The Montblanc Explorer, a top-selling fragrance from the Maison, encapsulates the essence of adventure and the remarkable settings in which explorers flourish.



Each fragrance embodies a distinct aspect of exploration, drawing inspiration from various natural environments articulated through woody, ambery, and leathery accords. The Montblanc Explorer Extreme represents the maison's latest endeavour, encapsulating remote, uncharted places in a more potent and intensified fragrance that amplifies the excitement of exploration.



Extreme exploration is epitomised in the planet's most inhospitable and desolate terrains, exemplified by Saudi Arabia's Al Ula Desert, characterised by towering sandstone canyons and unforgiving, undulating sand dunes. The distant landscapes present a challenge even for the most intrepid adventurers; this attitude and determination are encapsulated in the intensity of the Explorer Extreme.



This new rendition, as the inaugural real parfum concentration in the Explorer range, honours the original Eau de Parfum while providing a more intense and immersive olfactory experience. The composition begins with lively green top notes of bergamot and clary sage, embodying the vigour and tenacity of the fearless explorer. Patchouli intricately blends with the enchanting Ambrofix™ accord, conjuring the intrigue and enigma of distant terrains.



The base is a skilful amalgamation of warm amber, smoky leather, and refined vetiver, resulting in a profoundly sensual and lasting finish that endures like the recollection of an intensive voyage. The Montblanc Explorer Extreme embodies the exhilaration of exploration, transforming the essence of adventure into a fragrance that is simultaneously audacious and elegant, wild but cultured.



“Explorer Extreme encapsulates the essence of contemporary masculinity, a captivating blend of intensity and sophistication that encourages the Explorer man to transcend boundaries and achieve new horizons.” Perfumers Jordi Fernandez and Antoine Maisondieu describe the extreme version of the Montblanc Explorer fragrance as an elevated intensity, characterised by warm amber and leathery notes. The Montblanc Explorer Extreme is the latest installment in the Explorer collection, complementing the current Explorer Eau de Parfum and Explorer Platinum. The Explorer Extreme epitomises the pinnacle of adventure, however its predecessors are also noteworthy.
