I tested the fragrance at M.... tested, without great expectations, only because I find the Marbert classic still really good - after a while in the pedestrian zone I had to sniff again and again on my hand, the fragrance has become really good; it starts citrusy fresh, then becomes more aquatic and ends floral, slightly powdery but very pleasant; it reminded me immediately of the blue Bogner Man, which is why I took him for the price of 19, - Euro; a successful everyday fragrance, which, and this is the downer, unfortunately does not last very long, with me only about 4 hours; so be it - is just re-sprayed ;-)

Sauvage Elixir,
there it is now, hotly longed for and expected. I'm really no friend of the Sauvage fragrances, the once mentioned in advance; the Sauvage fragrances were me always too sharp, piercing in the nose, in short, too ambroxan lastig.
However, this fragrance is basically out of line. He makes a nice round development through and reminds of the true perfume art of the house of Dior from earlier times.
The fragrance starts relatively fresh with grapefruit and lavender, then becomes very warm and velvety, almost mossy and woody, to change again later in a gum- licorice touch à la Balmain carbon.
In general, I have very many associations with the fragrance course to forgotten classics,
In the beginning, for example, to Macassar by Rochas, in the middle then Jil Sander Man Two and at the end
remains a memory and similarity to Héritage by Guerlain, all quite noble fragrances so.
The basic DNA of the actual Sauvage fragrance remains thereby always discreet and never too pungent or intrusive in the background.
The fragrance is very long lasting and has in the drydown warm and woody element - on the whole : Chapeau Monsieur Demachy, a really noble fragrance, and for a long time a fragrance that really stands out and stands out away from the mainstream.

Now finally had the opportunity to test it, the fragrance convinces me, I bought it right away -
at first you feel directly the DNA to the big relative, the green, mysterious and spicy in the top note - but quickly joins there a lemony effervescence, which initially almost reminds you of grapefruit, but is very pleasant; in the further course I have perceived a very pleasant change, the fragrance was calmer, more settled and altogether more harmonious - it reminds me very strongly of the Lacoste Original 1984.
In short: a successful summer fragrance that lasts even after 6 hours pleasant and stands out from the sweet mishmash

I was able to test it now and was surprised by its predecessors - positively surprised, because it really stands out from the new products; it starts citric, creamy, round and powdery around you - somewhat confusing, I had expected an aggressive fragrance because of its initially in military camouflage look presented flacons. Later I even associated it with Habit Rouge from Guerlain, but not so dry - a great fragrance for the coming summer

I was allowed to test the new scent of Montblanc - Explorer - now on Saturday; the name promised a lot, the presentation, the flacon pleases and the sugar-sweet smile of the turquoise Mademoiselle, who praised the scent in highest tones promised a lot - so scent on the wrist and off we go; The handkerchief is a handkerchief, like Sauvage from Dior's ambroxan overdose, which unfortunately overshadows and kills the whole fragrance and remains pungent in the nose; otherwise the Explorer starts citrical and slightly spicy and is later a 1st class overdose:1 copy of the here much praised Aventus by Creed, although not so round, but this is probably owed to the Ambroxan - I'm happy for young people who don't (yet) want to spend as much money on a fragrance as in the price segment of Aventus, they have here a perfect fragrance twin that serves the mainstream and has what it takes to become a real hit; for me personally unfortunately the wrong direction, because I'm not sooo a big Aventus fan either
