No longer up to date
Unfortunately I find the Profumo no longer up to date. It is a classic, which fits to all occasions and has a very good durability. Nevertheless, I compare it with a Dior Sauvage, Invictus or Bleu de Chanel: you simply smelled it. The resemblance to his older brother is unmistakable, which also means that there is hardly a person who doesn't sniff the scent DNA.
Flacon/ Packaging:
Really great. Noble, simple presentation and a magnetic clasp. Flat also lies well in the hand and there is an excellent spray from the sprayer. That's the way it has to be.
Scent:
Aquatic fresh with a light spice. Silage is good, but not too strong, which makes it ideal for use in the office. The shelf life could be stronger in any case, but it is not really weak either. 6 hours it is perceptible, although after 3-4h only close up (at least for me).
Conclusion:
I miss something "Uniqueness", as already mentioned: there is hardly anybody who does not know d Aqua di Gio and/or Profumo and/or has it in his collection. Meanwhile, as of 2020, there is a star deduction. Otherwise great perfume from master Alberto Morillas

Memories of youth
CK One was my first great love. My first perfume, which I wore at the time, while others my age still used deodorant sprays, was an absolute ladykiller.
As far as I remember, the fragrance was not a unisex scent in the past, but was marketed as a men's perfume. That's why I still don't associate the scent as feminine.
Even today I still find this special freshness very pleasant and I still like to smell CK One.
But I wouldn't wear it anymore, because apart from the fact that I associate my youth with the perfume and now prefer more adult fragrances, CK One has (unfortunately) also been abused inflationarily.
Fragrances, like Boss Bottled or Invictus, can be smelled at every corner. Even though I can't say anything bad about the essence itself, except that it has lost a lot of performance compared to back then, you should think carefully about whether it's nice to have a silage around when 80% of the people know the scent.
Isn't it much nicer to be asked: "Wow, you smell good! What is it?"

A typical Tom Ford
Black Orchid is a typical Tom Ford fragrance. Either you hate it or you love it. This is also true for this one, because from all sides it will not rain compliments. But you can also be sure that there will be people who love this smell and you certainly won't smell like everybody else.
I discovered Black Orchid at the airport. Since I wanted to spray something new on the spot, I rummaged around for a long time. Many things smelled good, but nothing remained in my memory until I had Black Orchid in my nose. Wow, what a beast. Extremely strong and completely different from anything I've ever tested. Without knowing that it was apparently mainly a women's scent (meanwhile it is marketed as unisex) I sprayed myself once.
And what can I say?! Even late in the evening I still heard a strong smell and was somehow fascinated by the composition.
Flacon/Packaging:
Also here typically Tom Ford everything in best quality. Even if I personally like the flats of the Privative better, everything is very well thought out and makes a luxurious impression.
The smell:
Very dominant, heavy and flowery. As a man you need a strong self-confidence to wear it, because not everybody will like it and often it will be a nuisance. But with "Uniqueness", an extraordinary durability and a strong Sillage this creation scores extremely well with me.
Conclusion:
A fragrance that does justice to its price and high-quality ingredients, a long shelf life and an unusual fragrance composition.
Besides many compliments, you should be aware that this is a love/hate fragrance that can be very intrusive and not everyone will like it. I see Black Orchid more as a men's fragrance (I don't think it's really sexy for women), although it's more for men with a strong personality
TF times to test I can recommend by the way only everyone who loves fragrances :)

A copy is never as good as the original
I bought the fragrance a year ago in the hope of finding a cheaper alternative to Creed Aventus.
The opening reminds me strongly of Aventus and convinced me quickly. One third of the price and no difference to see?! Well... I was happy too early: Because in the drydown Explorer gains (or rather loses) its own independence and a strange, cheap-chemical-looking bite develops.
The more often I wore the scent, the more I was disturbed by this "chemical bomb". Even as an independent scent I would not recommend this Montblanc fragrance.
Flacon/ Packaging:
Wow, what a great entrance. Montblanc really doesn't have to hide here. A very high-quality bottle that is rounded off by a heavy, anthracite-coloured cap. The spray button works excellently and in my eyes sprays just the right amount of the contents.
The scent:
Opening very fruity and, a prankster who thinks evil, just like Cred Aventus. It's to catch buyers... as, sadly, I do.
However, the drydown is then very chemical and has at least a fragrance of its own. However, it doesn't come across as particularly high quality. The durability is good for a fresh scent, but not outstanding. Price/performance is still right, though.
Conclusion:
For "just for shopping" or as an inexpensive all-rounder, Montblanc's Explorer is not a bad choice.
Nevertheless, miracles are not to be expected and it is by no means an alternative to Aventus.
Especially the flacon is outstandingly successful and looks great. In the end, however, the content is decisive and here it fails due to the unfortunately very stinging chemical bomb at the end of the opening.

Within the scope of his possibilities
The fragrance is called "Office for Men", and fulfils what it stands for. The fragrance is meant for the office
So far so good. Too much silage or too intrusive or polarizing ingredients would of course be out of place with an office fragrance. Of course this is not a CEO fragrance, even if it is constantly advertised. In my opinion, a CEO wears something like Tom Ford and has no problem in attracting attention. A little more "Uniqueness", as Jeremy likes to say, would be good for Office for Men.
Flacon/ Packaging:
The bottle lies well in the hand and has a nice, simple design (just like the packbox). Memories of an Apple product come up first... If it wasn't for the extremely cheap quality. The thin cardboard box doesn't exactly create an "aha" effect, while the cap is made of cheap metal as thin as a fake perfume from a Turkish bazaar. Dadrin is supposed to be a 160€ perfume?!
The smell:
Fruity fresh and an everybody-pleaser. There will hardly be anyone who will not like the smell, but it is also not a head-turner or panty-dropper. Actually perfect for everyday office life, because that's what it was made for. If he had a little more independence, he could probably take on Prada L'Homme.
But Prada plays in a different league. Here you get more for your money and above all a more valuable fragrance composition. Also here the price has to be taken into account; because after a mixture of far more than 100€ it doesn't smell (maybe also because of the dominance of Ambrox?!).
Conclusion:
Whether you like Jeremy Fragrance or not, "Office for Men" is a solid but not exceptional release. Especially in the office it is very well suited and you won't notice anyone negatively with it. However, I have not yet received outstanding compliments. For that it is simply too "boring" and inconspicuous.
If you want to get a flat, you should definitely do so via one of the numerous discount offers (2 for the price of 1, etc.). For 100ml you pay too much for the quality.
P.S. By the way, I consider it impertinent and anything but goal-oriented to give the perfume a bad rating because of the person behind the brand
