Montblanc Emblem Eau de Toilette

Product Information

I'm all for modern or new scents with those companies tryinf different stuff but gray colognes and musk scents should have died off. In fact I like to use axe as an example. I'd prefer axe gold over this junk. I'll take Lacoste, Paco Rabanne, polo (how original) or davidoff over this in a heart beat how boring that one was. I like my theirry muggler angel (probably spelled the designer wrong) way more than this and I use that about once a month. If I was a millionaire it would be my bathroom spray. Bottom line: you may well like Montblanc Emblem, and it may be a good choice for you, if you can find it heavily discounted and enjoy well presented, inoffensive warm spicy aromatic fragrances with unaccented Iso-E super type dry downs. However, be advised that for certain skin chemistries, like my own, the fragrance just won't work. Blind buy with caution.

That being said, it last quite a while. It survived on me the whole day, still sufficiently projecting at bedtime. It gradually gets softer as the day goes on though. Fantastic sillage and longevity, I must say (: This scent takes you on a far more interesting journey than the moderate price would imply. I know I have an undeniable bias to wood aromatic and/or spicy blends, but I feel like as long as you have a fondness for this family of scents, this would be a very safe blind buy if you know to expect a good woody scent with a fresh dry touch and more sweetness in the drydown than the opening would suggest. Very interesting.Professional and formal. Those two words perfectly outline this fragrance. This is not something you wear on a typical day. This is a business suit and tie accessory, or a date-night aroma. Definitely not your average deo-body spray. This is the atmosphere of someone successful and someone who knows what they want in life, and how to achieve it. Nevertheless, it's unfortunate that a house that is capable of producing the excellent Individuel is opting for the tried and tested money-making formula, but that's hardly surprising - particularly after the statement of purpose that was MB Legend. Yesterday, I sniffed the cap of Mont Blanc's emblem and it seemed very disappointing. I left a review here just below this one that I will keep for comparison.

That said, Emblem reinforces my personal opinion about the fragrances of the brand, which tend to grow in my concept the more I make use of them. Here, there is a little more nobility and maturity, which fit better in my current moment of life. After all, we are talking about almost eight years of difference since the launch of the Carolina Herrera's fragrance, and the market at that time was different.OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, gym, office, business, casual. This is an office-friendly fragrance. Overall the tone is sweet and warm but the individual notes are too faint to raise above the violet leaf/sweet grapefuit accord; the kind of nondescript woody drydown and very sweet tonka beans, which here take a sweet tobacco-ish turn, only reinforce the combo without adding something interesting in the long run. Emblem was announced in March 2014 along with its Intense version (which is rare in this market as there is usually a space of, at least, one year between flanker releases). At the time, Montblanc claimed that the fragrances represented the brand's heritage and, for this reason, the bottle cut into the shape of the famous six-point star.
