The Aventus twin that is not worth mentioning
Mountblanc Explorer:
The new Mountblanc Explorer. When it came out I thought only NAJA! Once again Mountblanc has copied a fragrance and interpreted it itself. A comparison with Aventus is not worthy, as this scent is quite synthetic. You wouldn't compare Mike Tyson with Manny either? Different weight class therefore also different rules. But now we come to the scent and packing.
The packaging is nothing great now, but one has the impression that the bottle is of high quality. A metal cap with a leather stripe around the flacon makes a good impression! If you remove the cap, the vaporizer is pretty good, too, I've seen worse. Unfortunately, the opening is very close to Aventus, and would even go so far that perfume lenders wouldn't be able to tell the difference in the opening.
The fragrance starts with a sweet ambroxanopening and after a good 1-2 hours develops more in the minimal leathery woodsy direction. A little later one can also detect the cocoa note but the ambroxan is omnipresent. Durability and sillage I would appreciate for a designer in the good range. The scent is still perceptible after 6 hours before it becomes more body like after spraying for 3 hours. I can't perceive a big development in the drydown, rather a linear scent that is meant for the masses. After 3-4 hours only a sour synthetic scent remains, which may remind me of green apples but is more leathery and woody. This becomes so extreme that I get a headache from the scent in summer. Durability is the standard 6-8 hours for me, and Sillage is pretty good for a designer in the first 1-2 hours! Season rather spring and autumn, because it is too fresh for the winter and simply too synthetic for the summer. Due to the fruity Aventus-likeopening it is a signature centre that could be worn at any occasion. Especially suitable for work, because you don't want to have crass non-scented scents at work.
I would recommend the fragrance to someone who is looking for a cheap aventus alternative, because as an independent fragrance I classify it with too little character. There are better scents in the price range that show more edges. For me, however, he has become by his too strong synthetics a clear passport.

A whole new fragrance experience
The good D&G Light Blue could almost be called a legendary summer fragrance. Spritzig, lemon and musk bring a good solid summer fragrance together which also brings in compliments.
For me, this one is the best of the bunch and the flakers...

Versace Allrounder!
I bought the scent back then because of Youtub influence. Apparently this is the all-rounder of Versace!
Flacon: Is very beautiful to look at. The bottle is in a classic blue and the Versacelogo in gold is applied once on the spray head and on the front...
