I blind bought this. I love it. It's a good price to smell like a undertoned Aventus. Aventus has never got me a compliment. This within an hour of owning going to grocery store has.
@@derekquinones8614 I have noticed a problem with the Mont Blanc Individual bottle. The atomizer tube doesnt go all the way down to the bottom of the bottle. Have you noticed the same thing?
i'm glad you commented this. this is not very well know, as i see it, a lot of people are partial towards aventus. i have just ordered explorer, should arrive in the next few days. i don't care if its a copy or not, i like it. even prada was treated more gentle about carbon, "it's their take on Sauvage", and not a copy or ripoff.
I have been interested in this fragrance lately. You've been gone a few months already and I'll get this based on what you think, Carlos! You live on through your passion. Always missed, never forgotten.
My favorite part of the video is the field trip to Macy's! My husband is not a frag head so I think this would be great for him! Especially for the office. I have a secret to tell, I've never smelled Aventus. I might be the only person in the community who hasn't! :) Blessings sent your way...
Explorer smells close enough for me to Aventis and it’s over 10 times cheaper. You nailed it on the head. It has that bergamot in the beginning instead of the pineapple but besides that it’s close enough. Especially for my pocket
The new intro is very powerful! I like it and the fact you showed your way through Macy's. I Iike Montblanc's frags and will think about buying this one. Will test it first by myself. Thanks for the video.
My husband loves Montblanc Legend Spirit (I also love it on him). I like the smell of Aventus, but it turns so woodsy on my husband and he doesn’t like it 😮. Tempted to still try this on him.
I clicked on a video for explorer and when it started playing it recommended on the side bar bfls review for it. Needless to say I ditched the first video, clicked on bfl and here we are y’all!!!
What's up Carlos? Nice review as always. Thanks for introducing new fragrances to us all. I was wondering if the scents you love these days are different than years ago?
I kinda wish Mont Blanc would’ve made a clone of silver mountain water instead since they do make ink and high-end pens. It just makes more sense since smw does have a inky vibe.
THE ORIGINAL GANGSTER IS CREED ADVENTUS. This is the closest copy I’ve smelled yet!! Get your own smell and stop biting others Mr. Blanc! Ohhhh but I like it! It does smell nice!!
Thanks for bringing your perspective on this new release Carlos. Can always count on you to bring us the newest releases. Love the Macy's visit, always great when you switch things up.
Great video Carlos!! Diggin' the new intro!! I am one of the newer frag heads who has never smelled Aventus so I would not know the difference but I trust your opinion. If I happen to cross paths with this one I will give it a try.
Honestly I enjoyed the most of.... you! The way that you had presented the video: interesting, short, light and fun... absolutely loveee your reviews! A question: how this one with lady reactions..??
So this is Aventus without the opening? Is that it? Usually, the clones go the other way. Pineapple opening and a weird chemical mix that kinda smells like the drydown.
It's basically Aventus without the longevity/projection. They yanked out the subtle notes that the average nose won't notice and sold it for substantially cheaper.
I’m a fan of Emblem Absolu... too bad it’s hard to find. I bought it in Europe and when I got home I discovered that the baggage folks had stolen several bottles from my luggage.
Honestly after it’s all said and done Aventus might be the most popular frag of all time. It is just a fucking beast. They sure hit it big with that gem to say the least.
Creed stole the individual dna for original santal, now Mont Blanc took the aventus dna.. seems fair. Isn’t it the first mainstream designer brand to copy that dna?
Digging the new intro! I smelled this at Macy's today, the woman told me it was by far their best seller lately. I've never had a chance to smell Aventus unfortunately, but I liked this a lot. Knowing it's an Aventus clone I can see why it's so hot at that price point. I wonder how it compares with Armaf Club de Nuit?
Great video Carlos! Thank you! Fully agree with you - it's very close to Aventus... I think it will cost 45 usd for 100ml online after 12 months, so I expect to be a massive hit... Oh, I forgot to mention - Explorer performs really well on my skin!
Carlos, Hoy are so humorous ,kind and honest.. I lo ve Acentúa., so I'll hice it a try. Can't wait until Tour next video. Love the Valentine video with Steven .
Another great review! I'm gonna have to wait for this one to be available in my country, it does seem interesting- does it smell 'cheap' or synthetic? Because I've heard that it smells that way.
Great video! I’m interested in this release. I need to get my nose on it. Like you said price isn’t bad. I look forward on a more in depth review on longevity.
I think it's also important to mention that for the people who purchase their fragrances exclusively at retailers and who don't know about the community, Creed or online discounters (the vast majority of the population I imagine) this is the first time they're smelling anything like Aventus. Essentially, it's the gateway fragrance that every major brand was waiting for - the signal that it's now okay to "release the beast" and to cash in on the meme. My guess is if it weren't for Sauvage, they would've done it long ago. And let's be honest, they've probably all had a fragrance waiting in the wings for a looong time. But we'll see!
Thanks for the honest review,, I figured you had this one.. You always get the latest releases, which is like a job in and of itself. was hoping this was at least a decent clone. My favorite thing about this video is the shirt your rocking today lol
I already have it But how close is it to aventus Which i dont like really either because of its hype I have the 1 fl oz I love it cuz aventus too expensive And this clone doesnt last long too me But again it doesnt smell that great just like the bottle lol so if it is really close to aventus i doubt id even like it
Mont blanc is an underrated house that I love!!!! My boys that are into scents get hung up on designer scents like Gucci n Versace n Armani but I tend to stray away with my nose n use it all n Mont Blanc is at the top of my list
Wait a couple of months and you will be able to snag a 100ml bottle for $30 at a discounter--always the case with most MB frags. Great video as usual my friend.
@George yep , still around the same price point. (50E). What he was saying earlier (30 dollars) would be something like 24GBP. Not going to happen very soon imo.
@brooklynfragrancelover All these aventus clones are getting out of hand....what are your thoughts on Intense Man by Club de Nuit? Better than this new Explorer by Mont Blanc?
I really like this one and I'm not a fan of Aventus clones or designer fragrances. To me , it's like a cross between Aventus and Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. Only a little smokier. It also reminds me of a smokier X batch.
Carlos, say it isn't so...I have heard the rumors about the new Montblanc Explorer Fragrance too. I suppose I will go to Macy's to sample it. I know two of the most popular Creed Aventus Clones are Insurrection Pure II and Club de Nuit Intense for Men. I too am a fan of Montblanc Legend and Legend Spirit, so I would expect more from Montblanc. I like your new intro for your channel today. Keep up with the great content.

Just got a compliment from a lady wearing explorer
@@myevorocks I've just bought a bottle. Waiting on delivery
I blind bought this. I love it. It's a good price to smell like a undertoned Aventus. Aventus has never got me a compliment. This within an hour of owning going to grocery store has.
I put this cologne on at 1 it is mow 9:28 and i still smell it andnit smells good. Decided to get this today instead of 1 million
Enjoy it
I want that Montblanc Explorer. People sleep on Montblanc but to me, they make some top-notch colognes.
Do they make any good fresh or summer/Spring fragrances that don’t smell dated?
@@fog7980 I really love Legend Spirit.
fog7980 individual is awesome and fresh by Mont Blanc
Derek Quinones I'm wearing that now. Individual is in my top 5 currently.
@@derekquinones8614 I have noticed a problem with the Mont Blanc Individual bottle. The atomizer tube doesnt go all the way down to the bottom of the bottle. Have you noticed the same thing?
I like how this one’s a comeback against Creed copying MontBlanc’s Individuel. It’s MontBlanc’s revenge towards Creed. lol
Which Creed scent is a copy of MontBlanc Individuel?
Creed Original Santal.
Ominous Helljumper Holy hell you’re right
i'm glad you commented this. this is not very well know, as i see it, a lot of people are partial towards aventus. i have just ordered explorer, should arrive in the next few days. i don't care if its a copy or not, i like it.
even prada was treated more gentle about carbon, "it's their take on Sauvage", and not a copy or ripoff.
susrev88 you’re actually right, people shat on Sauvage for having a metallic but when Prada has metallic notes and coal listed, it’s fine
I have been interested in this fragrance lately. You've been gone a few months already and I'll get this based on what you think, Carlos! You live on through your passion. Always missed, never forgotten.
You will be missed my dear friend. RIP
woah what
Omg so sad to hear this. May he rest in piece.
Nooo way??
8:03 which are the ones that you consider better?
Tiziana Terenzi Orion, PV Vanilla Intense, Nishane Hacivat among others
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover Thank you Carlos 👍🏼
I went to macy's and I tried it out. And honestly,it smells just like the king Aventus. Lasted up 7-8hrs on my skin.
My favorite part of this video is the “straight outta brooklyn shirt”
🙌
For some reason, every time you review a cologne, your shirt always matches the design of the cologne. Gotta love it!
My favorite part of the video is the field trip to Macy's! My husband is not a frag head so I think this would be great for him! Especially for the office. I have a secret to tell, I've never smelled Aventus. I might be the only person in the community who hasn't! :) Blessings sent your way...
you're a legend. you'll be missed greatly man
Tried it this past weekend. It smells great ! Lasted a good 9 hours on me !
Rest Easy King 👑🙏🏾
Which cologne do you think is the best clone of aventus?
Explorer smells close enough for me to Aventis and it’s over 10 times cheaper. You nailed it on the head. It has that bergamot in the beginning instead of the pineapple but besides that it’s close enough. Especially for my pocket
Nathaniel's Phone 100% true!!! Women don’t like the ambergris and Ambroxan smell. Women like Prada L’homme and D&G the One ect.
@@bobbystillz222 or Green Irish Tweed
@@andrewilliams9921 very true Dre! They definitely like the blue frags. Cool water, bleu de Chanel ect...
good call
Aventus
How much?
The new intro is very powerful! I like it and the fact you showed your way through Macy's. I Iike Montblanc's frags and will think about buying this one. Will test it first by myself. Thanks for the video.
I miss shopping at Macy's.. Anyways, is it a better alternative (less synthetic) than CDNIM?
Very informative. Thanks for the review I was thinking of buying this
Haven't had any Montblanc since I was gifted a bottle of Presence years ago. Might try this one.
That was actually their very first fragrance release. I’ve never smelled it, but found out that info while doing my research for this review
Carlos...it's been a.year since this review. Could you please tell us what the performance is like..projection and lasting power.
My husband loves Montblanc Legend Spirit (I also love it on him). I like the smell of Aventus, but it turns so woodsy on my husband and he doesn’t like it 😮. Tempted to still try this on him.
Another great video. I haven’t had the chance to check this out yet but you gave me a good idea of what it smells it. Thanks Carlos.
Hey - I heard sometimes a new batch can smell crappy and it needs some time to mature. Is this true and if so how long should I let the fragrance sit?
I love mont blanc! Legend is great safe fragrance, like Dylan blue. Spirit is nice too.
I love watching cologne videos and your one of my favorites . Such a positive vibe . Thanks . I just got my explorer by Mont Blanc ... it’s very nice
Thanks so much! Enjoy your new frag
how is the performence?? sry if i missed it in your video
It’s poor on skin, and should probably spray on clothing if you wind up getting it
I still haven't seen Explorer in TJ yet!!!
Maybe it’s doing better than the negative people originally thought
I’ve heard several people talking about how it smells like Aventus. So I’m interested in trying it to see what I think about it. Great video.
Thanks Brian
My favorite part of the video was when you tossed away the plastic with so much gusto and style! And what a great intro!!
Thats pretty much it for me. Aventus without the pineapple. Great fragrance!
Thanks for the warning/review. although I'm interested what this would smell like minus the pineapple.
Thanks for watching
I clicked on a video for explorer and when it started playing it recommended on the side bar bfls review for it. Needless to say I ditched the first video, clicked on bfl and here we are y’all!!!
Great intro! Gosh I don’t think I have anything from Montblanc. Interesting to see they are still putting stuff out there.
What's up Carlos? Nice review as always. Thanks for introducing new fragrances to us all. I was wondering if the scents you love these days are different than years ago?
For the most part. On occasion the fire I had for some fragrances dies down
carlos...which frag then do you consider the closest, better aventus "clone"? cdnim? thanks for the sammple giveaway of mont blanc.
I kinda wish Mont Blanc would’ve made a clone of silver mountain water instead since they do make ink and high-end pens. It just makes more sense since smw does have a inky vibe.
The thing I love most about your videos beyond the knowledge is your hand talking... it's very entertaining lol
+Brandon Miranyan LoL
Awesome vid.I want to try this...but I’ll wait for it to hit the sites myself .Thanks for the vid!!
Thanks for stopping by
THE ORIGINAL GANGSTER IS CREED ADVENTUS. This is the closest copy I’ve smelled yet!! Get your own smell and stop biting others Mr. Blanc! Ohhhh but I like it! It does smell nice!!
Thanks for bringing your perspective on this new release Carlos. Can always count on you to bring us the newest releases. Love the Macy's visit, always great when you switch things up.
Great video Carlos!! Diggin' the new intro!! I am one of the newer frag heads who has never smelled Aventus so I would not know the difference but I trust your opinion. If I happen to cross paths with this one I will give it a try.
It’s actually my original opening. I bring back every now and then
Honestly I enjoyed the most of.... you!
The way that you had presented the video: interesting, short, light and fun... absolutely loveee your reviews!
A question: how this one with lady reactions..??
So this is Aventus without the opening? Is that it? Usually, the clones go the other way. Pineapple opening and a weird chemical mix that kinda smells like the drydown.
Thanks for reviewing this Carlos I’ve been curious as to what you’d think. Everyone is arguing about it in the groups lol.
Arguing about what?
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover Hardcore Aventus fans are bashing it on every thread I’ve seen this fragrance on but that’s to be expected.
I've never smelled Creed! So Explorer would be my orgin reference point to me. I smelled it tonight and LOVED it!
It's basically Aventus without the longevity/projection. They yanked out the subtle notes that the average nose won't notice and sold it for substantially cheaper.
Just started my cologne collection a few months ago. A sample of this would fit in perfectly
Thanks for reviewing this Carlos. I'm a big fan of Legend also.
Which is the best Aventus clone?
Carlos, do you think this is the closest Creed Aventus Clone by far or there is a better one out there?
It’s not bad, but yes better put there
Is this EDT or EDP?
Edp
I’m a fan of Emblem Absolu... too bad it’s hard to find. I bought it in Europe and when I got home I discovered that the baggage folks had stolen several bottles from my luggage.
Oh that sux
Honestly after it’s all said and done Aventus might be the most popular frag of all time. It is just a fucking beast. They sure hit it big with that gem to say the least.
For sure
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Very informative as usual... Love how thorough you are brother.
Miss the classic opener...
Bashar AR it’ll be back. I like to mix things up on occasion
Creed stole the individual dna for original santal, now Mont Blanc took the aventus dna.. seems fair. Isn’t it the first mainstream designer brand to copy that dna?
Club de Nuit Intense Man or Mont Blanc Explorer?
Digging the new intro! I smelled this at Macy's today, the woman told me it was by far their best seller lately. I've never had a chance to smell Aventus unfortunately, but I liked this a lot. Knowing it's an Aventus clone I can see why it's so hot at that price point. I wonder how it compares with Armaf Club de Nuit?
Yes it really smells like aventus
Love the Montblanc DNA. Love your vids BrooklynBounce sir. Just subscribed!
Thanks so much
Dope shirt! That bottle looks really cool. Have a feeling this is gonna sell really good.
Thanks, Great review. Going to try this...
What is your favorite aventus clone
Super honest review as usual. Thanks Carlos!
Great video Carlos! Thank you! Fully agree with you - it's very close to Aventus... I think it will cost 45 usd for 100ml online after 12 months, so I expect to be a massive hit...
Oh, I forgot to mention - Explorer performs really well on my skin!
Carlos,
Hoy are so humorous ,kind and honest.. I lo ve Acentúa., so I'll hice it a try.
Can't wait until Tour next video.
Love the Valentine video with Steven .
Does it smell great? Depends on who you ask.
Wouldn't that also go for if it smells bad? Good and bad smells are subjective
Absolutely.
I liked the Macy’s part and your reaction to the size of the bottle. Thanks for the review
Short and sweet, yes, but maybe too short, you didn't share which were better clones of Creed Aventis, perhaps you could share what these are?
Wow nice review will check this fragrance
Hey Carlos! Love the new intro. Hopefully I can get my hands on this and test it out. Have a blessed day!
I just bought the 3.3oz bottle for $57 in Puerto Rico...and it is great smell.
The dry down Definitely remind me of Creed Aventus ! I got this the first day it came out and I don’t regret it!
Great 👍 enjoy it 😃
Another great review! I'm gonna have to wait for this one to be available in my country, it does seem interesting- does it smell 'cheap' or synthetic? Because I've heard that it smells that way.

Thank you for that great info. I always enjoy your videos. I like the intro too. Good job.
I already have it
But how close is it to aventus
Which i dont like really either because of its hype
I have the 1 fl oz
I love it cuz aventus too expensive
And this clone doesnt last long too me
But again it doesnt smell that great just like the bottle lol so if it is really close to aventus i doubt id even like it
No consigo este perfume por ningún lado. Ni en Macy’s . El link de Macy’s dice que no lo tienen disponible 😒
I know youre tired of clones, but I'm actually excited to see this! I like little variations. Send that 3 mL my way.
Got a sample and I have to say I enjoyed it
Tried it. Like it, though I'm getting tired of the Aventus feel. Thought I'd never say that a few years ago...
Loved the BBB treatment of the plastic wrapping haha!
😂
What had the best intro ? Why change it ?
What I liked most about this video is 1) that very nice musical intro; 2) your honesty. So, please send me the 3ml.
Mont blanc is an underrated house that I love!!!! My boys that are into scents get hung up on designer scents like Gucci n Versace n Armani but I tend to stray away with my nose n use it all n Mont Blanc is at the top of my list
You should wear what works for you!
Wait a couple of months and you will be able to snag a 100ml bottle for $30 at a discounter--always the case with most MB frags. Great video as usual my friend.
Thanks so much
I'd say 30$ is too much but around 40 is probably closer to the truth. I bought the 100ml for 52EURO yesterday , only 2 months from release.
@George yep , still around the same price point. (50E). What he was saying earlier (30 dollars) would be something like 24GBP. Not going to happen very soon imo.
This new video format is great!
Great review! Thank you.
I wanna try this one out
I love Mont Blanc Starwalker and I like Legend series.
Wish I could to Brooklyn and meet you and Stephen in person. I am interested in the giveaway. I can't afford aventus.
