Eden Perfumes No.202 Explorer is an Eau de Parfum. No.202 Explorer opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Dark Chocolate, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Eden Perfumes's No.202 Explorer carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

No.202 is Eden Perfumes' aftershave version of Montblanc Explorer, matching the bergamot-and-pepper opening with a vetiver heart and patchouli-cocoa base. Less rich and shorter-lived than the designer original, but the same modern woody-earthy signature.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.202 opens with a crisp mix of bergamot, pink pepper and clary sage, giving a bright, slightly spiced first impression that mirrors the fresh-aromatic entrance the original Montblanc Explorer built its reputation on. Vetiver takes over through the heart, bringing an earthy, grounded quality that anchors the fragrance and signals the woody direction it is heading toward. The dry down brings patchouli, cocoa, akigalawood and ambroxan together for a warm, slightly gourmand woody base, echoing the modern, mineral-woody trail the designer original is known for. Eden's version is noticeably lighter in the base and fades sooner than the original, which layers leather and sandalwood for extra richness and much better longevity, but the bergamot-to-woody-earthy shape remains clearly recognisable. It suits office wear or casual daytime use particularly well for anyone chasing that confident, adventurous Explorer character without the designer cost.
