      Agree the First year of Creed Aventus was amazing with nuclear staying power the smell was potent had more of a pineapple smoke smell fast forward 2021 and 2022 both bottles have been disappointed both my wife and daughter and my self don't like the smell sad I don't even use the creed aventus collection dust.

      Your missing the point .. he’s saying that Mont Blanc performs worst than the worst batch of Creed , and I agree the projection and spillage on Mont Blanc is mediocre at best. That’s why he suggested to wait until it gets to discounters so you can pay $30. -$40 instead of $90 at retail. Because it’s definitely without a doubt not worth $90.

    I love Explorer as one I keep with me at all times. Not worried if it breaks or gets lost, but so handy when I'm wanting to get a fresh scent cloud on me after a long day of work or gym or doing something outside. For the price it smells great and versatile for those of us on the move. I have nicer colognes for other situations, but those stay at home. Mont Blanc Explorer goes with me everywhere.

    Update:
    After a week of Mont blanc Explorer, here is my impressions.
    "Here it is Gents! This scent puts away any craving to spend $300 plus dollars on Aventus Creed. Mont blanc Explorer is even a better version of this genre scent. Only mistake ive made is to buy the $60 one ounce and not the $90 three ounce. That will soon be corrected."

      Yes. I sampled aventus at my nordstrom on my skin, and before that i went to sephora and sampled explorer. It wasn't until i got home that i noticed the near identical scent of them both. The dry down of explorer matches and even exceeds the aroma of aventus!!! I was shocked. And explorer absolutely destroyed aventus in it's longevity, it is a literal beast. Would choose explorer over aventus any day, the quality for its price point is almost unbeatable.

      Legend EDP is the best I've smelt of theirs, but Mont Blanc have some of the most basic and boring bottles, ALL are black and white patterned after their ridiculously expensive pens 😆(their main expertise). I used to work for a co. that sold them and other designer brands. Basically they're not even trying to be unique or different, just monitizing their brand in fragrance. At least with other companies like clothing companies they take chances with more potent frags and bottle designs!

    My fellow fragrance heads, hear me out... give this fragrance a try when you can. You won’t be disappointed.
    I went into Sephora with my girlfriend today, and at the suggestion of a sales associate, she recommended I try Explorer (I had NO idea this was getting compared to Aventus), and immediately on 1st whiff, I thought to myself, “Wow. That is literally Aventus, for less than 1/4 of the price.”
    Girlfriend smelled it on my wrist, and she loved it instantly. She literally said, “PLEASE add this to your collection. Or let me get this for you for Christmas”. She couldn’t get enough of it.
    Honestly, Creed needs to come out with something new. Because for a designer scent to be THIS close to Aventus, and to garner such a reaction from my girlfriend, why spend over 5x the price of Explorer to get a bottle of Aventus..? Honestly, I think I’m done buying it.
    Definitely adding Explorer to my wishlist.

    • @Wize817
      @Wize817 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because it doesn't last! 😆 Everyone liking Explorer is just wishful thinking to save $$$, but this video and others proves its not even close after the first hour its GONE (sign of low grade). I tested 15 Top Designer Colognes on test strips and smelled right after and day/s later. Explorer was the worst, very weak performance and projection, not unique, it ranked at the bottom for me. You get what you pay for. At least CDNIM clone is closer to the real deal and LASTS.

    Its totally different cologne, no smokiness and no harsh chemical sweet sour sparkle that comes from pineapple, its more toned down rounded and overall pleasant, those who are not a fan of Aventus could possibly actually like/love this.

    Aventus has a bit of a designer vibe itself, a good designer but still. This sounds like it might be worth trying and potential buy discounted. Not for me given I have Aventus but I can see why they would make something in the same style for a mass market.

    Picked up a sample of this today after smelling it on a tester. I haven't worn it yet, but I definitely smell the woody, peppery scent you're describing just from where some got on my fingers. That aspect of this fragrance smells like so many other fragrances on the counter. Maybe it's also the Ambroxin like you're mentioning. I'll wear it tomorrow and see how it goes for a full wear.

    • @DocBizzle
      @DocBizzle 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So right out of the gate, when first sprayed (and ONLY when very first spray) I smell some sweet pineapple. But it goes away literally immediately. Then what's left is that dark leather peppery smell like every other cologne out there. Maybe if I were spraying it on clothes it would maintain the little bit of sweet to compliment the other notes. But for me wearing it on skin it just doesn't :( I'm sad.

    This must be the one and only review one needs to watch for Montblanc Explorer, chapeau ! I had a bottle, sold it because I was not using it at all, then I got a 2021 Aventus which was meh and sold it too. Now I will just give up on the Aventus DNA and get over it.

    But yesterday I tried it on at the mall, without any other fragrances on, and I absolutely love it. It's way better than CDNIM. And 18 hours later I still smell it on my skin.

    @collectiblesource3902 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I actually completely disagree. I think it smells great. I got my bottle for free so I'm not saying I went out and spent a dime on it but I got compliments multiple times wearing it. I would say you're accurate when you said wear time is about 3-4 hours but I don't mind respraying if I get as much attention as I do with a good fragrance. I'd pick this up if I wanted something similar to Aventus which is just a special occasion fragrance for me, as 450 a bottle is pretty steep. I'd use this as a daily, that's just my opinion though.

    Nice loophole on the New year's resolution! You need to remember that listed notes are NOT a recipe/formula, merely an idealized idea for the consumer (unless you're dealing in true naturals) so as always the 👃 knows best. I also believe it's really unfair to compare a new pillar designer scent to an iconic niche/luxe release. Thanks for your assistance always totally thorough and down-to-earth synopsis. Also I wish you dabbled more in artisan natural and indie perfumes. Smell swell & be well, my fragrant friend! J xox 😎

      @GentsScents  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm fully aware that note breakdowns are not the full make up of a fragrance. That being said, there is no discernible vanilla, birch, musk, rose or "pineapple" in Explorer. It's very heavy on ambroxan & akigalawood through to the dry down. I actually own a large number of indie fragrances and a number of natural ones as well. I'm trying to get around to reviewing them more often so they'll eventually make their way on to the channel.
