What do reviewers say about Santal 33 and Mont Blanc Explorer Platinum?
This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
It's a clean fragrance that doesn't apologize for being clean. Some will want more edge, more bite. But the violet leaf and clary sage together create something that's green without being aggressive.Mont Blanc Explorer Platinum
