The intention

To create Montblanc Explorer, three outstanding talents from Givaudan have combined their expertise: Jordi Fernandez, Antoine Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux. Each of them brought their own knowledge of a specific ingredient and their emotional experience, both as a nose and a traveller, to this unique collaborative project. Together they have created an innovative olfactory pyramid, an invitation to embark on a real expedition to discover the most precious scents.

“I find this ingredient particularly luminous, like a young Mediterranean boy bursting with laughter: pure and eminently elegant. Bergamot is also an icon of Calabria and symbolises the light of this region. We wanted to infuse Montblanc EXPLORER with this unique atmosphere, synonymous with joy, light and refinement.”

“I love the fact that it takes time to truly understand all the richness of vetiver,” explains Olivier Pescheux. “It’s not a common or easy-to-access smell. It’s authentic, raw and earthy. Vetiver is a root with strong masculine accents: the combination of complexity and roughness gives it real virility.”
