Warmer, Sweeter and Spicier than the Original - But Not Bold Enough
First impressions.

Montblanc Extreme opens up with a blast of fresh citrus, but then develops into a much darker, warmer fragrance with much more depth than the original. In the drydown it also becomes sweeter and more resinous.

It's very much in the wheelhouse of Sauvage Elixir/Boss Bottled Elixir/Triumph Elixir and even Bottled Absolu, though nowhere near as strong or as bold. It feels like this is where Montblanc took its inspiration from. It also shares the same spiciness as those fragrances and has the same liquorice note found in Sauvage Elixir.

It's by no means a beast mode fragrance, and on me sits very close to the skin. Longevity is better, and I've been able to smell it for most of the day. Personally I would prefer it to be punchier and project better.

It's a 6 out of 10 for me at the moment, as it needs more wear. It's not a bad fragrance, it's just that there are other fragrances out there doing the same kind of thing, only better.

On a spring morning..
... walking the dog through the forest. The first flowers are already coming out. The first buds can already be seen on the trees. It's damp, spicy and fresh at the same time. My leather jacket is damp and exudes its aroma. My dog is romping on the lead and fetching a stick, more like a tree. We are simply having fun.

When you apply this fragrance, the first thing you notice is a scent of dark, not sweet, liquorice (even if this is not in the fragrance pyramid) that reminds you of a well-known perfume from Dior. After about 15 minutes, this is replaced by a citrusy, fresh, dry, dark twist. To give this perfume a really masculine vibe, resinous and woody accents are mixed in. I assume that the woody accent comes from the vetiver. In order to become really masculine with hair on the chest, the leather makes itself heard, which has a slightly damp quality and gives the fragrance even more depth and darkness. But what the fragrance always is in my nose is clean and grown-up.

The longevity and silage are very good.

Here, the house of Montblanc has launched a men's fragrance that turns a gentleman into a lumberjack. As this fragrance is strongly masculine, I don't see it being suitable for women. On the other hand, it is quite grown-up and is therefore suitable for wear from the age of 25 upwards. I would say that this is an all-rounder that is suitable all year round, whether cold or hot. During the day it feels just as comfortable in a suit as it does in jeans or for sports. In the evening, he is a charismatic guy who likes to seduce the ladies, whether at a dinner, in a bar, in a club or at a ball or party.

If you like a licoricey citrusy fresh dry dark resinous woody masculine leather scent you should definitely take a look at this one. It is certainly worth it.

The modern lumberjack
The blend of fresh bergamot in the top note and the woody, leathery finish is ingenious. Masculine, self-confident, not intrusive, slightly oriental but not too sweet or synthetic. In my opinion, a great blend of modern and classic and a good daily driver. If you like the fragrances mentioned, you can't go wrong here in my opinion. Also suitable as a blind buy or gift.

This is a cross between the OG and Sauvage Elixir. Patchouli-vetiver with an amber sweetness. Very alluring! Good one

You know that horrible opening to Club de Nuit that people talk about? Imagine that as a fragrance. Rotten synthetic lemons. Worse Explorer

I don't like it, but it reminds a lot of Sauvage Elixir. It makes sense to get this as an alternative if you want to save a bit of money.

Pointless release, starts sweaty-designer and after is just annoying Sauvage Elixir liqorice. Bland & uninspired, two noses for this?
