This ain't no masterpiece
Opened with an unusual plastic/metallic type of note which quickly morphed into a subtle amber. In final dry down a woody note appeared, blending with the amber. Very generic. Nothing to write home about.

Sillage and projection are practically non-existent. Very tight skin scent. I mean, after the first hour, it's nose to skin to detect any of the scent. No idea what the longevity is like but does it matter? For such an intimate scent, who cares if it lasts 2 hours or 20 hours?

Overall a big disappointment. "Meisterstück" is German for masterpiece. This is definitely no masterpiece. Not available yet at discounters so the retail price of $140 is way too much for what this is - basically weak amber/woody fumes.

Already Underrated
If you just read the reviews on here you'd think this was the worst fragrance ever created, an abomination and that montblanc is spitting in the face of every fragrance creator/lover out there with this creation. However at the time of this entry it has a score of 7.6 by 55 users so some people are enjoying it. I am definitely one of those people. To me this is the one of montblancs greatest and I don't care who disagrees. It's a very dark and woody fragrance for sure but there's some amber in there along with some incense that gives it this sort of inky smell, in a good way. Best of all I would classify this as a spicy - oriental - woody/smokey fragrance. Not cough out your lungs smokey but just enough to let you know that it's there. It wasn't a room filler for me but it was enough for passerbys to get a whiff of and get me quite a few compliments every time I've worn it. Lasts all day long too. Really reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on, probably something discontinued by Gucci or Tom Ford or something. I dunno but I really like this. for Montblanc on this one.

Incense & Ambery

The perfume starts with a steaming striking resinous incense, providing a smoky and slightly citrus touch. And with the brightness and spiciness of ginger. This opening of incense sets the stage for an aromatic journey, bringing out a mysterious dark side.

At the heart of the fragrance, an ambery accord adds a resinous sweetness and a long-lasting, cozy warmth. And more warm spices and precious woods add a classic elegance with a comforting depth. Delicious Perfume!

At the base, vetiver gives a soft earthy touch of sophisticated wood, creating a balanced, masculine and formal fragrance. The composition is quite linear, which is no demerit, for me it is the best of the line! Excellent perfume, very elegant!

Meisterstuck? Monsterstuck. Big smell.
What a tremendous collection this Montblanc has. The four released are very good perfumes, original, purposeful, even bold. The bad thing is that designers charge us almost niche prices so we can enjoy a scent that can be confused with any other. Black Meisterstuck is a tough, solid, direct composition, just three notes that, at the top, display an incense reminiscent of Loewe Anonymous, but it doesn't go that way; this evolves into dark woods, dry, bitter, almost medicinal, and slightly amber. I imagined it would be something warmer, for winter use, but on the contrary, this could work well almost year-round. It's for dressing casually, seriously, with a frown. It is truly a rugged and distinguished perfume. Fair performance, 5 to 6 hours are enough, projected for an hour perhaps. Quite unique, except for the price it is well worth it.

Such a wasted potential
I firmly believe that the performance is overrated, I very much prefer smelling great for 4 hours rather than smelling meh for 10. With that being said, this one is simply disappointing.

It opens up beautifully, reminds me a bit of Black by CDG, one of my all-time favourite designers. You get a very pleasant and easy-to-like smokiness, maybe even some warm amber and a just a touch of sweetness. For a moment it evokes the scent of high-quality paper, perhaps intentionally, considering what Montblanc is known for. And then, before it even fully develops, the scent disappears completely.

I gave it another chance on a humid and relatively warm, but not hot day, which I thought should have helped its performance. Still nothing.

I’m incredibly disappointed, I had such high hopes.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s worth trying, you should give it a go anyway, it’s really interesting, and who knows, maybe it’ll have more staying power on your skin. From me, unfortunately it’s a no, especially at this price point.

I find this exquisite. Perhaps it lacks a bit in depth and sillage, but scent is rich and longevity is great. Think: black tie slow dance.

Cool opening with woods, resinous incense, and earthy tones. However unfortunately, it devolves into just another super-amber fragrance.

Charcoal? Masculine, metallic, spicy. Quite an interesting, linear composition, though at times it seems shrill.

an excellent and addictive fragrance, it reminds me of the smell of fountain pen ink with sugar, resins and wood.

Smoky amber and incense with a smooth balsamic-earthy base. Simple yet masterfully blended—signature-worthy and refined.

A solid men's fragrance. Masculine, straightforward, and elegant. Smooth transition from incense to vetiver.
