Really nice video again Ash. A little something I noticed in this video that I really appreciated, was your word choice of saying "share a couple of sprays", as opposed to the usual "waste a couple of sprays". Which...might seem like an insignificant word change, but in the way how some similar fragrance channels do their presentation to viewers, it makes it a lot more welcoming to viewers, rather than coming across as a bit dismissive. So excellent job on a simple thing, that carries a lot of weight behind it. Huge kudos to you.

I think Mont Blanc messed up by not keeping a recognizable note in the blue and platinum. And that note to me should've been the pink pepper that is in explorer.

@alejandroserrano7755 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I agree. Explorer Ultra Blue woulda been more interesting with that pink pepper note. It does have it but it shoulda been more noticable.

I am really looking forward to this one. The original is one of my favorite easy picks! From opening to the awesome drydown a 10/10 designer fragrance in my book. Ultrablue was just so underwhelming. I hope they are on an upwards trend with this.

@Rakschas666 Жыл бұрын

So theres one note in the original mont blanc explorer that one of my colleagues at work finds kinda offputting and we both cant put our fingers on what that is, but we both agree that it is the thing that gives it a dry saw-dusty roughness kind of feeling that strangely enough, doesnt always come out as pronounced depending on skin moisture and environment temperature. I still like the scent and wear it to the office, but not on a regular basis. If your skin is well moisturized and the weather is warm and slightly humid, I get almost none of that note and Explorer performs its best.

Wouldve been nice if MB would've taken some of the original DNA of Explorer like the pepper or something and added something a little different. But this smells nothing of the original. MB is only using there initial success with Explorer and making a totally different scent profile and hoping for sales.

@ddoganxd 9 ай бұрын

To me it suits me better than classic Explorer. From another perspective iPhone SE has literally no resemblance to other iPhone models but it’s still an iPhone. That doesn’t mean it’s another phone. It’s all about the theme, you know the explorer platinun that make you feel of top of the snowy and scary mountains, original explorer is more masculine like safari or trying to survive in nature kind of feeling. So it’s all up to you when or where should you wear it, how you wanna feel that day. These are fragrances you shouldn’t judge them like classic and strawberry flavored oreos. But yeah I admit you are not completely wrong.
