Explorer Montblanc 2019

Not quite. Let's put this into perspective. It's the nephew.
After my quite sensational comment to Aventus now one to a supposed clone. Of course I also had to buy a sample here (thanks Kitho!)- the Explorer is on everyone's lips at the moment.
I was analytical this time. Open the vaporizer. Hmm, I don't smell anything - so I had to use the kitchen roll. Paper sprayed. Uh joa he's male. Something fresh Annanassiges comes towards me and a lot of spicy/ peppery. Good, good, good. Rehearsal put aside and first made sport. I must say that I have three scents on different. I sprayed some cloths and they were all in my kitchen. While I was doing my training a small gust of wind came towards me again and again and it smelled a lot like Explorer. The other two scents didn't reach my nose at all (were Atkinson's samples). There was already a certain polarizing effect clear to me. It dominates the room or has a proper sillage. Well - showered and then I just tried it out. Sprayed - 4 whole sprays and off to the dentist. In the car, I permanently smelled myself. It wasn't unpleasant. I had a mental battle with the pineapple (I still don't like it) in combination with the male dominant undertone that comes strongly from the ambroxan (vetiver, pepper, patchouli and akigalawood). I don't notice anything about the leather.
Neija off to the ZA. The dental nurse was taken with my perfume. I have never experienced this before, but also an interesting experience....
i'm going home. Odour absorption: still smells like in the beginning ;).
Update: 9 hours later and I can still smell myself. The durability is therefore already on an extreme level.
But when I arrived home I couldn't help but put the Aventus on my right arm and the Explorer on my left arm. Direct comparison:
Aventus: not sweet, rather fresh, help the pineapple is there and there comes musk. I still don't like him :(. Too old, too heavy...
Explorer: sweeter than Aventus, fresh pineapple, the Vetiver plays stronger here and the Ambroxan does its best. It is brighter and sweeter but in the head very similar to Aventus.
It becomes clearer in the drydown. Explorer remains sweeter, fresher and has no perceptible smoke/leather note for me. There is more synthetics involved here than with Aventus. When I then look at the PLV I don't have to say much more. I will soon use Explorer as my bottle.
Test yourself - if you don't like Aventus, you might like it here.
