Emblem by Montblanc

A good fragrance, citrusy with sweet and spicy notes. Ideal for spring or autumn; I don’t see it working in extreme heat or cold. It suits both day and night. It lasts about five hours, reducing to a personal bubble afterwards; it projects well for the first hour before fading.

It could be considered ‘blue’ given its great versatility, making it ideal as a signature scent. Citrus, spicy, and slightly sweet notes stand out. It is moderate in longevity and projection, yet it earns compliments for its pleasant aroma, even if it lacks innovation. That said, it is quite linear.

If you want to give CH a different vibe, use this as an alternative from the line. It brings back lovely yet bitter memories (it smells like last winter), and has become my favourite for that sweet, floral, creamy cardamom with a citrusy grapefruit finish. The drydown, as my friends described it, is chocolatey, more like Emblem than Bad Boy. What’s peculiar is how it adapts to the environment: try not to wear it where it might smell off, because even if others don’t notice, when you pass by, the scents blend together. It wasn’t very long-lasting, but the trail was decent; those nearby will definitely smell it. I recommend applying it to the head, neck, shoulders, collarbones, and ears.

Commercial, pleasant, suitable for all men and ages, like CH Men but without the soft leather that recalls sweet tobacco. In the case of Mont Blanc, it’s more cinnamon, violet and hay-scented, bringing it somewhat closer to the bestseller YSL La Nuit de L’Homme EDT. To me, nowadays, in 2024, it seems a rather generic scent, already heard a lot on the market. The bottle design is nice, very much in line with Mont Blanc’s elegant style (feathers, luxury pens). Longevity and projection are typical of the house, quite moderate leaning towards weak. The price is reasonable. Nowadays it’s hard to find in major perfumeries; if you search, especially online, you’ll find it. You don’t pay a fortune for this; more than 60 euros for 100ml is already expensive.

I wish I had this lotion; I’m a woman and love wearing it occasionally because it drives me wild. It’s seductive, rough, and mysterious, something truly out of the ordinary. It’s not for everyone, but for me, it was love at first sight.

It’s a direct copy of Roberto Cavalli Uomo; side by side, you can’t tell any difference.

Very rich; I gave it to my dad for his birthday and he loved it, as did I.

I just bought it and it reminds me of The Icon by Antonio Banderas, but softer and warmer. I’m not sure which came first, but I think they’re on the same line due to the bergamot and cinnamon.

In short, it’s a night fragrance. It lasts five hours and is perfect for family events or going to a restaurant, nothing too formal. Rating 9/10 for price, scent, and longevity.

Smells great, very sweet (reminds me of Al Haramain Amber Oud GE when it dries down), but the downside is it fades very quickly. What a pity.

Nothing new, yet it’s spectacular. After all, it was created by a perfumer thinking about how a sexy man should smell to a woman. It smells clean, like a men’s shampoo. I love scents that evoke cleanliness with a hint of daring, sweetness without being cloying, masculine yet wearable by girls… Highly recommended.

One day I was with my girlfriend testing fragrances, and when she smelled this, she said: I LOVE THIS! and of course, she bought it. This Montblanc Emblem EDT is SEXY; women adore this kind of aroma in a man. It reminds me a lot of YSL La Nuit de L’Homme EDT. Well worth the price. Longevity and sillage are moderate; it’s for short distances, being close to people, ideal for romantic dates, the office, or the bank, etc. BEST REGARDS!

@byrgertidesson Amen. Plus, it smells like any air freshener from an Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister store. Thousands of fragrances have followed this absurd trend for years just to claim they smell ‘masculine’ or ‘pleasantly spiced’. Please admit that while I used to like it, once you know more of Montblanc’s offerings, recent ones seem lacking in quality. Starwalker or Individuel have more charm than this.

Those who say it smells of ambroxan, sweet and horrible like One Million, have confused the perfume. This is the most ignored and undervalued fragrance from Montblanc, but the truth is exquisite. At first spray, the cardamom and spices are very pleasant, and its second facet is an elegant, talc-like perfume, and I mean an elegant masculine talciness. With normal performance of 4 to 5 hours of projection depending on the skin. Good quality and cheap, definitely worth it.
