I love the quality of the Montblanc Explorer Aroma, smells super rich 🔥 8 to 9 hours.
Tested at El Corte Inglés: opens like the regular Explorer but with a spicy touch. Over time, the bergamot stays present and the leather and amber emerge. In the end, it smells like soft leather and a beautiful amber. Lasts longer than the other since it’s a parfum. Better for summer nights or neutral climates; with heat, it needs to be stifling.
98% identical to Lattafa Raed Silver, very, very similar.
Reminds me of Sauvage Elixir but perfect for everyday wear.
The troll didn’t have to wait long to vote for the Dora and boots smell 🤣
Tested on skin. It smells a lot like Sauvage Elixir but in a lighter version. If you like Dior and are looking for something less heavy and more affordable, you’ll love it. If you’re looking for an intense Explorer version, this isn’t for you.
Tested at El Corte Inglés: smells like the regular Explorer but with a spicier touch. Over time, the bergamot holds up and the leather and amber start to bloom. In the end, it leaves a scent of soft leather with a rich amber. Lasts quite a bit longer than the other since it’s a concentrated perfume. Better for summer nights or neutral climates; with heat, it needs to be stifling.
First application on skin, not a full review, just hot impressions. The opening has a luminous and dense bergamot, similar to the EDP, but it lasts only seconds; immediately, patchouli takes over. It’s a green, earthy patchouli, well-integrated with a soft leather base that gives elegance without being too mature. As it dries down, the patchouli lowers and the leather becomes more present, though without much intensity. Performance is notable: it’s an extract, and you can tell. I’ve worn it for over 10 hours, and it’s still perceptible on the skin. Projection deceives at first with the bergamot, but then the fragrance becomes intimate. When to use it? It’s perfect for the office or professional environments, any time of year except extreme heat, where it might feel heavy. It’s not for standing out, but for accompanying with discretion and elegance.
I agree with the others; it’s a ‘calmed down’ Sauvage Elixir, more wearable and slightly ‘fresher’. It doesn’t seem very projecting, but I admit it lasted more than 10 hours on my skin. If you like this DNA and are looking for something more usable, it’s a very good option.
Very much in line with Sauvage Elixir. Quite simpler than the first batch and with that vomit-like smell I associate with it that bothers me. Not as blatant as in Asad, but it’s there. It doesn’t perform terribly.
Montblanc Explorer Extreme: after several uses, my opinions. Montblanc knows how to do good presentation; the bottle is elegant, stylized, and gives a sense of quality without exaggeration. Clean lines, pleasant texture. From the opening, a bright and vibrant bergamot, super refreshing, energy, and sparkle. Then it dries down to woody and earthy terrain, semi-rustic woods with notable patchouli. It’s masculine and grounded, without trying too hard. There’s amber, but no sweetness; nothing gourmand, no sugar or honey. It stays dry, elegant, and clean. Leather note? Surprisingly soft; I normally avoid leather, but this one is soft and not aggressive, a good intro for those who avoid it. Fragrance for the modern gentleman: office, business travel, or dinner. Versatile and good for all seasons. It’s not a beast in projection, but it delivers. It lasts several days on clothes. If you like Sauvage Elixir but want something more wearable and moderate, it’s worth it. It feels mature, soft, and easy to use. It’s not revolutionary, but a good launch. Rating: 8/10 – Elegant, versatile, and wearable.
Review after several days: the presentation is elegant and commanding; the bottle is simple but impactful. Performance stands out: at 8 hours, it’s still noticeable on the skin, and the sillage is good; a person a meter away can smell it without issues. 8 sprays max is enough. The scent is quite masculine, according to my partner. The leather isn’t very noticeable; it smells quite green, like a forest, which isn’t bad, it’s good. It retains about 30% of the original Explorer DNA; I still feel that pineapple, but nothing fresh, now more toasted. It’s a more masculine and dark Explorer. I’d use it for dates or closed circles; it’s not a bomb noticeable from afar, but whoever is with you will feel it. It’s not for parties or relaxed sweatpants; something more refined, perhaps for studying or working. It might get tiring if overused, but generally, it’s quite good. Rating: 8.6/10.
Montblanc Explorer Extreme was more than I expected. I thought it would evolve like Nishane Hacivat, but it was impactful: no fruit or accessible sweetness. Here, dark patchouli, a sparkling woody base, black leather, and an undeclared star player—ambroxan—take the lead, along with an intense green note and a barely perceptible bergamot. My mind goes straight to Sauvage Elixir: it’s not a clone, but they share structure, power, and density. Compared to the original EDP, this is the opposite: polarizing, risky, and adult. One aims to please, the other to make a statement. On skin, it’s a beast, projecting for hours and filling rooms. It’s noticeable more from the outside than by the wearer, potentially causing olfactory fatigue. It’s not for everyone; ideal for mature people or young ones who want to stand out. It works better in the cold, though its structure allows occasional use in heat. I wouldn’t recommend it blindly; it’s intense, but if you’re looking for character and a dark profile, it’s one of the most interesting launches.
It’s not an intense version of Explorer, nor do they resemble each other at all. It smells great and has good performance, but it’s a very mature, serious scent with a character that marks territory; it could be overwhelming if overused. On my skin, it’s a rough patchouli sweetened by amber, with touches of ‘old school’ barbering and a leather base. I see it for cold climates, elegant outfits, and freshly shaved, in full gentleman mode. It’s a good perfume, but you should try it before buying.
It’s a bold, masculine fragrance with a strong presence and longevity. If you like leathery, amber, and dense profiles, it’s a solid option at an accessible price. It doesn’t aim to be elegant or sweet, but rather powerful and decisive. Don’t compare it to the original Explorer or Absolu de Aventus: here, dark leather and ambroxan rule, not fruit or light freshness. Yes, it’s inspired by Sauvage Elixir, but it’s much more appealing to the general public.
Just received, it smells like Sauvage Elixir but with higher-quality ingredients. While the Elixir comes out heavy on spices and dark, this Montblanc is more citrusy and fresh, with fewer spices, making it more wearable and versatile. That citrus opening makes it usable year-round, except in extreme summer heat. If you can’t spend what the Elixir costs, this Montblanc is a very, very good alternative. I’m pleasantly surprised. Edit 1: At 4 hours, while the Elixir was roaring like a lion, this Extreme seemed like a cute kitten meowing, but both are related felines.
Explorer Extreme is woody, spicy, and leathery. The first minutes are fresh, with the DNA of the original (similar to Aventus), but it fades in less than 10 minutes before darkening into leather and amber. By the two-hour mark, the spices and a very noticeable licorice note (even though it’s not on the list) combined with patchouli, amber, and leather explain why many buy it alongside Sauvage Elixir. This version is the elegant or nighttime take on the original, which is super versatile; the Extreme is more for outings or events, not daily use, and it’s less invasive than the Elixir. Longevity is excellent, up to 10 hours, with a trail slightly above average. So far, I think it’s the fragrance I’ve liked most from the 2025 launches. It’s not unique or original, nor the most daring, but I like its scent and want it in my collection.
Explorer Extreme is woody, spicy, and leathery. In the first few minutes, it’s fresh and carries the DNA of the original Explorer (similar to Aventus), but it fades in under 10 minutes before darkening into leather and amber. By the two-hour mark, the spices and a very noticeable licorice note (even though it’s not listed) combined with patchouli and amber make it a direct rival to Sauvage Elixir. It’s the elegant or nighttime version of the original, better suited for special occasions than daily wear; compared to the Elixir, it’s less aggressive. The longevity is excellent, lasting up to 10 hours with good sillage. It’s one of my favorites from the 2025 launches: it’s not unique or the most groundbreaking, but I love the scent and want it in my collection.
When I tested it in the store, it was just a ‘I like it.’ Now that I own it and have tested it thoroughly, it has become a ‘I love it.’ At first, it seems to want to grab from several sides: citrusy, slightly sweet, slightly spicy; but once it dries down… oh boy!… it becomes spicy in the style of Sauvage Elixir or Boss Bottled Elixir, but a slightly more versatile version. Honestly, I’m enjoying it.
At first, testing it in-store was just a ‘like’, but now that I wear it and have tested it thoroughly, it’s a ‘love’. At first, it seems to grab from multiple angles: citrus, slightly sweet, slightly spicy; but once it dries… oh boy!… it becomes spicy like Sauvage Elixir or Boss Bottled Elixir, but a bit more versatile. Honestly, I’m enjoying it.
A light pop version of Dior Sauvage Elixir with water, alcohol, and 20% of the original Montblanc Explorer father, adding a soft but present leather note that brings maturity. I don’t know where some people get the idea that this is very similar to Creed Aventus Absolu and its clones. Opinions are like noses; for them, whatever. To bring a novelty in 2025, Montblanc commissioned Jordi Fernández and Antoine Maisondieu for a new Explorer. They wanted it as successful and mass-appealing as before, but more mature, serious, long-lasting, nocturnal, winter-appropriate, seductive, and elegant. What was the most successful and way-cool fragrance? Dior Sauvage Elixir. Then its cousin Gissada Ambassador Intense. To the point: Does it smell good? Damn well. Smells like an unisex yellowed scent? No, it smells like a guy over 30. I see a trend among pretentious kids and ‘pajama’ teens, from 4th graders to post-adolescents, lighting up scents like this or Dior Homme, Givenchy Gentleman Parfum, classic Guerlains, or Terre D’Hermès as if they were Police or Diesel, or the Rabanne, JPG Le Beau, Versace Eros, or CH Bad Boy sagas. That gives me a certain grimace. Watch out, it might be the same if a 70-80-year-old man dressed up smells like this on young people or if an Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum is worn by youth. Don’t misunderstand me, total freedom, everyone with their money and body does what they want. Price? Quite content compared to the Rabannes, Jean Paul Gaultier, YSL, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, Dior… Versatility? Not much, it asks for temperate or fresh weather, night-time, and certain elegance (without overdoing it, but it doesn’t look good with Sunday gym wear, the gym roll, or vacation bermudas). Originality? Not much, as is usual with Montblanc (they’re going to sell and that’s it, no inventing or trying). Anyway, with the constant copycatting in designer fragrances, I see it as having a rather ‘unique’ aroma, especially compared to the original Explorer which was a blatant and light clone of Aventus. Longevity and performance: Very good, 6-7 hours on skin (drops significantly by the 3rd-4th hour, and if you want to notice it again without smelling like a bloodhound, you have to reapply). Not bad at all for current designer perfumery, with 3-4 hour durations at niche prices, without being a biblical curse like Dior Sauvage Elixir or Gissada, which last longer than a curse.
It’s the light and pop version of Dior Sauvage Elixir, with a mix of water, alcohol, and 20% of the original Montblanc Explorer, adding a soft but present leather note that gives it maturity. I don’t understand why some say it smells a lot like Creed Aventus Absolu or its cheap clones. For opinions, everyone has their own nose. To launch something new in 2025, Montblanc bosses hired Jordi Fernández and Antoine Maisondieu for a new Explorer: they wanted something as sold and loved as the first, but more serious, long-lasting, nighttime, winter, and elegant. What a surprise! Which has been the most successful and ‘wayquemola’ fragrance of recent years? Dior Sauvage Elixir and its cousin, Gissada Ambassador Intense. To the point: does it smell good? Damn right it does. Yellowish unisex smell? No, this smells like a 30-something guy. I see a trend among ‘fashionistas’ and ‘preppy kids’, from 4th-grade teens to post-adolescents, using things like these or Dior Homme, Givenchy Gentleman Parfum, classic Guerlains, or Terre d’Hermès as if they were Police, Diesel, Rabanne Invictus, One Million, CH Bad Boy, Versace Eros, or JPG Le Beau. That gives me a certain grimace. Mind you, it would be the same if a 70-80-year-old man dressed up smelled like this on young people, or if an Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum did. Don’t get me wrong: total freedom, everyone with their money and body can do what they want. Price? Quite a lot of content compared to Rabannes, JPG, YSL, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, Dior… Versatility? Not much, it asks for temperate or fresh weather, nighttime, and certain elegance (without going overboard, but it doesn’t look good with Sunday sweatpants, gym vibes, or swim trunks). Originality? Not much, as is usual with Montblanc (they just want to sell and move on, no inventing or trying). Anyway, with the constant copycat behavior in designer perfumes without shame, I see it as quite ‘unique’, especially compared to the original Explorer which was a shameless Aventus clone. Longevity and performance: very good, 6-7h on skin (by the 3rd-4th hour it drops significantly, and if you want to make it noticeable again without smelling like a bloodhound, you have to reapply). Not bad at all for current designer perfumery, with 3-4h durations at niche prices, without being a monster like Sauvage Elixir or Gissada that last longer than a biblical curse.
Like his younger father, the new EXPLORER was born with the curse of similarities. This time, not just with Creed Aventus, but it even reached Dior Sauvage Elixir and Aventus Absolu. I suppose it was simple deduction or a rule of three. In my case, it has all the DNA of Explorer EDP but improved. It results in a charming evening fragrance, finer, inviting, challenging, long-lasting, and with better projection. A flanker that finds its own path, and I predict huge success. A tribute to Olivier Pescheux, who couldn’t collaborate due to his passing in 2023, leaving us a wonderful legacy. Try it, buy it, and enjoy it.
I’ve seen many people interpret this as something ‘mature,’ for over 30s or semi-formal for young people; not at all. It’s literally ‘I’m 20/30 and want to smell mature, but not old.’ It’s a very normative scent, not innovative. It’s the mythical woody scent with a bit of spice that has been abundant in Spain for a century. Is it a problem? Yes. It smells great, it’s not overwhelming (though if you’re the type to spray 10 times so you don’t have to shower, then yes, it’s annoying). People will smell it on you; they might love it. But… It. Is. Very. Basic. It adds nothing new, it’s simple and repetitive. I don’t see it as good outside of a staple for daily life. It’s around 60-70 euros. If you don’t want to spend much and smell good, buy it. If you’re young, have fewer resources, and want something similar to Dior Sauvage (not the same, but with the same vibe), buy the 30 or 60 ml bottles. Do you want to smell good like a ‘man’ without spending a fortune? Try a little harder. If not, this is quite good. In summary: if you have money, buy something with personality. This perfume is great, but it’s flat as a pancake. P.S.: They say it’s worn in summer… yes, to stink. It’s not a scent that matches the heat. The moment you sweat, no one will want to get close (you’ll smell like the typical guy in a long-sleeve shirt in Málaga at 40 degrees smoking). I see it as a very good option for late autumn and great for winter.
The initial spray is citrusy, fruity, and sweet, but it lasts only a breath. It quickly shifts to patchouli, vetiver, amber, suede, and ambroxan. The resemblance to Dior Sauvage Elixir is undeniable, but here you only get the fougère barbershop side; it lacks that creamy vanilla drydown. The drydown is almost woody with a soft green note. It’s a masculine fragrance that’s old-school yet modern thanks to the prominent ambroxan. It’s not groundbreaking, but it goes against the grain. Its profile makes it unsuitable for warm climates and demands appropriate attire; it doesn’t work with summer or sporty outfits unless you enjoy dulce de leche with chorizo. A very correct fragrance.
Rich opening, interesting, similar to the daughter but sweeter. As it dries down, it becomes even more interesting; it gave me nostalgia because it smells like a gold deodorant I used to have. Its base notes are leather and moss. Super masculine. Approved.
Wild!
I’d sum it all up with one word: EXCELLENT. This fragrance lacks nothing, top-tier scent, projection and longevity are off the charts, compliments at every turn, simply EXCELLENT.
In short: EXCELLENT. This fragrance lacks nothing. Excellent aroma, excellent projection, excellent longevity, and compliments from every corner. Simply EXCELLENT.
I feel like I’m going to go through this bottle quickly this winter. If you’re on the fence about buying it, just do it without hesitation. Great purchase.
Montblanc hits the mark again! Their latest collections are on another level. I was expecting something like Creed Aventus Absolut, but it evolves differently. Very elegant with a refined touch that puts it in a top tier. Perfect for formal wear or business casual. Enjoy this well-crafted fragrance.
