Bought it when it was on sale before labour day weekend, then it becomes an excellent perfume for fall or indoor office/school setting which is around 16 to 24 degree celcius temperature

For the price point I won't be sticking to just evening wear. Super masculine scents with hints of sweet, not overpowering for an aftershave that lasts all day. Added to the rotation!

The scent is very woody and musky the packaging keeps the sample secure so that the bottle doesn't move and get broken. Over all the cologne is very nice and very versatile.

Tried a sample of this Montblanc fragrance, it smells amazing, rich, and sophisticated. It's definitely on the stronger side, so I feel it's better suited for cooler weather, especially in autumn or winter, rather than for summer wear.

I've been wearing this for the past few hours wow, it is good - outstanding. The opening is very misleading because the overriding and very strong impression of the immediate opening is coconut. That's not necessarily a bad thing - if you like coconut fragrances and, having tried Le Beau, I am not too keen. Within a few minutes however the coconut dries down to a resting state that exudes a complex but overall sweet spice. The coconut note is still there but now as a more floral and masculine violet. The wood note in the base rounds everything off in a masculine direction. It is an absolutely brilliant fragrance and partly because there is no mainstream or mass designer fragrance that is even close to similar in the dry down and after the opening coconut disappears . Explorer Platinum is definitely good for almost all age groups. I think this is because the sweetness is not extreme or predominant but is instead a subtle and refined set of spices. The biggest impression is of a light and clean smell that reminds me beach on a sunny day with with the sweetness being a cool cocktail. I think it is a great summer scent and certainly refreshingly - literally refreshingly - different to the citrus summer scents that have their place but which can become very boring. That said, the complex spice notes mean that I could just about wear this in winter. This is a wonderful scent.

Thanks to Influenster and Montblanc for this complimentary sample to test it out and give my honest opinion on the smell of this fragrance and the lasting. I did really like wearing Montblanc Explorer Platinum. The first spray hits with a fresh, slightly fruity vibe that feels really clean and energizing. After a little while, it softens into something greener and cooler, almost like walking through fresh air in the mountains, with a nice woody base that makes it feel grounded. What I like most is how easy it is to wear as it feels modern, confident, but not over the top. It lasts a good 6–7 hours on me, which is enough to get through the day without needing to reapply. Overall, it's a fresh, classy fragrance that stands out just enough without being too bold.

Montblanc Explorer Platinum really surprised me – the scent is fresh yet rich, with a modern masculine energy. It opens with a bright citrusy note that quickly blends into warm woody tones, leaving behind a refined and elegant trail. The fragrance is very versatile – perfect for the office during the day but also sophisticated enough for an evening out. Longevity is impressive for this category, and it feels like you only need a small amount. Even the sample packaging reflects the stylish Montblanc aesthetic. Texture is smooth and with nice smell for people around, a got few compliments.Overall, I think it offers great value for money if you're looking for something both everyday and premium.

It's a fresh, modern scent . The opening is really fresh with a clean, green vibe that feels uplifting, and as it settles I get more of that smooth cedarwood which gives it a nice masculine warmth. It's not overpowering, but people around me do notice it, especially in the first couple of hours. On my skin it lasts approx about 6 hours, and even longer on clothes, which is good enough for a full day at work. I find it versatile. It's perfect for the office, casual outings, or even an evening out.

Montblanc Explorer Platinum has just been added to my 'select few' collection. The first spray hits you with a burst of freshness and sweetness which great, as it's not too overpowering after a few minutes. As it settles, the cedar wood steps in, giving it a rich warm homely feeling which is pleasant throughout the day. It's fresh enough for daytime wear, yet has a depth that makes it work just as well in the evening. The real standout is how it lingers hours later where you'll still catch hints of it. A great choice if you like something modern, refined, and long lasting without being too heavy.

Packaging was standard for a tester fragrance. Nothing special about the texture of the box but I'm sure a full size one will have something a bit more special. The scent was very nice and one I'm considering buying. Not sure about value for money as it was a free sample from influenster. If priced well it would be a nice everyday wearer or one for special occasions.
