Présence Cool (2002)
by Mont Blanc

out of the 3 mb's i own (individuel and presence) i wonder. what was he aiming for this being a limited edition that's been in production since 2001? puzzling. anyway a very safe run of the mill 15 minute scent,if that!! oxygen and salt as mid notes. come on mont.still a decent scent but no power or originality.

An aquatic spice that's dull? Hah! This one takes the cake. Mmm, cake. I'd rather have some cake.

From Montblanc website
Top: Italian Bergamot, Granny Smith Apple, Watery Bamboo
Mid: Oxygen Accord, Geranium, Salt, Jasmine
Base: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Musk, Tonka, Amber

There is quite a synthetic ambiance with this fragrance—synthetic, uber-sweet, light, and short lasting. Again I wonder why Montblanc has chosen to go for the younger crowd with their attempts at fragrance. Bergamot, apple and, they say, bamboo in the opening; jasmine and salt for heart notes—but the presentation of both the top and the middle notes is muddled and synthetic, and the permanent synthetic tang (not entirely unattractive) makes the fragrance seem quite linear: The synthetic tang just doesn’t go away—even in the wood / amber dry down. A very mediocre fragrance...

The scent is too soapy and there is a kind of spiciness in it which is not tolerable. But not so bad! I used it for a period of time, it is very strong and long lasting with good sillage. Neutral, because I think the perfumers didn't finish their job! It seems that they had a very good idea but left it in half way!

It seems to be very soapy, I Bought it blind. I Was very Impressed by the writing goods made by this brand. There are better fragrances. It doesn't last more than 30 minutes.
