The r/fragrance community has mixed opinions on Explorer Platinum, with particular caution against blind buying despite its attractive price point. While Montblanc's general quality and price-to-performance ratio are respected, this specific flanker divides opinions due to its prominent violet leaf and herbal notes that don't work for everyone. Testing in-store is strongly recommended before purchasing.
Strengths
- Fresh, violet leaf-forward scent profile with herbal qualities
- Good price-to-performance ratio typical of Montblanc
- EDP concentration offers better longevity than original Explorer
- Appeals to fans of the original Explorer fragrance
Weaknesses
- Divisive scent - some find it sour or unpleasant on skin
- Unreliable as a blind buy; testing in store strongly recommended
- Previous flanker (Ultra Blue) was poorly received by community
- Not universally appealing; some dislike the violet leaf prominence
