Presence vs Starwalker

Montblanc Presence is viewed as a budget-friendly option with a pleasant spring character, but the community consensus notes significant issues with longevity and staying power. While some users enjoy layering it with other fragrances for seasonal combinations, most acknowledge its outdated profile and frequent discontinuation as limiting factors.

Starwalker is a unique, affordable fragrance with a distinctive sporty character that divides the community. While some appreciate its bamboo and starfruit notes, many find the synthetic aldehydes off-putting, and its poor longevity (2-3 hours) is a consistent complaint that deters repurchasing despite its low price point.
