Explorer Ultra Blue

Rating : 8.5 / 10 Price : good Fragrance journey is truely subjective and I mean it. I was gasligted by so many influencers and folks, not to try Ultra Blue at all. I regret listening to 'em so much. My goodness this is my gem!! I wonder if folks ever actually tried this with there nose This is now my official office no.1 fragrance period. it's so manly it feels clean, gentleman-ish, inoffensive. Defintely get the marine vibe. Man, Montblanc makes some good stuffs It opens with zingy bergamot, sweet but zesty and then as it dries down I get this super gentle toned down "blue-ish" vibe must be the patchouli and leather playing a role and then sea notes sits together with woods and all together it's just soooo good I don't know where does generic even come from If the seanote is generic, almost all sweet fragrances should also be generic, simply by its numbers and how much mass produced and boringly cloying they are. God, these folks pulling out words that just doesn't even have any significance It's not bold but that's the point. Some colognes should be inoffensive and generic enough to be worn. well everyone has different point of view so I'll stop here. but there's no reason to be hated this much at all. Like, for what? Sometimes not listening to the others rather rewards you back.

I love this fragrance. To me it's like the more mature blue sport fragrance . To me it has the top notes of sport marine, a bright but not too strong bergamot. I do get a slight exotic fruit light time but it's all packed with a strong punch of pink pepper . It all melts into a blue sea marine bubble that sits for the length of the fragrance. It all gets driven by a very light woodsy and pachouli scent. I don't get the leather notes . But I guess I can kinda see how some might. But anyone that tried this do not expect any type of a leather scents . If you start to sweat a bit with this on it really intensifies and makes it smell even better. Only thing I regret is not purchasing a bigger bottle. It's a very good value too. I got the 2oz a year ago for $27 and now I'm seeing the 3.3oz is $34 on jomashop.

I have a few other Mont Blanc scents and absolutely love them, so when I first saw the 3.3 rating on this I was surprised and wondered why. Because of the rating, I avoided getting it for a while. Then I saw a bottle of it at one of my regular discounter stores for $24 so I got it. I can tell you 3.3 rating is savagely harsh. I think people who rated it this low either didn't smell it, dont like blue fragrances to begin with, or they can't think for themselves and they let the score influence their decision. It's quite crisp, definitely blue, and it doesn't have any noxious notes in it that have caused me to return fragrances before. It has a Nautica vibe to it, but whereas if you wore Nautica in your teens into your twenties, this is the more mature version. Glad I got it.

I love this fragrance! It's the first cologne I've tried with a "Sea Notes" accord that I actually enjoy. Explorer Ultra Blue features this accord without the "Calone" note. Instead of citrus, I get more fruitiness from the "Exotic Fruits" note, which is great for me since I don’t particularly like citrus scents. I also appreciate that the Ambroxan in this cologne is more tolerable compared to other fragrances containing Ambroxan. I can detect all of the base notes, and the leather note is not animalic, which I find pleasing. I believe this scent is versatile enough to be worn year-round during the day. Currently, I experience about 6 hours of longevity, and I hope that improves over time.

First are there enough Blue’s on the market? Apparently not, so what, who cares....when something is popular and selling everyone’s going to jump on board it’s called fashion and some are trends and others are fads. Explorer Blue is Montblanc impression of a Blue, is it good, yes, is it and EDP, yes, is it totally unique somewhat. This is a decent release and sure it’s not a Bleu de Chanel, or Sauvauge and that’s ok, then it would be a clone. This has spice some sweetness and that fresh clean dry down, women like these kind of smells. So don’t always follow the crowd everyone is wearing Chanel and Dior, stand out and wear Explorer and by the way both are great in my opinion.
