Emblem Intense

This has been my only fragrance for around 5 years, after I picked it up from a duty free in Qatar airport. I used it all year round and I always got good sillage and medium longevity, maybe in winter it did a little better but it was in no way a poor performer in warm weather. Its fruity scent with just the right amount of sweetness and freshness has been my trusted buddy in various climates over the years and has never let me down. I wore this scent in the cold and warm days of eastern Europe, in the tropical melanesian climate of Vanuatu and in the winter days in Nanjing, China. The fragrance went bad after about 5 years, I could no longer smell the top and some of the middle notes and it stopped projecting like it used to. But after this long amount of time since the first spray, there is nothing bad to say about it, especially since it was down to the last few millilitres when it happened. Thinking back, this has been all I needed to smell nice a few years back. Now I've hoarded all these 100 ml bottles of fragrances that I will never get the chance to wear out before they go bad and I'm not smelling much better than I used to when it was just me and this trusted buddy of mine. What a silly game I got myself into!

I was at the shop, and that night I tried Lolita Lempicka and this one. At the beginning I like Lolita Lempicka better, but then I felt that strong anise smell, and everything stopped there. I don't like anise at all. Then I tested these one, looking to get rid of the anise smell. I liked it. I did`t think it for long enough and I purchased a bottle of this nice scent. It is nice, but next day I felt kind of regretful, because it is a really good smell, but I don`t find it as elegant as the Mont blanc's Legend scents, which I really like. I smelled it many times trying to justify the money payed. So, did it worth it? In my opinion no. Do I enjoy it? I couldn't say no either. Definitely it is way much nicer when it dries down. It projects rather good. You can feel the lemon, a touch of sweetness and grape or something. Nice, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Montblanc Emblem Intense is a really excellent fragrance indeed. Montblanc is one of my favourite houses and the Emblem line are my favourite in the house. However, Intense is for me personally has the edge over the Black original and Absolute. I say orginal but they all came out at the same day I believe, and Intense I use far more then the other two which are also excellent fragrances. I really love this one and for me longevity is good, and projection is average around arms length. It's a compliment getting and I have hesitation no to claim Intense as my signature scent. A really beautiful smelling fragrance that I highly recommend. A must have in a fragrance collection!

2nd comment, How can this be better than average on longevity and projection and others say performance is really bad? Well one can be skin chemistry, but those who spray on clothes and says it does not last, this has to be a counterfeit or just a bad batch. I have gotten burnt 2X buying colognes, some are so close you could not tell from the packaging but it was obvious when it came to the juice. Even some of the cheapest legit colognes last more than 20-30 minutes. I would say to those who are experience poor performance you may want to switch buying resources. This Montblanc Emblem Intense performs well and is a pleasant well balanced scent.

This is almost a perfect fragrance for me as far as smell goes. It's sweet and it's fresh without being overbearing. It's very pleasant as far as smell goes. This for me is one of those fragrances that goes better on clothes if you want better longevity but smells great on my skin also. This could be anything from a gym scent to a date night scent. It's an all-around good fragrance for any occasion. I imagine women would like this and the bottle is really cool as well. This is a great blind buy if you like sweeter men's fragrances.

I just received my bottle of Montblanc Emblem Intense in the mail and it was a blind buy, I would say a successful blind buy because I like the scent profile. It's fruity and pleasant in the opening and not overbearing but I want to give it some full wearing to really appreciate it and gauge its performance and longevity. Brb my frag friends. :) “Let's spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world that will cost you nothing and will get you a totally different kind of compliments” 🙏

I only purchased this after carefully trying out the original Emblem and its 2 flankers. In my opinion, this is the best of the lot. Emblem was just OK while Emblem Absolu smelled a bit too sweet, Emblem Intense is really great if you want something different to use during fall and winter. It smells fruity, fresh and lively, nothing like the stereotypical winter scents. The silver bottle complements this product well. Definitely my 2nd favourite Montblanc fragrance after the gorgeous Starwalker.

Great fragrance. yes, it does have that mass appealing clean/metalic accord to it. but the sweetness from the fruits and the rose balance it out very nicely. and for anyone wondering the rose doesn't come off as a strong rosey note, it just provides a sweetness with the tonka bean. I also smell a fresh cucumber-like note, which adds a bit of uniqueness to this mass appealing DNA. Emblem intense makes a great everyday fragrance.

Amazing scent, a prominent and very nice fruity apple note but not too sweet. Also a nice spicy, cinnamon. When it's dried down it almost reminds me of an apple and cinnamon pie with a side of eggnog but not too heavy, you could get away with a couple spays of this stuff in warm weather and it wouldn't offend anyone. I got a great deal on 60ml bottle for $15 shipped, but you can find it easily for about $25. 8/10

This fragrance is so good! even now after many many years it is still signature worthy. I use it during summer, though i am mostly indoors. it smells really classy, it projects pretty well and for me it does last! This is already my second bottle, i do think the first batch was a little more potent but this new batch which i got is no slouch either. scent is 10/10 overall this fragrance is 9/10 cheers!

Montblanc can go in many directions, most of their colognes all smell good to awesome but some last better and project better, this one smells great and has better than average performance. Emblem Intense is good for any occasion or time of the year, to me it even has a slight resemblance to Acqua di Gio. Not exactly the same but similar. You could blind buy this and really not be disappointed.

cinnamon upfront for me, with smokey and rosey notes, maybe hints of apple or similar sour fruits as described here, with more time passing the cinnamon and sourness starts fading, giving way to the flowers and really pleasant sweetness, definitely dig this enough to consider buying a full bottle. masculine through and through but soft enough to not scream of pure testosterone

Had this on my hand for about 6 hours now and it still is strong, i was unsure of what i would feel about this as i love the original. They do share some similarities but this one is more metallic and the other is more sweet, but i cant stop myself from smelling it, i do like this fragrance, sure thers better out there but i think this one is underrated, at least try it..

I have been a big fan of Mont Blanc fragrances, in particular the legend line so I gave this one a chance as a blind buy. it was a great choice. If this is what the Emblem line is like, I am going to collect all three. The price is amazing! Great quality for even a higher price. Great blind buy! The only drawback is that it doesn't last as long as the legend line does.

It's really good. I bought because I like Montblanc perfumes and this is awesome. It has some different opening notes to it depending on the time of year and climate. It has some metallic sense in first but also fresh, fruity, sweet and warm in the same time. Like this a lot.

This is definitely a strong party fragrance and something that will get you noticed just like Emblem and Emblem Absolu. This has great projection like the other two flankers and really smells great plus the bottle is awesome! I give this a 9.4/10

ah yes that edt that makes my transmasc euphoria go absolutely wild. fresh, spicy, masculine and strong. generic but not too generic, there are some very unique facets in this. all year, all day.

Hot tip: Al Ibdaa Silver by Ard Al Zaafaran is a super close and budget friendly clone of this fragrance and it smells divine on my Hubby. Picked it up for $24 AUD from Perfumes Dubai.

Just got this one a couple days. It's great and very long lasting. Reminds me of original Paco XS.

I've written a review on the OG black flanker. The thing is even it's the same family and therefore similar scents, this is like an older, more mature brother, furthermore, there are noticeable differences. First of all, I like the opening of this much more than the Emblem. I don't know what gives it, either the new rose accord(I can't detect it though) or the apple, whatever it is, makes it much better. Another thing is it's even spicier. When a fragrance has cinnamon and cardamom together, it usually gives spice market or gourmand, Christmas-like festive pastry feeling. This is rather far from that. Emblem Intense is a manly, spicy-aromatic perfume for preferrably autumn and winter weather. It's not fouguere (you should really do a research about what it means), but it's masculine. Maybe not a polarising bomb, seductive and (pardon my French) a 'panty-dropper", not at all, but does its job as much as it offers. Brilliant execution. May not put a smile on a connoisseur's face, but won't make him mad either. The bottle is nicer as well. Plus, it has the same astonishing, noteworthy pulverising sprayer. You need to keep this quite a distance away from yourself to see the effect. This also blends seamlessly when layering with its younger sibling. Together they perform quite remarkably as a twin duo. Lastly, I've been seeing discontinuation complaints about it a lot, and it says "it was last marketed"on other platforms too, so I will try to have at least one backup whenever I can.
