While the summer tends to bring a flurry of citrusy and airy fragrances for men, that doesn’t mean you have to wait for fall to get a woodsy scent. Although darker and woodier fragrances pair well with the colder months, there are still summer colognes out there that are perfect for the everyday outdoorsman. One of the more recent fragrances to follow this path comes from the luxury brand, Montblanc. Known for their luxurious approach to the outdoors and timeless watches, the brand is also home to many must-have scents. As part of their Explorer series, the new Montblanc fragrance is richer and poignant, making it a statement addition to their cologne lineup. While the series was only released in 2019, this latest iteration feels unlike anything they’ve developed before.

Developed as a follow-up to the brand’s 2023 Explorer Platinum, the new Explorer fragrance is a woodsy and intense cologne made with the modern explorer in mind. The fragrance’s top notes open up the voyage with scents of bergamot, while notes of patchouli and vetiver give it a leathery and woody touch. The base notes of leather and amber add a warmth and intensity to the fragrance that delights. Like others in the Explorer collection, the fragrance comes in an equally sophisticated bottle with a monochromatic black tone and interwoven matte details, finished with a glossy black cap. While the brand has already announced the fragrance, it has yet to unveil its official release date and price. The scent has also already been released in select third-party retailers overseas.
