I own my Mont Blanc Explorer bottle for two years already. It smells really nice and masculine. The more I smell, the more I like it. Like it even more than Prada Lhomme.

[@Gwrightproductions1]

A great masculine freshy

[@victorlinge92]

Definitely close to Aventus but with a bit of a 'feel' of Sauvage to it. (Which only makes sense!)

[@Dude10946]

I was looking for a really masculine and fresh scent for my husband. I tried Aventus at Neiman Marcus and even bought a tester and just didn’t like it. Got CDNIM and I hated it so I returned it. Got a tester from Cedrat Boise and decided to buy it. But I did love Explorer. I like the opening and dry down the best. So I got it for him.

[@WSF176]

The real question Mr. Daver will be if 2022 Aventus will be the best Explorer alternative?

[@FragranceBros]

😂😂😂

[@oceansoflorewi]

This is a safer office version of Aventus that is still beautiful with high quality and has the same overall dna.

[@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT]

I remember blind buying this and I was hooked. Definitely smells amazing but the longevity on me is medium. I get 2 hours on my skin.

[@agigcbo]

The original is still my jam. There's a reason why so many houses have indirectly/directly gone down this road.

[@FragranceBros]

100% agree!

[@slmjm8849]

Love this fragrance. I use it all the time. Definitely reccomend.

[@newfront4]

I prefer Explorer. It's just a better fragrance to me.

[@jayskywalker5049]

SMELLS GREAT AND A DAMN GREAT PRICE POINT

[@raoulrusso7405]

Aventus batch in 2022 are reformulated again. The Dna has been changed. Now montblanc Explorer Is more similar to.aventus than aventus itself. If Explorer was a Little bit of Better quality It Will be a stunner. Love the scent by the way.

[@brunoherrera2248]

You should check out Prada Luna rossa black i think you will like it's a simple unique sweet scent that is similar to discontinued bvlgari black

[@Tommelise]

Oh I liked its design a lot and it has very juicy scent so I got a 30m bottle:)

[@jezebulls]

Is this Mont Blanc’s way of getting back at Creed for copying Individeul with Original Santal? Arguably

[@FragranceBros]

Could be!

[@ChickenCiaoMain]

You have broke this down really well. Great review and comparison to Aventus!

[@FragranceBros]

I appreciate that!

[@keithchegwin1222]

Parfums Vintage Emperor EDP is the closed I think, it's not that cheap tho. For a cheap one I like Zara Vibrant Leather, Explorer is good too.

[@BNOVA]

Great video Daver. You can check out a video The Fragrance Apprentice did on the history of "beef" between the house of Creed and Mont Blanc.

[@steveb8269]

Great recommendation, thats an awesome video 👍

[@BNOVA]

@@steveb8269 Thanks.

[@FragranceBros]

Is there really beef or just something we perceive as fragrance enthusiasts?

[@BNOVA]

@@FragranceBros If I remember correctly is was due to a perfumier moving from Mont Blanc to Creed that started it. It was quite an interesting story.

[@keithchegwin1222]

Yes great video 👌

[@dachucktaylor1]

Explorer reminds me of mix of Aventus and Sauvage.

[@jezebulls]

Probably due to the Ambroxan

[@dachucktaylor1]

@@jezebulls That is correct

[@a.d.c7941]

@@dachucktaylor1 as far as compliments, do u get any with explorer??

[@dachucktaylor1]

@@dachucktaylor1 bro thank u so much! Do u get you get pretty good longevity out of it? I was in macys last night and sprayed it on my hand. It seems strong.

[@cbake9440]

It is the best option for the price.next would be parfums vintage emperor or parfums pineapple intense.

[@PhiladelphiaWoodwinder]

What is the obsession with Aventus and things similar?

[@FragranceBros]

It smells good

[@PhiladelphiaWoodwinder]

@@FragranceBros LOL...touche, sir!

[@redhawkmillenium]

My go-to Aventus "killer" is "Sophisticated and Aromatic" by Hawthorne.

[@RichMitch]

Does it smell sophisticated and aromatic?

[@FragranceBros]

That’s another good one!

[@inthrutheoutdoor3464]

Only problem when ppl ask what you are wearing gotta go into the whole "Mount Blanc they are a pen company" thing lol

[@kaliberoh955]

Haha, have to? 😆

[@jezebulls]

Unless you’re like me and shamelessly tell them it’s Aventus. Come on, I can’t be the only one who wears the best clones and tell people it’s the original when asked. I mean… isn’t that the point? Lol

[@kaliberoh955]

@@jezebulls nah you are honest so nobody else buys the original 😉

[@chms566]

It's all about quality with Aventus, I think there are a fragrances that it can't be done with no real high quality ingredients, Aventus one of them... For me my nose just can't deal with poor quality fragrances at all, even I'm not hardcore guy.

[@FragranceBros]

Absolutely agree

[@dominicanheat2790]

They both smell alike. Buy MontBlanc

[@TheRealBrook1968]

Emperor Extrait is my favorite Aventus killer

[@hafshinjam]

Many of Aventus alternatives have Bergamot as the main note in them.🤔🤔🤔

[@kaliberoh955]

It smells like bond, scent of peace? Forgot the name.. Its better though, more aventus like.

[@Jon867]

I've only smelled Explorer in a store; it struck me as "nice" but ultimately it's an Aventus clone, and they're a dime-a-dozen. Funny how Mont Blanc jumped on this bandwagon nine years after the release of Aventus - talk about being late to the party...

[@DS-ff6ze]

Aventus itself is an Aventus clone. It's been reformulated so many times. I miss the earlier batches. With Aventus being nearly double the price it used to be, and no better in quality, Explorer is a very good purchase imo

[@Guinea54]

The youtube algorithm is really giving your channel the shaft. I never get notifications of any of your videos even clicking the bell. Not sure if this is just a problem on my end, but I would imagine it's happening to others.

[@FragranceBros]

Yeah it is. 😆 views are way down. I guess I need to resort to showing boobs in thumbnails. 🤣 Thank you for watching as always

[@Guinea54]

@@FragranceBros or dancing in your underpants lol

[@atobg_]

prefer this over cedrat boise

[@Dude10946]

Me too. Cedrat Boise has an awesome dry down. But I don’t like the lemon opening.

[@mishamishin5239]

What about Frapin the Orchid as Aventus option?

[@markusuerschels1455]

*This is IMHO the best alternative. Performs similar in smell, sillage & longevity to my more fruity batches 2014/2016 + much fairer price/value ratio. Would be my 1st choice for next bottle buy!* ☕😉👌

[@FragranceBros]

I haven’t tried that one yet, but it’s on my radar for sure!

[@blueberrymuffin9618]

Club de nuit intense is the best option,even better than the current aventus that is just appalling in longevity and performance

[@JH-Baksh]

Edt or Edp?

[@blueberrymuffin9618]

@@JH-Baksh edt

[@JH-Baksh]

@@blueberrymuffin9618 Thanks, do you try EDP?.

[@jezebulls]

I’ve also heard that EDT is the way to go because of the smokiness. I’ve heard that EDT is the only one with that harsh opening, but it’s perfect once you get past that. I think a lot of people prefer the EDP because it doesn’t have that harsh opening, but I don’t like that they also make it less smoky. What do you think?

[@FragranceBros]

I hate Club de Nuit. Smells like chemicals

[@Detroit_Siggy.]

Polo Romance had this smell 20 years ago young bucks

[@zertify1714]

How long did this bottle last you

[@felicecinque]

you don't smell the leather?!

[@justaddlight]

Really wish they do a SeXplorer flanker 🤣 That'll sell like hotcakes.

[@FragranceBros]

It should smell like Aventus Cologne 🥴

[@justaddlight]

@@FragranceBros The Versace Pour Homme mix. 😄 Just saw a vid from George (The Fragrance Apprentice) in which he remarks on the similarity of Viking Cologne to Baldessarini's Ultimate. Any thoughts?

[@yourkodi3945]

so maybe this or armaf club de nuit?

[@FragranceBros]

I think this is MUCH better than Armaf

[@tysonngo4953]

Edp or edt? Does edp last long?

[@saifhumaidi1314]

Edp

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Great topic

[@ICONOCLAST]

I think it is, but performance sucks

[@andrijacindric395]

Frapin The Orchid Man is fire !!

[@FragranceBros]

I still need to try that one!

[@andrijacindric395]

@@FragranceBros it's great if you can, please make a review. I bought it a couple of days ago at the store and i'm not sorry at all. Greetings from Croatia

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Armaf - Club de Nuit parfum is the king. This smells a little more natural BUT has no longevity. Armaf after 20 mins is spot on and last for ages.

[@jezebulls]

Are you referring to their latest Special Edition pure parfum?

[@buxz777]

To be honest I found cdnim to have a horrible harsh lemon opening even with the pure parfum and edp versions but it has a great scent trail that people seem to love My girlfriend loves the scent trail and says it’s a gorgeous smell but when she kisses my neck she says it smells rather chemical like I find Mont Blanc explorer much more refined in its blending and much less harsh and in your face and it still has a nice scent trail 🤷🏻‍♂️ I do appreciate what cdnim has achieved though and I do like it’s scent trail ✌️

[@xAl3216]

It stinks even after hours it’s so overhyped

[@Dude10946]

Nope. It’s headache inducing in the opening and it ruins the whole thing for me. To me it was very synthetic with lemon pledge. I can respect if other people like it but I just couldn’t. And trust me, I tried to like it

[@artymcfly8694]

Club de nuit: Hold my beer

[@oallanmathias]

The name of the video is wrong! The right name would be: Creed Aventus review! "Ooownn is not like Aventus... I'm so sad..." 😭 Probably because it's not a clone like CDNI, but an inspired! Bad job, man.

[@FragranceBros]

I disagree.

[@Juvenalpinedastaysfit]

Hey Fragrance Bros, what are your thoughts 💭 on Nishane Hacivat and or Tiziana Terenzi’s Orion? Thanks 🙏

Are you looking for opinions on them? I own both

Both are great. They both get in the Aventus ballpark but have subtle changes.

Yes
