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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Montblanc Explorer Ultra Blue bursts open with invigorating bergamot and Sicilian lemon, washing over you with a fresh sea breeze and ozonic clarity. The heart brings a marine saltiness from seaweed and driftwood, balanced by peppery spice and a subtle woody undertone. Ambergris and musk in the base lend a smooth, mineralic finish, making this scent as clean and bracing as ocean air. Bright, casual and energetic, it's the ultimate expression of blue freshness.
