Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by Explorer

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Montblanc's Explorer (2019) - the Jordi Fernandez and Antoine Maisondieu bergamot-leather-vetiver masculine that became Montblanc's modern adventurer signature, here translated into a bergamot-pink pepper opening over leather and a ambroxan-vetiver close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and casual masculine wear at a fraction of the designer price.
