MONTBLANC Individual Eau de Toilette

excelente perfume, aunque no dura tanto

I would like to speak about the comparison between Mont Blanc Individuel and Original Santal. I am a huge fan of Original Santal. It's just a wonderful fragrance. I like Mont Blanc Individuel as well! However, these are two separate fragrances, and I would not recommend Mont Blanc Individuel as a "replacement" for Original Santal at all. Likewise, Mont Blanc Individuel also serves its purpose.The opening of Mont Blanc Individuel smells exactly like Original Santal after Original Santal has dried down for about 3 minutes. There's no doubt about it. Sure, the Creed smells more fresh and natural, but unless you are VERY familiar with Original Santal, you would not be able to tell the difference. This smell stays similar to Original Santal for about an hour. Then things start to change.Mont Blanc Individuel changes drastically from smelling like Original Santal to smelling like laundry fresh out of the dryer. Is that bad? Absolutely not! But Original Santal has an intoxicating smell that has more to it than the "dryer sheet" smell. Individuel, after about an hour, is pure dryer sheets. Original Santal has more spice. I would even say that after three hours of wearing Mont Blanc Individuel, you can't even compare the two fragrances. If I didn't smell Individuel's opening, I wouldn't have even thought the two fragrances were even remotely similar.I'm not just repeating other people's comparisons of dryer sheets -- no, this really smells like dryer sheets! Like I said, that's not a bad thing. This is an excellent, fresh smelling fragrance. The best part of fragrance is in its first hour.I would also say that Mont Blanc Individuel is more masculine and Original Santal is more unisex. I would love to smell Original Santal on a woman. Unfortunately, my girlfriend doesn't like to wear it.Don't go believing all these people who say a certain fragrance smells exactly like another. They don't. They may share some similarities, but the DNA is totally different from fragrance to fragrance.My advice to anyone considering one of these two fragrances is this: If you are looking for a blind buy, and price is not an issue, go with Original Santal. If you have the opportunity to test Mont Blanc Individuel, go for it. If you find you love the opening a lot more than the drydown, go with Original Santal. The entire drydown of Original Santal is the opening of Mont Blanc Individuel. If you are strapped for cash and just want to smell good, go with Individuel. If you have Original Santal, I do recommend buying Mont Blanc Individuel, because it is a different fragrance, contrary to what others will tell you.Mont Blanc Individuel is a great fragrance on its own. It does not replace Original Santal by any means, but the two fragrances are different. Original Santal is a masterpiece for Creed. Mont Blanc Individuel is very close to being a designer masterpiece on its own. The longevity is outstanding. It projects well without being offensive. And to top it all off, it just smells fresh!Longevity: 10+ hoursProjection: About 3 feetSmell: 7/10Overall: 8/10Mont Blanc Individuel is a great value, is highly versatile and can be worn at any time of the year. I highly recommend adding this fragrance to your collection.----Side Note----I purchased this product directly from Amazon and I can confirm I received an authentic, quality product. Buy with confidence.

I tried the Mont Blanc perfume , and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The fragrance is beautifully balanced, offering a perfect blend of sophistication and freshness. The top notes are bright and invigorating, giving way to a heart that feels elegant and warm. What I love most is how long it lasts just a few sprays in the morning, and I can still catch subtle hints of it well into the evening. It’s versatile enough to wear for both casual and formal occasions, and I’ve received numerous compliments whenever I wear it. Overall,is a luxurious, captivating scent that makes a lasting impression.

This cologne was acceptable, as I am somewhat picky about my cologne and aftershave fragrances. My wife likes it, too—it is not too faint or too brash.

If you search around online for inexpensive, versatile fragrances, you're sure to come across Mont Blanc Individuel. When describing the scent, every review compares it to Creed' s Original Santal - which is around $250 for a bottle this size. I've never smelled Creed' s fragrance, so I took a leap of faith and bought this without having an idea of what to expect.I typically ware fresh aquatic type scents. So to me this was a little bit more "perfumey" then what I'm used to, but that's not a bad thing. Once it settles into the dry down, it's kind of a similar smell to dryer sheets - fresh, clean, bright, airy, with some hints of floral. That may sound a little weird, but it's really inviting and pleasant. It still manages to be masculine, modern, and sophisticated.It lasts close to 8 hours for me, and has moderate projection. So this performs really well.Since its very fresh and clean, this can really be used for any occasion, or season. Because of its sophisticated feel, this could even work for formal occasions. Wherever you ware it, you're bound to get a ton of compliments.

I am happy with the product, though it’s not like the original cologne

If you read this, you undoubtedly know that any description of a fragrance is highly subjective, and that peoples’ skins differ in response to any given fragrance.Superlatives escape me as I try to write about this fragrance. On application the first note I smell is a sweet pineapple, which gives way to floral notes, then it slips almost unnoticed into the usual woody base notes. It usually lasts 6-8 hours on my skin, and I enjoy the scent no matter where it happens to be during its life cycle.Mont Blanc Individuel has been on the market since 2003, so I guess I’m not the only one who likes it! There is one regret about my having purchased this fragrance: I regret that I did not know about it sooner.I can recommend Mont Blanc Individuel to anyone who is new to fragrances and may not necessarily know where to start. It is priced so that almost anyone can “afford” to buy it; I got mine for less than $30 from Amazon.

I received the cologne in perfect conditions! My husband loved the smells! Recommended
