Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emblem EDT

Montblanc Emblem is a friendly, versatile scent with a spicy-fresh vibe that often sparks debate. While some rave about its unique charm and mass appeal, others dismiss it as safe and unremarkable. It's a bit of a chameleon, often compared to popular fragrances, but ultimately carving out its own niche.

Our Verdict - Symbol For Men EDP

A budget take on Montblanc Emblem, the much-loved value all-rounder. Symbol captures the zesty grapefruit-and-cardamom opening and aromatic-spicy character, but the smooth, sexy tonka-and-woods base that made the original a reliable compliment-getter reads thinner here, with shorter staying power.

Its moderate sillage and versatile aroma make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering.
