The Mont Blanc ink you referenced, Mr. P, is British Racing Green. It is a beloved but discontinued MB ink among fountain pen aficionados- which is a group of people even more geeky than frag heads 😃 I am both!!! My fave MB inks are Lavender Purple and Midnight Blues.

Fascinating. And yes, you’re right - that was the one. I think I was told that it was found to leave residues inside the mechanism of pens.

Having had the privilege to smell akigalawood pure - given it's a captive - I can assure you it doesn't deserve the comparison to harsh sandalwood materials. It is quite a clean woody note (when compared to patchouli) and very peppery, as well as diffusive but it doesn't feel piercing. I'm sure there are unpleasant combinations with it but it doesn't impart an effect like say, norlimbanol.
@Persolaise7 ай бұрын
Yes, I agree. I’ve smelt it on its own too, and you can feel/detect its connection with patchouli. In this scent, you can smell both ambery woods and synth sandalwoods.

Nice review. They're actually 125ml. To me the Extreme Leather smells almost identical to the Tom Ford Ombré Leather Parfum which is the quintessential expression of leather fragrances with luxurious dark mysterious notes.

Is the iris prominent in the extreme leather? Or is it just in the background? I was hoping for a powdery iris bomb.
@PersolaiseАй бұрын
I'd have to re-smell it, but I can't say that I recall a particularly strong iris note.

Does the vetiver one not smell almost exactly like the indian sandalwood by dunhill? Which was also an attempt of a dunhill private line?
@Persolaise4 ай бұрын
I honestly can’t remember. I’d have to re-smell the Dunhill.

I've been quite curious about these as Montblanc has a reputation of being one of the kings of the discount bins here in the US. I'm eager to try their attempts at higher end offerings. I'm especially interested in Patchouli Ink and Extreme Leather. They sound like they are pretty solid for the relatively low price.

Yes, I’d say ‘solid’ is a good word.

For Mont Blanc that's a very surprisingly acceptable price. I've never smelt any of their perfumes but hear they're not bad. I find their pens boring as they're predominantly black, but I have a vintage one which is lovely and is dark green. Disappointing that these perfumes do seem to be marketed to men.

To be fair, the pen world tends to think pink = women, so if MB pens are black (for men), it makes sense to them that the fragrances be for men too.
