Found a couple of hidden gems today......

Found a couple of Gems today at 50% Off in my local Fenwick store. Both were around £21 for 75ml.
Neither have great reviews, but I think they are both very good.




And




I am a big fan of Individuel, so this is now 3 of the Mont Blanc range that I am very impressed with.

Anybody else tried/got any opinions?

Thanks

Haven't tried these two, but I'll be the spokesman for Legend again. Great frag!!

Might have to give that a try then mate. I am impressed with Mont Blanc's range (well 3 of them)

Those are both fine scents. Worth having and wearing. My wife digs about all of the Mont Blanc range on me. The faves would be Presence and Individuel.

That is odd, my local House of Fraser has several bottles each of Presence, Starwalker and Individuel that have appeared and are about that price. I gave away my bottle of Presence recently, didn't think much of the Starwalker tester they had, but Individuel was very pleasant, just as everyone says, a smoother less potent Joop Homme.

Individuel is very close to Original Santal to my nose

That's very true. I've owned JOOP!, OS and Individuel and they're all very close.

I am also a fan of Individuel and Presence. I am completely unfamiliar with Starwalker - I will have to hunt that one down and give it a try!

Does Fenwick stock Indivuel? I know none of the department stores do. I heard they also stock Pure Malt? I'm in England and funnily enough have never been into Fenwick but if they stock stuff other shops don't it should be worth a visit.

Homme Exceptionnel is probably the best from the line; a tamer version of Gucci PH IMHO..

Yes they do mate and this is also 50% off. My local Fenwicks has a huge selection of frags Inc Crreed and other niches.

No Pure Malt though

Individual is very good IMO. The 2 I tested today (just on my wrist) I can still smell now (9 hours later)

I get a good 8 hours from Legend (more if I add a spray to my chest--I usually just do each wrist). It's been awhile since I've worn Individuel...but I seem to remember 6+(?)
