Inspired By HOMME EXCEPTIONNEL - MONTBLANC (Mens 394)

My second frag from Palermo, and their 'perfumer's alcohol' is so dominant, it takes over everything they're trying to mix into it. Palermo could have knocked this out of the park being a discontinued scent, but their raw materials barely peek through. It's not awful-awful, but it's not close to kinda-nice. One thing I will give them 2 stars for is presentation, the bottles are solid and they're well packed, but they need to start changing up their perfumer's alcohol recipe, it overpowers the ingredients and comes across like burnt ethanol. Lesson learned

not the smelling I remember

I have been looking for this online tirelessly and because it was discontinued it was hard to buy especially in Australia. I stumbled upon the replica scent on Palermo Perfumes and it smells exactly the same, and lasts a lot longer than the original as it is EDF not EDT. Definitely will be stocking up on this perfume!
