Montblanc Individuel Eau de Toilette

Product Information

My beginner's nose recognizes at the beginning a beautiful interplay of bergamot, juniper berry and washing powder, whereby the latter is discreet and hardly disturbing. At first, Mont Blanc Individuel is a strong and unabashed fragrance. However, it soon dies down into the heart and leaves a relatively faint but noticeably sillage. However, it projects very well and should be applied sparingly. Individuals actually smell of freshly washed clothes. I still find it very difficult to distinguish the individual nuances of the scent pyramid from each other, it seems to be a little bit of everything, but this melts into a very soft, pleasantly smelling casual perfume. Only the raspberry really stands out, but by no means penetrating, but springlike and delicious. Combined with its musky and spicy notes, this makes it an overall Woody Oriental Amber fragrance. Head Notes So I can assess the fragrance itself as positive throughout. But I find these obvious quality problems from batch to batch unspeakable. Smaller deviations are known. And so are reformulations. But I can't understand the fluctuations that are thrown at the market here. Can and should something like this be included in the overall evaluation? I think so. If I have to test three bottles to get "the right" scent, I don't understand anymore.

However, in recent years it caused a stir and gained traction within the fragrance community. Today, it is seen as one of the best affordable fragrances for small budgets and is regularly recommended by other bloggers. Personally, I still do not think much of this fragrance. He has nothing special for me and smells somehow like Hubba Hubba. I like Hubba Hubba, but do not want to smell like it. A fragrance you can wear when you do not know what you could wear. I think he hit the nail on the head with this Montblanc Individuel lives up to its name, as I have - at least until now - never smelled a fragrance that goes in a similar direction. And in sum smells Individuel somehow so typically masculine-Cologne artig, so it just feels very much like a confident, sexy signature fragrance. Fruity and sweet and very raspberry. And yet there is also a minty freshness that distantly reminds me of Versaces Eros. There in combination with the apple, here with the raspberry. In terms of content, however, this works almost identically. In general, I see strong parallels to Eros in the whole style. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes more floral, but also more woody at the same time, before entering the vanilla-tonka base. The sweet fruity berry note lingers in a weakened form until the end. All in all, however, the course in practice seems much more linear than the list of ingredients would suggest.Despite being a fragrance on a small budget, the bottle is very stylish. Its slim design fits comfortably in the hand with an understated yet elegant text in opposing corners of the facade. The cap can be difficult to remove at times, but it’s well-made and features the iconic Mont Blanc ice cap logo. I think it is a perfume suitable for everyday use for everyone who likes clean, fresh, but also delicious fragrances! I really wanted to test this fragrance, because various perfume lovers talked about this fragrance. And expensive he is also not. As the heart notes fade, an overtly sandalwood scent emerges to take centre stage. This is supported by a lighthearted white musk note and an unconventional raspberry note. The resulting bouquet is unusual but otherwise pleasant. In this review, you will read our evaluation of Montblanc Individuel. Using our formula, we’ll analyse the fragrance’s bouquet of notes, quality and value for money as well as its seasonality and usage. Overview

Individual smells sweet and fruity to me all the time, mainly raspberry. An Albanian colleague, which is also my hairdresser and until that time never evaluated my perfume, said "you smell good yes". Worth mentioning is a compliment I received from a lady's point of view. For instance, the raspberry note in the base was somewhat surprising and quite refreshing. Usually, fruity notes tend to be featured in the head or the heart rather than the base. Otherwise, Individuel is a linear trip of sequential notes. Wake & Strength Of Individuel

Closing Thoughts

Somewhat paradoxically, Individuel is both a conventional and unusual fragrance. Whilst the general structure follows that of a classic pyramidal accord, it’s included some unexpected notes on the way. I would think of Joop Homme now, which is also somewhat similar, but Joop Homme is much more striking for my taste. (Le Male Vibe) It smells much more like "broad masses", you immediately think "I know him yet.". And maybe a little youthful... The sweet and fresh fruity notes make a unique contrast against the sandalwood and musky warmth, which is certainly one to try. Individuel’s Lifecycle

So the name is 100% accurate for me. The flacon shapely, clear, and yet practical, - you just like to take him in hand! I still find Individuel is really unique, almost a kind of highlight from the house, it is olfactory a bit like the golden ratio of this fragrance for me.

When Should You Wear Montblanc Individuel?

Following a linear dry-down, we next experience a heart of various notes including coriander, geranium as well as mint and rosemary. The interplay between the aromatics and floral notes are fresh and comforting. Base Notes It should be said that I prefer designer fragrances mostly Nichendüften, but I find Individuel just has the "certain something", I know some that resemble, but none that resembles. Hui... so with this list of notes, as long as the Old Testament, this is really a challenge to describe it! :D Clone or no clone, that's the question. No, not really. It's definitely not a clone. Nevertheless, I can understand the association well - Individuel immediately reminds me of Joop Homme. However, in the form of a modernized update.
