Montblanc Explorer EDP, 60ml $145.

The thrill of adventure helps boost the boredom of everyday life for anyone, and now it's bottled for you to enjoy. Montblanc’s latest fragrance, Explorer, unlike the luxe-y leather goods is affordable and accessible. With on spritz, it allows any man to tap into his sense of adventure (and smell great) wherever his journey takes him.

Here's what you can expect when you lift the lid.

The ingredient list has been sourced from just about every corner of the world. Bergamot from Italy, vetiver from Haiti, and rich, warm patchouli from Indonesia. That lineup is blended with the culinary herbs, sage, and pink pepper, to create what is called a woody aromatic scent. It's undeniably fresh, but after a few hours, it settles on the skin to leave a warm, exotic, musky aroma, courtesy of sweet cocoa, and Ambroxan, (the synthetic blend of musk and amber).

 
This scent takes you on a sensory journey, much like the thrill you get when you travel to an unknown destination.
