Presence Mont Blanc for men

عطر رائع وفيه نفحات رجولية وجذابة

As others reviewers stated here, I also got a sharp-sweet opening with a lot of ginger & cinnamon thrown there. In the next 10-15 minutes it already combines the middle notes where the adding association of apple (zesty-fruity), sage (herbal spicy) and heliotrope produces an effect at least sickly-weird on my skin...
Not a truly oriental, neither a fresh-spicy one, it just seems to react different on other people's skin (aren't they all do that ?).
Unfortunatelly, this doesn't suit me at all, so I'll give it a 7/10 for weirdness (which, btw. sometimes it work for me also !).

Amazing cologne! It smells kinda like JPG Le Male on my skin, which I love! Even for a guy like me, with dry skin, this thing lasts and projects a lot!

love the simple bottle....LOVE the fragrance

This perfume has been my favorite perfume. I think it has everything to do with me.
It is absolutely excellent.
I am sorry that the bottle has been changed, since the former was much more cool. Still, for me this perfume is excellent.

عطری جالب مردانه مناسب برای آقایان در هر سن وسال
با دوامی خوب و رایحه ای دل انگیز
در فصول خنک مانند بهاروپائیز مخصوصا زمستان جذابیت بیشتری دارد

I bought this one back in 2005 in a airport shop flying for holiday. in a hurry i smelled a lot of frags... but this one stood out right away!
I liked this scent much!Trough out the vacation and after...
Its a fresh scent but has also like johngreenink mentioned before a deeper character & in my opinion very well balanced setting.
Sprayed it on before getting out being fresh and sophisticated and ends up woody and warm and its casual and gentlemen like...
big thumbs up for this one and i will def buy this one back. (seen it already for a low price :-)

Ive had a few months ago Mont Blanc Legend and i must say Legend is not half as good with telling a story then presence...

'Like a rare flower...' That's what someone described Presence as when I was wearing it once. This was in early summer when it hadn't gotten too warm yet. I think late Winter/Spring is perfect for this scent.

Don't be fooled by the sleek lines and high contrast packaging: This is actually not a watery/sea-side breezy kind of fragrance, but rather something very fresh, with bright acidity and pungent spices. Cinnamon, ginger, apples, mint - all of these are present in the opening. It mellows down to a slightly woody/green, and finishes green/amber.

This is an affordable scent that just about any guy can wear - makes a statement but not too loudly - great for everyday wear; highly recommended.

En mi opiniion un perfume calido...dlce y con olor a maderas...un eprfueme que bien aplicado genera reacciones...hasta hace poco el gucci 2 me recordo a este...aunuqe es et e menos complejo....un muy bue perfume para dias nublados o salidas nocturnas sociales...

Oriental ginger spicy. Opens with intenses acords of ginger and cinnamon. Both continues into the drydown, mixed with a light aroma of apple at the heart, and at the base, sandalwood, amber and a great and evident white musk, thats direct to me like vanilla. If i could snif the clouds in the sky, would be like the smell of Presence :)

I guess that all appreciations from frags come with a different skin type...

On me, this smells sweet but subtle. I sense the sillage tends to weaken very fast, within the first hour. After that, you can feel it on close contact, but not so close that you have to sniff the skin.

It's a very nice fresh-oriental frag, but if you don't like sweet (as I do :D), avoid this one: it's luxurious candy mint in a bottle.

I like it very much.

I had one bottle of it once back in 2002/2003. It is quite elagant but tends to be a bit overwhelming for hotter weather. It has a powdery smell, not too sweet but a bit strong. Use it with parcimony and it will give you a good smell on colder days. I am not buying it again though cause I just got a bit over with it.

Opens ginger fresh. Talc powder made for cologne, with an underlying subtle medicinal smell to it. I'd wear this on judgement day :-D It smells like an innocent baby surrounded with a couple of flowers in heaven... or at hospital.
Nice fragrance, formal, conservative, soft and dry.

cinnamon "screams" in this fragrance. But, is a awesome product. Buy and be happy! Presence and Individuel are the best fragrances of the brand.

at fist gingers and sour smell entered my nose, well a good feeling must say! i could also sense a lil jasmine and cinamon
which makes a gr8 combo in my opinion..
secondly i loved the bottle shape and color of the liquid! well overall a good perfume with fair lasting.. i would recommend it especially if u are seeking a
winter wear!

To me Mont Blanc thought about two well known perfumes to make two of its own: Joop! Homme and Jaipur Homme(this one I know thanks to the help of the reviewer hoelahoep). Individuel and Presence, respectively. Since is just a hint of the originals by these two, Presence is not remarkable like Jaipur, its oriental side is light compare to, and has a feeling that looks to be a signature by Mont Blanc, as seen in Individuel: an unnatural chord, almost medicinal, I can not describe it correctly. A hit here in Brazil among successful young adults (I think), easily recognizable.

Too much spicy,maybe because of cinnamon.

i find it a little bit medicinal. the smell is good and like many said it is suitable for formal kind of people...I'll enjoy wearing it in special occasions but honestly it is not a favorite of mine...

This is something special!it feels like Taj Mahal in a moonlit night with my soulmate.The drydown is amazing,very sophisticated stuff,musk and amber lit up the base notes pretty well.Got it today.

O Love it a lot. It's so confort. and clea. U feel like walking in the heaven. My ex girlfriend boght one of this just to remember me. She's so inteligente =P rsrs

One of my favs. Présence is comfortable, very peculiar and recognizable. And even though clearly made for those who wear blazers and ties, I find it totally cool on a jeans/T-shirt kind of guy, like me.

I don't get it when people complain there's too much cinnamon here. I mean, I don't deny there indeed is, but I think the cinnamon + cardamom combo is the soul of Présence, and what makes it stand out from other scents. Anyway, the spices don't scream around for that long. Within some 20 minutes, they're still present, but in low profile mode, well tamed by the musky base.

IMO this is the best offering by Montblanc, and the one closest to their branding strategies: gentlemanly and distinct, and very clear in communicating it. Oh, here I'm talking about perfumes only, not pens or watches.

Finally, I totally agree with both omega_69 and vertigo. This is THE scent to take a girl out for a fancy dinner or a couple of drinks. This is a scent for when you're in the mood to open doors for her, but still allow yourself to bust on her.

As vertigo said, it's a warm, sensual, gentlemanly scent. My fiance totally loves this one, as do I. This is the evening fragrance I reach for when we're going out for a nice dinner and drinks; it's my dressy fragrance.

I agree with ester: Too much cinnamon.It lacks "Finezza"

This is a very pleasing scent. it is spicy without being overly so and musky without being overly so. It smells more like an aromatic fougere to me - especially after it has had about half an hour on the skin. Citrus, spice, musk and wood are all nicely balanced.

this one broke the mold, when you talk about something different in the colgne game. Very Nice

Not very nice, but for the good of the

To me it's spicy, but not very oriental.
Warm and sensual, but doesn't lack strength and self-confidence.

It could be an autumn/winter day fragrance for a man over 25 or over 30 who likes to attract people, especially women. For a man who likes life, domination, competition, respects luxury and pleasures.
But the scent is not seductive - it's just suggestive.
The man who wears it enjoys life, in a "gentleman" manner.
