Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Presence Eau de Parfum
Montblanc Presence is a surprisingly divisive frag that's either a classic, unique 'barbershop' gem or an outdated, weak 'dad scent'. Most agree it's a clean, subtly spicy wear that won't offend, but don't expect beast mode performance.
Statement
Our Verdict - Velorum Extrait
Velorum is a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent - divisive, opulent, and not one to shy away from making a statement. Expect bold fruity sweetness with a serious musky kick, but be warned, some find it sickly and overpriced.
