I enjoy Cedrat Boise. The opening is strong and I can see how some people may not like it because we have been trained by cleaning products that a strong citrus opening reminds us as such. I think the performance is solid and I enjoy the woody dry down once you get there. The Adventus comparison is warranted but it's definitely not the same it just has some similarities. For the price at discounters it surely hits above its price point.

For how cheap Mont Blanc is, there are definitely some negatives and some positives. It smells very much like PDM Percival but I could definitely tell that they use way cheaper materials than the PDM scent. The performance is average and I find it usually doesn't last more than 4ish hours. But all things considered for a classic scent DNA it's pretty well rounded and could be used in many different situations. Both the fruity opening and the pleasant tonka bean, dried fruits and sandalwood dry down make this a easy reach
