Montblanc Explorer Platinum - An Intriguing Scent
The first time I tried it was on a tester strip in a mall. I was immediately surprised by the scent and although I did not try it on skin at that time I knew it was something that I was eventually going to get.
In terms of scent, Explorer Platinum is masculine, lightly sweet, herbal-camphorous and woody. It does share something in common with the Original Explorer and that is the Akigaliwood/Suede component. Therefore, the far dry down can be felt as synthetic due to these notes, as it was also the case with the original one. You will go nose blind on this, but not as much as with the original; I also perceive it as having more depth than the first one and not being as minimalist.
It is a creamy or buttery scent but I personally don't get any coconut, which is a good thing because I am not really a fain of it in perfumes. This is not a safe blind buy as I can see how some people might perceive the greenness which is present here as dill or even parsley! I was lucky to see their commercial months before I purchased it and because of that this one inspires to me winter, forests and snow.
In terms of performance, I got 7-8 hours on my skin but if you spray on clothes is will surely last even more. During the first hour it will be quite loud, like most of them are and then it will settle down to 1 feet for most of its life duration.
I find it very relaxing and enjoyable, definitely an office scent but can also be worn casually, of course. The scent goes into a direction of sophistication and elegance to some degree and, although you don't need to suit up for it, you can't use it with any kind of random outfit.
This is not unisex, this is for men and I think it's a solid release, to which I am going to rate as an 8/10.
