Which is better, Mont Blanc Explorer or Creed Aventus? Explorer is certainly a cheaper version of the Aventus DNA (which is probably regarded as the most popular mens niche fragrance in the world) but does it have the performance and quality of Creed. In this video I am comparing Mont Blanc Explorer to Creed Aventus and asking is it worth buying?

The reality is, 99 per cent of general public wouldn't even know you're wearing a very expensive niche fragrance. So Mont Blanc wins.

@mattislinx 4 года назад

You're absolutely right. Lets be honest thought. Many people who own Aventus like the idea of having an expensive fragrance and having cheaper "clones" doesn't sit well with them so they kind of shrug them off and say how they aren't as good for whatever reason. They know that it's expensive and most people won't have it. I personally don't care about that and i'm going to wear what I like.

@seekthetruths22 4 года назад

Even though Explorer is far from being original in its scent, it looks like Mont Blanc is moving lots of bottles of it. It's commanding pretty strong prices online and they're running out of stock on it all the time. The Aventus-like opening and the Sauvage-like dry down must be a good formula for mass appeal.

Based on my experience, Explorer reminds me of some of those covers that sound much better than the original! opening experience can be similar based on strong Bergamot but after 2/3 hrs Creed became more sweet and Mont blanc more earthy and spicy and definitely leathery. Unfortunately Creed didn't last more than 2 hrs on my skin meanwhile explorer lasted for at least 4 hours.

@harveytrevino2257 4 года назад

The thing about it is, in department stores like most American cities have, (Dillards, Macy's, etc.) Aventus doesn't exist, along with most clone houses. So for the average consumer, Explorer is going to be so different than anything currently available in their local markets. So it will be loved and cherished. Until they come across someone who knows what Aventus is, and then they will be like, "Oh, I got this for a bargain compared to Aventus." So they feel justified in their price and their purchase.

I can't talk about Creed Aventus cuz I d'ont know how it smells cuz I simply cant afford it, but I can tell you about Mont Blanc. To me it smells like how they describe aventus, its smokey pineappple and I love it. Very nice but downside of it as many have said it , is the performance, roughly 4-6 hours which for me considering the price as of now I paid for it 45 euros, is well worth it versus freaking 250 euros for aventus, fuck off.

The only time I have smelled or tried to smell Aventus was when I purchased Explorer. The salesman was wearing Aventus, but maybe he had a bad batch because I really could pick it up. I purchased Explorer because I just liked the fragrance not because it might smell like Aventus. I have only worn it once but so far longevity is fine and I run on the dryer side. In short I am not disappointed with Explorer. It seems like a good everyday fragrance. Admittedly, I will have to wear it more to see how the explorer story plays out.

have to completely disagree with you, explorer wins hands down by far, aventus is proper weak now, you have the 2016 comparing which isnt fair, if you compared with recent batches then mont blanc lasts just as long, you seem to have hate towards mont blanc, maybe because it is a company. aventus is very poor now and not worth the money. i work in the perfume shop and explorer does very well so its clearly a very good fragrance. again you cant really fairly compare a frag which is £200 odds to a fragrance that is not even qaurter of the price, aventus is no longer number 1 because of being reformulated to bits to the extent that its not even worth £100. i cant help but think you had your niche head on while doing this video, no hate but being completely honest 👍

@FRAGMENTAL 4 года назад

I was simply making a comparison to my 2016 Aventus as I don't have a current batch. Forgetting price, my Aventus is a better scent than Explorer (in my humble opinion). I don't think I expressed any hate towards Mont Blanc, I think they're a great brand and I stated that I feel Explorer is a nice scent and that it would sell very well for the company. I don't have a 'niche' head or a 'designer' head. I just call it how it is regardless of brand or price. I present the information and the viewer can weigh up which might be the most worthwhile purchase based on my experience (and hopefully other reviewers too).

Sorry, but I totally disagree with your review. I can't afford a full bottle of Creed Aventus, but after smelling some at the Shops at Caesar's finally last year, I had to have some. So I bought a little 5ml decant on ebay. Later that year, Mont Blanc Explorer came out, and I immediately grabbed some of it. Honest comparison - I actually prefer Explorer over Aventus, and I actually get better longevity out of it. And the Creed I bought is legit - from a fairly big seller known for authentic frags. I love Mont Blanc fragrances - I also have Legend, and Legend Spirit which is SUBLIME - and I think they have hit a homerun with Explorer. It's my signature scent, and if it hits the discount bins like other MB fragrances, I will be overjoyed!

I’m able to afford Aventus if I’d like to buy it however with all the hype about it I’m steering further away from it every time a RU-vidr tells me everything in the same note range is a knockoff or just not as good wtf! I bought Mont Blanc explorer the other day and for me 100% a keeper! So much so that I went back to the mall and bought a back up bottle, the stuff is good check that real good! I left home for the gym at 4:30 got there about 5 worked out for 4 hours then went to work all night got out at 6am and driving home was still smelling explorer, no bullshit, it wasn’t projecting but it was clearly doing great on skin and my car smelled intoxicating all day and night! Awesome stuff, for that price it’s gonna be a mainstay in my collection 💯 Ps I own a boxing gym and train fighters, after hours in the ring the shit still smelled! No cap it’s legit!

Explorer is very similar to Aventus, not quite as citrussy in my opinion. Smells lovely BUT it's so weak! I have too put my nose right against it to smell anything after an hour or so. I got Aventus on my coat collar and i could still smell it 5 days later. Explorer maybe a good office scent where you don't want to overpower everyone.

@nickhopkins9965 4 года назад

I have creed, explorer, Mercedes-Benz select and Lamborghini Invincibile. They all smell great to me in fact I prefer some to creed. Explorer isn’t a clone I feel as it’s ingredients are different it’s a bit synthetic though, I prefer MB select spray a bit more on than usual and it last all day on me and has a great musty smell. Just testing Invincibile is a it’s smelling very better and better.

I'll mix supremacy silver , mont blanc explorer and zara rich leather and ill made the best creed aventus killer in a bottle. The punch of supremacy silver the mellow and smoothness of explorer and the juicyness pineapple of rich leather. It really awesome

I am newer to high end perfumes, and it is now January 2021, so it may be because my batch of Aventus is new (20B11N) but I don't see these being very far apart. Definitely in the initial hit, the Mont Blanc has a more synthetic chemical character but both are very pineapple. I have felt disappointed that my Aventus batch is definitely almost uncomfortably sweet pineapple. In the dry down, there is very little difference. I certainly smell a bit more complexity in the Aventus, but in a blind comparison, I would have a hard time telling the difference, it's certainly there, but the average person won't know the difference. I think to other than frag head noses, the Aventus is probably not worth the extra cash, at least not for the newer batches. In longevity, Aventus definitely lasts longer, and Explorer is more synthetic over time but not so much as the price difference would justify.

If you took a bottle of creed aventus , put it in a different bottle , with a different name and said it was a 30 dollar fragrance not many people would think twice .. I bought a decant of it and wore it a few times and the only thing I liked about it was that I was wearing a really expensive cologne . It was not what I was expecting at all

@tyler01durden01 4 года назад

I think if you own and enjoy Creed, but recognise £270 reserves the fragrance for social/special occasions, having Mont Blank as well for workplace rotation or just wearing for myself at home, it makes it a worthy purchase. I’d rather it not exist because you’ll now get that DNA in the air more often and the mystique of Aventus is lost slightly. I’m glad I bought Mont Blank. It was very cheap and I view it as a back up of sorts, one that i’ll reach for often and save the king for when I want the confident feeling you get with wearing a niche fragrance.

@MattJames37 2 года назад

I had both fragrances, I feel so weird typing this... I prefer the explorer at the moment, maybe its the newer batches of aventus. But I've given the aventus to a family member who will enjoy it it more, as it lasts around 2-3hrs. Explorer as the name kind of implies it goes further in terms of longevity around 5-6hrs and if it breaks when you are travelling for work I wont be that broken up about it because of that price tag. But lets be real, I just use Sauvage Elixir these days 2 sprays and your good for 24hrs.

After reading comments I think that Aventus is just way too expensive and not worth buying. If it was 1/2 or even 1/3 of its original price it might be the best selling fragrance on the market.

Aventus is the most over-rated mediocre fragrance. I don't know how Mont Blanc's Explorer could be of lesser quality, considering Aventus smells like a £9.99 drugstore fragrance.

@jasonpaulelder 4 года назад

I have a funny story to tell about Explorer. When it first was made available to me, locally, I was compelled to see how it compared - and, actually hoping that it wasn't going to take the uniqueness out of wearing Aventus on a broader basis. When I got a spray sample from a friendly girl who was working at the counter, I told her that I didn't think (at least in the five minutes that I was there) that it reminded me too much of Aventus to be considered a clone. Since Creed was not sold at this particular department store, she had never tried it. Thankfully, I had a decant on me, and sprayed it onto a card, saying, "Here, this is what I wear." When she brought the strip to her nose, her eyes lit up as she enthusiastically asked, "Oh, my God, can I keep this?" :D That was all of confirmation that I needed.

@mvr2579 4 года назад

I am sorry but I do not care if it is Aventus, Explorer or any Eau de Parfum opening note will never last more than a good 5 to 15 min if you are lucky. On Some skins 30 min is possible but it is rare. Now middle notes can last a good 2 to 4 hours and a good base EdP will probably about 4 to 6. Again there a few exception and chemistry with certain skins. Aventus in total maybe good 8 to 10 depending on batch. I rarely care about an opening note unless I am trying to put it on right before a good first impression. Usually more in a hierarchy work opportunity and not a date. For a first date the Middle note is more important to me. For a club the Base note is more important as I would be scouting early and probably with a group so need longevity.

@EricPollarrd 4 года назад

The question u wanna ask yourselves is what was the fragrance that smelled EXACTLY like Aventus in the 80's?? I distinctly remember the smell from my childhood which has led me to spend months trying to hunt it down, and finally found it to be Creed, but discovered it was only invented in 2010. Therefore what was the scent from the 80's?? Was it an original Creed that had to be discontinued after the new animal products laws came in? Or was it something completely else ?? I bet not one human can answer this...
