Eilish No.3 Eau de Toilette vs Trailblazer Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent, many find it's a 'Christmas in a bottle' festive woody fragrance, but its disappointing longevity is a frequent complaint. You'll either love its sharp, peppery opening and cosy pine drydown, or find it a bit too much like pencil shavings and car air fresheners.
Trailblazer takes Montblanc Explorer's leather-woods-amber outdoorsy signature and delivers a recognisable but louder, flatter version, with the pepper-leather opening fading into a simpler amber-musk base far sooner than the original's rugged, layered dry-down.
