The Golden Ratio. An icon survived by his rival!
Montblanc Individuel is for me personally a no-brainer in the collection.
Such a fragrance I a YouTuber Nachgekauft have, and immediately at the first sniff knew, "Hey wow,.... there's really something to it!!! The is really special!"
Over a longer period of time I thought that it is an homage or copy of Creed's Original Santal, which also imposes itself on you if you had to guess it only by smell, since Original Santal smells somehow more natural and a bit higher quality.
However, it is not!
Individuel: anno 2003
Original Santal: anno 2005
However, I did not care anyway, because Individual smells more interesting for me, it just moves more in me. Even if it is something more chemical / artificial, - or maybe just because of it?
What smells individual?
Hui... so with this list of notes, as long as the Old Testament, this is really a challenge to describe it! :D
I would say the raspberry plays a very central role, around which everything revolves. It is surrounded by sweet, floral, woody, and spicy notes, but there are so many and different that it is really hard for me to smell them out individually.
Let's say fruity sweet, so a slight amber impact, a little sticky, a little "alien" so alien / chemical. Also fresh, actually not so little! It is only not so noticeable since the sweetness yet radiates more strongly, and there are so "many small" fresh notes, which puzzle together here.
And in sum smells Individuel somehow so typically masculine-Cologne artig, so it just feels very much like a confident, sexy signature fragrance.
A little mistery, but present, with great charisma, and yet not overbearing.
The Individuel lover likes to wear his fragrance often, it's also such a grab-and-go thing. Fits in really every season and temperature, and to most situations. To the funeral it is perhaps a little too "happy", but otherwise goes really everything. So in the office you will make with it quickly times a few new friendships. ;)
Unfortunately, Individuel has now been finally discontinued after a long time on the market, it is also no longer listed on the manufacturer's site. (I guess but in some online stores you'll still find it here and there..)
Anyway I understand it, because even if it is very timeless, fragrances like Explorer, or Legend are simply more modern, and "do" what similar. But are somewhat easier to grasp in their DNA, for the masses.
I still find Individuel is really unique, almost a kind of highlight from the house, it is olfactory a bit like the golden ratio of this fragrance for me.
Just perfect!
I would think of Joop Homme now, which is also somewhat similar, but Joop Homme is much more striking for my taste. (Le Male Vibe) It smells much more like "broad masses", you immediately think "I know him yet.". And maybe a little youthful...
Individual is just... more individual. ;)
So a fragrance where you are constantly asked what the good, with nervousness in the voice of the counterpart, it would be but also like so individual. ;D
It should be said that I prefer designer fragrances mostly Nichendüften, but I find Individuel just has the "certain something", I know some that resemble, but none that resembles.
So the name is 100% accurate for me. The flacon shapely, clear, and yet practical, - you just like to take him in hand!
Durability and silage are for me very good to outstanding.
I remain in any case forever Individuel(l)! :)
