Got this one as a random bonus sample, so a kind of 'blind buy'. Tried a couple of Montblanc fragrances in the past, and found them to be decent enough - though lacking in projection and longevity.....sadly true for this one too. The combo of violet and lavender floral, with the fir, woody, and vanilla base is actually really nice.....with a bit more 'punch' I feel like this could be a real autumnal evening time winner - such a shame about the performance!

Second time wearing this sample, and similar to both Juniper Sling and Blenheim Bouquet - its a delightful citrus forward, freshy fragrance. The white florals through the mid and base notes result in a genuinely soft and slightly feminine leaning profile - I think this one could be justifiably regarded as a unisex scent. The jasmine and sandalwood combine to convey a refined clean-laundry vibe, without being overtly 'soapy' To be honest, the performance isn't fantastic, as its dries down to a skin scent very quickly - however, for me that's not always a major factor, depending on the circumstance and situation.

Trying this one out the first form a recent miniature set I received. In a word - its crisp - but in a very appealing way, at least it is to me. The lime and lemon citrus off the top is very refreshing. As it dries down - the pine note rises in prominence. If you ever walked through a Mediterranean pine forest, after a summer rain shower - this is where Blenheim will take you. The soft, floral lavender blends nicely in the background, and keeps the pine element from becoming astringent. I guess if you're not a fan of woody, pine forward scents - maybe one to avoid.

The warm weather is hanging around this autumn, so this subtle, crisp fragrance is just the job. It comes with quite a kick on initial spray, with a pungent juniper and orange hit. It softens and slightly sweetens after about 2-3 mins, with cardamom and vetiver the more prominent notes - at least to my nose. One of those where I'm not sure I'd spring for a full bottle at the price point, but is a very easy hot weather wear.

What a great birthday gift from my family 😁 Can't wait to try them out.
