I was introduced to this on my last adventure to the Panhandle and with the excitement of the past two weeks had forgotten I got a sample. It’s right up my alley and has a perfect mix of woody leather for me. Good projection, in that “something smells good in here” but not smack you in the face in my opinion. Initially I liked it, but after today, a full bottle will be mine sooner than later as to me it’s a step above the OG Explorer. Explorer Extreme by Montblanc is a fragrance for men introduced in 2025. This composition is characterized by a blend of woody, leathery, and spicy notes, designed to evoke the spirit of adventure. The fragrance opens with a radiant note of bergamot, followed by earthy patchouli and vetiver at the heart. The base is defined by warm amber accord and leather, providing depth and warmth to the overall scent.

Aventus fans, the fifth video in my "Aventus vs The World" series is LIVE! I've already put Aventus against top contenders like Montblanc Explorer, Club de Nuit Intense Man, Nishane Hacivat, and Mind Games Blockade. But today's challenger is the one that could truly define the series: Dua's Poseidon's Elixir 13ZZ! The Ultimate Aventus Batch Battle This face-off is special because the clone is specifically aiming for the legendary 2013 "13ZZ" batch of Aventus—considered by many collectors to be the most balanced, with the perfect blend of fruit (pineapple) and smoke (birch). The Question: Did Dua deliver a win for "The World" by perfecting the best version of Aventus, or does the original Creed Aventus still reign supreme in elegance and command? - Aventus: The elegant, airy, refined king; perfect for the boardroom and formal events. - Poseidon's Elixir 13ZZ: The denser, sweeter, and more powerful Extrait; built for nightlife and maximum compliment pull. ▶️ WATCH THE FULL FACE-OFF AND VERDICT HERE! What side are you on before you watch? Do you value the Elegance and Refinement of Creed or the Power and Performance of the Dua clone? 👇
