Individuel (2003)
by Mont Blanc

So I ordered this online after seeing many reviews and upon arrival the first thing that impressed me was the bottle. Very elegant and unique; classy. Great fragrance! To me it smells somewhat fruity and sweet but yet, classy. Others tell me they smell some vanilla and even some smell mint combination. I love it and get plenty of compliments from it. Great projection and longetivity. Thumbs up!

Have it, love it. Very elegant. I got this as a gift from a friend and then had to go out and buy myself a bottle when the first one ran out. I am now on my third.

Made a mistake of leaving the third bottle at a girlfriend's house. When I returned a couple of weeks later to pick it up, it was half empty: She had been dousing her pillows with Mont Blanc Individuel every night to remind herself of me.

I don't find it generic at all. It is easily recognizable, to my nose at least. Sillage is out of this world: Just right out fantastic. They smell you coming, and in a good way. Longetivity appears to be less outstanding. On me it lasts around 4 to 5 hours.

This is one of most excellent fragrance I've ever tried on!!! This is perfect for mid-30s businessmen....it's citrus sweetened, not too strong, very unique sexy scent and smells great.
I had a lot of complements from women because of it. Everyone should test on your own skin at least once in a lifetime.

This scent has three main pillars which are "floral citrus" pillar containing notes such as orange blossom and jasmine; "sharp cool" pillar containing notes such as mint and juniper berries; and a base note built around "amber-sandalwood-chocolate". Of course there are several other notes in the structure(violet and vetiver) but they aren't main players.
It opens in a very loud but pleasant and somewhat classy way. Honestly this is the best part of it. After a while it dries down to somewhat similar to Joop Homme.
I think the similarity with Joop Homme should be mainly due to the contrast of "citrus floral" pillar and "amber-sandalwood-chocolate" base. Which is very similar to the concept of Joop! Homme. The basic difference between this one and Joop! Homme comes from that "sharp cool" pillar which makes Individuel younger and more aggressive than Joop! Homme.
As someone could guess it is a super sweet and loud scent. This was among my favorites for a long time, which is the reason of writing such a long review for it!
It gets 8 out of 10 IMHO.

I'm definitely in love with this sexy, sensual fragrance. It's basically Joop! minus the tobacco, vanilla, and tonka bean. This notes in here are wonderfully blended into a sweet, light, and highly versatile scent that turns heads of the lovely ladies I encounter everywhere. A definite keeper in my collection forever.

This one is really good! It«s really close to Joop Homme, but lightned. Love fragrances with orange blossom. If you kinda enjoy Joop Homme but think it«s too much, give this one a chance. you might like it!
