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.
