Explorer Platinum
Explorer Platinum by Montblanc is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2023 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, clary sage and violet leaf, moves into leather and vetiver and dries down to patchouli and ambroxan. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
