@@rottenrebels I think lots of fragrance fall into that category.They aren't a cheap purchase anymore and i definitely won't blind buy any fragrance in the future.I imagine that Montblanc will bring another flanker out.Explorer Red maybe!!!!!!?
No not really . It's not that it's not pleasant. It is just that you have so much better scent profiles in your collection that you would not know when to wear it really. The only real plus is the price on discounter sites . It's like a no brainer every scent. Nothing to impress with really. it is their version of the blue fragrance that every designer house has ,but it is not Azzarro's specialty. I think if was to get it, it's more like ok now I can say that I have all the ones in that line . But that's it !
honestly when the lady at the counter sprayed this on a tester and handed it to me it fuzzed my brain alittle i wasnt sure if i liked it or not it was different than everything else i have. after going through some others testers i came back and bought it the mysterious fragrance stuck with me more than anything else that i smelled…
I was pleasantly surprised with this one. For me it’s one of the best releases in the past two years. Highly versatile non-aquatic citrus scent that’s a winner for me
I recently walked through Macy's and smelled through their whole collection. Platinum was the only thing that smelled new and unique and I bought a bottle. The dry down is lovely and it has legs.
@@rottenrebels a point more than whichever score Prada L'Homme has. Similarly, it's a fantastic daily driver but with better performance. On my skin, it is better and more interesting than Prada Luna Rossa Black, and definitely better than the original Explorer.
Platinum was a pleasant surprise for me, so much so, that I was happy to get a bottle, albeit at a great price. It's a versatile fragrance. Certainly a vast improvement over Ultra Blue. A package has literally just arrived, containing Brioni Éclat. It's been given a quick first blast and wow, what a wonderfully classy and understated, summer scent. It's absolutely gorgeous with notes of grapefruit, musk, ambroxan and rose. It will be my SOTD.
@@rottenrebels Hi Rotten 👍 Based on a first full wearing, it lasted several hours on my skin with moderate projection. It's perfect for Summer and is truly a beautiful, refreshing and classy scent. It was a blind buy but based on a few TH-cam recommendations. It easily exceeded my expectations.
Man Im on the fence with this one. Half the reviewers are saying its not good and to pass on it, the other half are saying its the best in the line and its a definite must try. Ive never seen so many mixed reviews before.
Just picked it up, the dry down is really nice! I get whiffs of it throughout the day and even still smell it after a shower. If you find it for a good price, get it
@@TerrainJeremy3945 you’re welcome. If you want a further update, between yesterday and today I was wearing it out and I receive numerous compliments on it. Someone stopped me at the store to ask me what I was wearing and that’s never happened to me before. Take that how you will, I still recommend you go to the store and try it out before you buy it but if you want some compliments this might be a good buy.
Very masculine scent. When i first smelled this it was love at first sight 😂. This is now my all time favorite scent now. I hope they come with a elixir 😂
I wasn’t expecting the super bright initial spay after testing Explorer they are two different worlds and I find myself at home regretting not buying it but a $232 3.4oz bottle of Sauvage Elixir ate up my cologne budget.
I have smelled this before. The 1st time I smelled it was in 1986 or 1987! I missed it so much! Its got a magical dry down smell that I would describe it as a descretely sweet nut, with citric, spicy and green opening accords that I simply Love too! This scent means a lot to me and it caused me one positive emotional value that cones from the scent of Nootka EO.❤❤❤ thank you Montblanc!
For me, it's a mix of Santal 33 and Davidoff Good Life. I absolutely love it, especially the dry down, and I can still smell it the morning after. I sometimes combine it with Cool Water.
@@AbcDino843 Hey, what can I say everyone has a different nose. That's what I get Bro. If you think about it. Explorer Platinum's bottle looks very similar to Dunhill Icons bottle
Great 👍🏾 review Rebel, like I was telling you earlier a lot of people probably won’t like it. I think it’s great the Sage is very strong. The performance is good.
I got a sample from Mont Blanc, and I hated it. I love the original Explorer, felt indifferent towards Ultra Blue, but I can't stand this one. 😬 I guess we're all different. 😂
I got a sample of it. It’s nice, I wouldn’t buy it at retail it would need to be 45 or lower on a discounted. It be nice a gift imo for someone not into fragrances. Can use it as a work or casual scent
Got mine this week and I do enjoy the opening a lot. I actually get a cucumber / Gin Tonic vibe, which unfortunately fades away quickly and turns into yet another standard woody scent. Not a great projection and longevity, so unfortunately not a must-have and won't rebuy.
I ordered a bottle when it first came out and when I got it and had a wiff.. I thought I have something similar already and I knew straight away what that was and it is Prada Carbon.. Granted the explorer platinum opens up slightly different but after about 5 minutes they smell the same to me. I put it in the cupboard with the Prada the same day that it turned up and forgot all about.. because I don't actually like either of them!! But never mind with live and learn..🤨
I get Zero Platinum egoist, ( I swear it’s only because the name is platinum.) and very slight subtle hints and nuances of the best parts of Moncler. This explorer is Hyper versatile and easy to wear
I personally love the simplicity of this explorer. So far I like it best of all the flankers and even the OG. Very versatile. Very simple . This falls into that Swiss Army knife , does it all type vibe. I bought it blind bought it at the casino because it was the only thing they had in stock that I didn’t have at home. I had smelled it once at the mall over a year ago, could not remember what it smelled like, I just knew it wasn’t awful. I’m quite satisfied with my full retail purchase and have zero regrets. Versatile and easy to wear. It’s a win/win situation. I’ll keep it and rock it till the wheels fall off 🫶
@rottenrebels....hey that's an accurate review about this fragrance....honestly it's different from previous explorers but for me it pales in comparison to them.....still its a nice summer aromatic scent.....likeable but not WOW.....from Mont Blanc my favorites till date are legend night, explorer and starwalker.....hope they make legend night and starwalker much more intense in the future....may be a Parfum or Le Parfum would be amazing....what do you say?
Yeah I mentioned that in another comment here. a Legend Night Parfum would be fun to see if it's as good as the original legend night. That was one of my favorites from Mont Blanc!
Nowadays there are so many fragrances. Most designer fragrances available in stores have probably been recommended to you in one of these videos. Because of that, this probably is not something you should get. Maybe if you try it and love it but for most people there are better options at a similar price
My very first impression the first time I smelled this... I said, "Interesting"... I couldn't stop smelling it because it's so different and just interesting. However, I don't know if I'd wear it. You will stand out with this... but it just isn't me. I thought I smelled some coconut in there as well. It can be a bit challenging. It's just different. I don't hate it, I don't love it either. It's pleasant but again, just not for me.... It almost seems like something I would quickly spray in a room but just not on me.
Armani Code EDP is probably slightly more mass appealing and a bit more attractive. Y le parfum is a nice one as well though. Two different scent profiles though so go with the one you enjoy the most! 👍Don't worry about the likeability factor as both are quite mass appealing and attractive. 😊 But Armani Code EDP has that thing that A LOT of people just love getting a whiff of.
@@BenniBlanco507I think I like the smell of le parfum a bit more. But out of all date night scents, these are my 2 favorite so it’s hard to decide haha
Rotten should i get vesage dylan blue or rasasi hawas or cdim help me ! Im 17 years its my first fragrance i want smell good and sexy which one should i get?
I think they are all great scents👍 i often recommend hawas as a sweet and fresh summer fragrance. And check all my videos with cdnim.. love the 3 of them. I think you should go with the one you enjoy the most. Which is your favorite?
I have decant of this. It's a so so fragrance. It's good, not a bad fragrance. But if I'm going to categorize this fragrance, I'll put it in the Common scent side. Not the WOW side. So...... I think I'll pass from buying a full bottle.
@@DRfragrancemadness693 Thanks for sharing!! I've worn it a few times after my first impressions of it: th-cam.com/video/pDuatlrT0m4/w-d-xo.html I feel the same about it 😊 Will try it again in a month or two and see how I feel
@@rottenrebels Watched your video. You are very much on point. Thanks for sharing. I think tonic is the weakest one of all 4 azzaros in that line. Smells like any other blue scent , super generic and does not last. Love the bottle though !
This fragrance smells like a young man of the early 90s on holidays at a ski resort, with his girlfriend ready to meet with the other friends at the hotel bar
What do you think of the new Montblanc Explorer Platinum? Absolutely fantastic or boring? Like the video (thank you so much) and Comment! 😊
Brought it find it good enough.I did get a small discount.I won't buy it again tho as i prefer the original Explorer.

And how does clary sage smell?

Maybe they could add Geranium,Black Pepper and Juniper Berries to it.
Seems like if you have a decent-sized collection, there is no need for this one. Thanks for the review!
I think so yes. 😊
Unless a very aromatic scent of this kind is what someone absolutely loves of course.
