don't think it is very much. Its really a scent on it's own, woodier and abit fruitier in my opinion to Creed's & a 1000X better than Club De Nuit Intense. Club De Nuit Intense out of all the "clones" for me, just doesn't cut it. I respect the people who do like it but its so so dense for me even after the dry-down. Like the "alcoholism" of it lingers forever :(

[@JinxTheCat_plays]

Are you sure you actually know your aftershaves Explorer has a longevity of 2 hrs max and that's being generous and it made of 70% alcohol? Club de nuit has the longest longevity out of the Creed clones and goes from the top note the middle and the base especially the EDP version, and I've been buying Creed for years. The club de nuit EDP version is like a grenade it's hard to believe it's less than £30. After the top note settles you aren't meant to smell aftershave on yourself but you can smell club de nuit all day long. I tried something different this year as Creed are always reformulating Aventus What's better than Explorer and Club de nuit is L'adventre but club de nuit for £25 is insane for it's aventus clone smell the longevity is insane explores has the worst longevity of a EDP fragrance I've ever seen even aftershaves from poundstrechers last longer than it, it's because of the insane alcohol content. What was good about not buying creed this year I discovered Tom Ford Oud wood this has to be the best fragrance I've smelled in my life but it's £220 for a tiny bottle.

[@veralau7801]

@@JinxTheCat_plays For me, I'm based in Singapore and its hot and humid af all year round. Using Club De Nuit here is a mess but sure if it works for you wherever you are then that's cool mann. Happy for you. I've bought Aventus once for my Dad and he loves it. Oud Wood's great too, but I prefer Tobacco Oud a lil bit more.

[@JinxTheCat_plays]

@@veralau7801 ye I get what your saying like wearing Oud wood on hot days and summer days doesn’t go too well but it smells lovely on evening nights and cold autumn winter days. I love Aventus as the temp here in the rarely goes above 30c hardly ever I’ve found Aventus to be a all round all season scent. But this time instead of getting a new bottle I bought club de nuit EDT EDP L’Aventre and Mont Blanc explorer I know decent scents smell and react differently to each person but I found club de nuit EDT good for work and the limited edition of EDP to be a steal and longevity is insane for under £30. What I’m really gutted about big time is Explorer mount Blanc big time I’ve never seen a scent that’s gone so fast it doesn’t even have time to hit the middle notes the sillage and the projection is only about a meter away for the first hr I’ve tried it on different people then asked somebody 2 hrs later if they can smell mount Blanc or aftershave and could only barely smell it when the guys in work I tested it on put their wrists up to the nose. If you want longevity I’d suggest you try L’Aventre by Alharmain if club de nuit doesn’t work for you. Or as you said you live in Singapore it’s that part of the world the Mont Blanc copy’s come from so maybe you are lucky the copy’s are actually better than the real ones and actually have a longevity of many hrs not 1-2 hrs 2 hrs is a massive stretch.

[@veralau7801]

@@JinxTheCat_plays Oh mann, perhaps that would be the case. Like if we're talking Mont Blanc products, the best ones for me would be Explorer and Legend EDP. Like those 2 were so versatile for me and I could fetch a good 5-6 hours, well into a work day kinda thing. Though a part of me does feel that the scent has dulled down a little bit too from my 1st bottle of Explorer. But I dont know if there's any change in formulation/older batch issues or just because I'm so so used to the scent. But my 2nd bottle's performance works similarly. Zara's Vibrant Leather's a great alternative too. I would wear Aventus myself but the price it bags here retail in Singapore is insane.

[@PhoneVersus-x9u]

I'm a nurse and Explorer is my work fragrance! It's professional but not offensive to the patients.

[@tato2493528]

i think the main mistake people make when they review fragrances is smelling it right off the bat. and not only that, but also smelling it to the touch. most fragrances smell better when smelled in the air, especially individuel

[@Supplanter4_12]

I have individual and I agree it's too sweet. But I agree it's better to test them through the day

[@TylerDurden_ELIXIR]

Have all of them. Individuel is my favorite and most complemented. So clean, so fresh, with a hint of raspberry. Some of the best reactions and complements of my entire collection came from Individuel. Also very long lasting. Starwalker is my “go to bed” fragrance. Very relaxing and easy to wear. Spirit is nothing more than a gym fragrance. An Invictus clone basically. I’d recommend Hawas a million times over. I don’t share the same nostalgia that some have for A&F so legend is just ok.

[@jlied6077]

man, its crazy, i love throwing starwalker on in the evening after a shower, its very relaxing and calming to me! i just with the performance was better.

[@PHOBIAx57x]

Been wearing Explorer for over 2 years. Just smelled Legend Spirit in store the other day and immediately fell in love. Half to buy it now! I’m also interested in Legend Night but haven’t found it to test yet.

[@itsmnelson]

Really surprising to hear that neither of you really care for Individuel. That’s such a beautiful, clean smelling fragrance. I keep a bottle of that around at all times since it’s so cheap. Only drawback is it performs very poorly. You know it’s a good scent when Creed copies its DNA for Original Santal!

[@aaronw7602]

Actually smelled Legend Spirit on someone at work and asked them what it was because I liked it so much. I've really enjoyed it. The initial like "pop" maybe doesn't last as long but for me the dry down does and it smells even better.

[@lolwhatever7307]

Bought legend spirit's decant a month ago and im glad i didnt buy a full bottle like i wanted to innitially. Opening is very nice, but for me drydown smells extremely synthetic, its very agressive for my nose and it seems like staying forever on cloths, atleast for 3-4 days. On skin its about 5-7 hours i would say. Hard pass on this ons for me, however i instantly fell in love with explorer, eventho i didnt smell any aventus-like frags before

Does it smell to leathery? Is it a sweet or rather fresh scent?

Individuel to me is a sandalwood soap in a bottle. Not a fan, gets better in the drydown but Explorer and Legend Spirit is the way to go from this line. Legend, good compliment getter too.

[@schizo0223]

Legend Spirit is my son's. It's his first fragrance and he took a long time choosing it. He smelled and tried out so many. (Thank you Nordstrom's South Coast Plaza for putting up with him over the months!) He wanted the Explorer because he says "it smells like me." But for a teenager his mom thought it was a little bit too grown up (he's only 15.) He sprays it on in the morning before class. I can smell it on him at dinner. Nice inoffensive. Kind of generic. I swear I smelled it somewhere, but it's cheap and readily available anywhere. I didn't know it was so popular, but I can see why.
