Explorer Montblanc 2019

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the similarity to the Creed Aventus, because I haven't had the chance to test it yet. A comparison with Sauvage? - Well. I have to admit that I have had a reaction a few times how good I smell of Dior Sauvage while wearing the Explorer. For an untrained nose, which unfortunately (because I also think the Sauvage is great) is flooded by the sauvage-bearing young men's world, also not reprehensible. There is a certain similarity.
The Explorer's entry is slightly fruity and pleasant, which, although it diminishes somewhat over time, makes the further fragrance progression - in the direction of sauvage - a little more playful and light. This is also the reason for me that the Explorer can definitely be worn during the day and on warmer days without leaving an "oppressive" smell.
Visually, the Montblanc Explorer bottle is definitely a real eye-catcher! Robust, simple and the imitation leather? makes a real statement, especially suitable if you like to wear black.
Durability and Sillage could be better, fragrance experience for me definitely a 10/10!

Concluding thought: Is it really that important whether a fragrance is possibly inspired by another or has been "copied"? For the perfumer, perhaps. I don't deny it. For me as a user? Definitely not! Because in the end we all want to wear perfumes that we like!
