Montblanc Individuel Eau De Toilette for Men, 75 ml

Product Information

The sweet and fresh fruity notes make a unique contrast against the sandalwood and musky warmth, which is certainly one to try. Individuel’s Lifecycle Similarly, it’s hard to put a finger on a particular age range that is best suited to this fragrance. The budget and aspirational aspect of the fragrance may make it an attractive choice for younger men in their teens and twenties. However, the sandalwood accord would be more adapted to older men in their thirties or older. For instance, the raspberry note in the base was somewhat surprising and quite refreshing. Usually, fruity notes tend to be featured in the head or the heart rather than the base. Otherwise, Individuel is a linear trip of sequential notes. Wake & Strength Of Individuel As the heart notes fade, an overtly sandalwood scent emerges to take centre stage. This is supported by a lighthearted white musk note and an unconventional raspberry note. The resulting bouquet is unusual but otherwise pleasant. Paradoxically, it’s a fragrance that features particular notes that go well with the nighttime. Therefore, if you’re someone that works the night shift, this would be perfect! Either way, you could likely use this fragrance to suit your environment.

I think he hit the nail on the head with this Montblanc Individuel lives up to its name, as I have - at least until now - never smelled a fragrance that goes in a similar direction. With a tableau of notes ranging from spicy to aromatic with a number of fruity notes on the way, Individuel is certainly a mixed bag. However, its overarching sandalwood accord, which we’ll talk about later, brings it into the woody family. My beginner's nose recognizes at the beginning a beautiful interplay of bergamot, juniper berry and washing powder, whereby the latter is discreet and hardly disturbing. Over a longer period of time I thought that it is an homage or copy of Creed's Original Santal, which also imposes itself on you if you had to guess it only by smell, since Original Santal smells somehow more natural and a bit higher quality.However, the opposition find this fragrance to be overtly synthetic and struggle to enjoy it. Many find it very cheap in this respect and a general disappointment. Well, I noticed the following when testing the fragrance several times: it does not change - linear progression from the beginning to the end. Individuals actually smell of freshly washed clothes. I still find it very difficult to distinguish the individual nuances of the scent pyramid from each other, it seems to be a little bit of everything, but this melts into a very soft, pleasantly smelling casual perfume. Only the raspberry really stands out, but by no means penetrating, but springlike and delicious.

Despite being a fragrance on a small budget, the bottle is very stylish. Its slim design fits comfortably in the hand with an understated yet elegant text in opposing corners of the facade. The cap can be difficult to remove at times, but it’s well-made and features the iconic Mont Blanc ice cap logo. So I can assess the fragrance itself as positive throughout. But I find these obvious quality problems from batch to batch unspeakable. Smaller deviations are known. And so are reformulations. But I can't understand the fluctuations that are thrown at the market here. Can and should something like this be included in the overall evaluation? I think so. If I have to test three bottles to get "the right" scent, I don't understand anymore.
