If there were a top-10 cheapest pleasant fragrances list, Montblanc Starwalker must be on it. A perfume that gets makes a bad day good. Uniquely fresh and clean, the bamboo note is very different to anything else I have smelled. Wearing this with a tshirt and sweat pants would seem improper. Starwalker has a vintage 90s freshness to it that works well, the only issue is the performance is seriously lacking. This is what you want in a hot heavy humid weather. It is pleasant and has light projection and longevity. Just lighter than both of those. It smells like Hugo Boss Energise for men. Not a bad fragrance at all its just not anything special. I think if you got a job interview definitely wear this! Reminds me of fresh clean laundry in the best possible way. A perfect scent for any occasion but rocking this in the summer is surreal. Lets add up all the factors of why this should be in your collection and why Mont Blanc was foolish for discontinuing it: BoergeSmalls - I agree this opens up EXACTLY like Lalique White - but on the drydown they diverge; Lalique stays on the spicy, citrus path but the bamboo really stands out on this when it dries down. But That's ok considering its safe to wear. I like this fragrance quite a bit. Amazing fragrance, reminds me of the early 2000s when i was on the university and going out to nightclubs and bars a lot, somehow forgot about it for more than 10 years until the other day i smelled it and it brought up so many good memories i had to buy a bottle, and it was 40% off so i ended up buying 2 bottles LOL. I can see myself wearing it all year long. I gotta admit I didn't see (or smell) this coming when I bought it. Longevity and sillage are moderate and it's definitely not weak on me. But the dry down is pretty good. To me Starwalker is the best of the Mont Blanc collection. This fragrance in my opinion has similar notes to those two, but also slightly different. Es un poco sinttico para m gust pero es bastante masculina y fresca. This really is a lovely fresh classy fragrance. Spray it on.and 2-3 hours later it's gone. Definitely one of the nicest citrus/fruity fragrances in the world, it really is! performance is terrible but smells very clean and typical. But, it is not the same fragrance. Seems to last about four hours on my skin and remains potent on fabric for twenty-four hours and beyond without discoloration. A very soapy, inoffensive scent that comes across as a much lighter version of Encre Noire Sport. Similarly, its longevity is completely unacceptable, this scent is gone in about 1 hour. It isn't the type that will blow you away, nor is it extremely unique, but I reach for this so often that I had to leave a review. Could be worn day or night & even formally. The subtle fragrances can be very alluring. Better for warmer weather. Basically and instant skin scent which isn't always a bad thing personally. good for summer time. Albeit weak performance. Its unique too. Synthetic to the point where it reminds me of a cheap dollar store scented candle. I dont care if its synthetic because it smells so good. Happy times. This is a great daytime fragrance. Good price and decent preformance, First: If you own Versace fresh ! So, why should you buy this? Not great but not horrible. However the smell is really addicted and a soft one and I really love it. I think It will please most regular people as well as the most jaded and elitist of frag heads. It deserve more than this. The mandarin is perceptible. I love it but won't buy a new bottle i'm afraid. Opens with vibrant, mildly sweet citrus, then warms up slightly and develops a soft woody, masculine character. I always have to remind myself how much I like this stuff. It's always nice to have a few freshies that are pleasant and inoffensive to dumb reach in the summer heat. Cocok dipakai buat yang sering naik angkutan umum. But don't overspray this at high summer heat or you will get headache through the day.. 3 spray is good to go.. And oh ya.. Great scent. Starwalker aftershave is the same as the EDT with minor differences. If you want others to smell you, spray heavy (at least 15 times, not exaggerating). Relaxing. There is something sour about the opening that I wasn't a huge fan of, but it disappears quickly. Don't sniff it very closely right after sprays. Great fragrance for Office Job or casual days. Another great alternative to blue shower gel freshies & summertime sweeties. Deserves some kind of award for creativity. Seems like same ballpark of few other frags I already own so not unique (Zegna Uomo, ADIDAS moves). Perfect scent you can wear for any time day or night!! Not the best either but like everyone else is saying it's good for the price point. It is not unpleasant, but in any case that does not last long. Not a bad scent at all. It is a Wonderful Fresh Fragrance, Light, Clean and Bright with Unique Bamboo note. I have 3 Mont Blanc fragrances-Individuel, Legend Intense, Starwalker-and I absolutely love all of them! Best blind buy ever!!!! Just a pleasant everyday go- to for a sunny warm day. The only thing i regret is that i bought the 50ml bottle because this will probably become my signature perfume. I thought it's just at the opening, but it come all the way to the dry down. To me, this is a perfect rainy day scent. I would wear this mostly for warmer weather over colder months. It's a casual day scent that works well in warm weather. I get light citrus with a very subtle ginger and sandalwood following. Not totally grossjust not something I want to smell like. However, I do like it. It is not mysterious or anything just clean and fresh. A TRULY WAR HORSE, WEARABLE ANY TIME AT ANY SEASON, NICE AROMA, AVERAGE SILLAGE AND LONGEVITY. I don't understand the hype , smells nice but nothing new , the performance sucks too. My lady absolutely loves when I wear it and can't stop going in for whiffs haha. Groundbreaking? Clean scent. On my skin on top the bamboo gives it a refreshing airy smell w/ a hint citrus. A cheapie that lives up to the hype for sure! The opening is very nice, and the middle and drydown are quite similar and linear, but that's a good thing because when you want to reapply, it is like continuing your scent without having to wait for a strong blast to go away like some others. If you're planning on going on a date bringing a girl close to you she will definitely get this scent however if you were going to pick up a girl and not get extremely close she may not smell it. $20 for 50ml of solid juice. Besides the bamboo there is this peppery smell to balance thar just find it so appealing. Starwalker doesn't project at all, doesn't last longer than an hour, and is only useful for the gym. Very reasonable price though, so no problem reapplying if needed. When was Starwalker Extreme ever released? Light bright airy fresh clean pleasant scent. Not really a night scent. Starwalker opens with a sweet bamboo and citrus before settling into an airy mandarin heavy fresh scent. Unfortunately Starwalker Extreme is NOT AT ALL similar to the originals bamboo citrus scent. This actually isn't bad for the price you can find it for right now, like $20 or under, and I think it's discontinued? Very versatile, with an intimate type of projection. So that really kills the potential for this one. It smells like car perfume for me, it genuinely does. Trust me, I absolutely hate aquatics and the aromachemical "calone", which is used in most aquatics. Reminds me a lot of Encre Noire Sport, only slightly more mild. I purchased it immediately excited to try since I found this original Starwalker while poor projection and longevity, its an inoffensive nice close-to-skin scent good enough for office & daywear. I've using this perfume for a couple of time but the longetivity is not so great I think I'm not sure for others but it can't beat the longetivity of my invictus. Is it weird that I actually would love to smell this on my girlfriend? Unpleasant to wear. Love it so much, very enjoyable. As far as smell goes this is one of my all time favorites, im addicted to the smell. Heard it was discontinued and saw it was $40 online at some places so went to pick it up an extra at Tjs where there were a few left. But if you ask others if hey can smell it i believe they will tell u its still there i would think a realistic average should get at least 4hrs. In a big collection, I can't see what's the occasion for this to be used, except you want to express feelings like those. But with a welcome subtlelty given it's a skin scent. Performance isn't that great but can always reapply it over again. Starts off with orange and bergamot with softer bamboo at first. The only downfall is the week sillage and does not last that long. Not too much expensive but just right for formal wear for business. Good value. I give this a 9.6/10. My gf LOVES this, its strange. Gonna have to pass on this one. Encre has more of a "bite", but very very similar. I absolutely love this scent, it is refreshing, stimulating and soothing a true breath of fresh air. I put it in the same vibe as nautica voyage, however, this is a different unique fragrance whereas Nautica formula is used in a lot of fragrances. Lovely fresh smell! It kinda smells like Versace Man Eau Fraiche but has a calming nature to it that I really enjoy. Unique bamboo scent. Having owned and used this fragrance heavily for nearly a year, I can say that I was expecting more from this fragrance. Drydown is as excellent as the initial bloom. Its kind of similar to Invictus and Sauvage put together but with date night fragrance performance. Another formal occasion scent from Mont Blanc. To me it's not a "must-own" fragrance. This is also a very safe fragrance u could buy without offence anyone around you..i will suggest everyone should add this to their collection if you are into fragrance game. I think Starwalker sits somewhere between Versace Fraische and Acqua Di Gio. Read about this perfume in other languages: Deutsch, Espaol, Franais, etina, Italiano, , Polski, Portugus, , , Nederlands, Srpski, Romn, , , , . Agree with the "citrus and dry" comments made. It is far too light with 3 hours longivity and weak projection. It has that fresh, clean, and airy sweetness that Eau Fraiche has, but with a woody bamboo twist. Does anyone know why that is? Perfume is such a personal experience that one has to take the full journey before passing judgment. This fragrance gives me a nice clean fresh and Soapy vibe, sort of like leaving the barbershop. This will not offend anyone at all. Never loud, never showy, never opinionated. Unlike my female sweet floral fresh perfumes, this one isn't cloying sweet. shorter lasting but cheaper version of versace man eau fraiche. The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Almairac. The juice is a Legend.. but Starwalker fits better. It smells cute if you ask me but in a good way. Then it becomes this smooth relaxing smell. It is just good, longevity moderate, lasting acceptable, when it gets dry its smell could me annoying on clothes. Not bad. And that's what this one is with the bamboo of course coming through as the "star"note, but also the dry down is great with the fir tree resin and Amber with the white musk bringing beautiful scent that stays with me almost the entire day. Good cheapie. Super pleasing fresh scent at a really affordable price. I have to agree, at first spray there's a slight Versace Man eau Fraiche vibe. Bought me a bottle and I have been using it for layering with Versace Fraiche, Sauvage, light blue intense, goo etcyou do have to spray alot but I dont mind. Montblanc Starwalker is like that quiet dependable friend. Won't disappoint. I bought this on a whim when I was buying a family member a Montblanc pen for Christmas last year. I am wearing for the 1st time; I would say is a nice fragrance, but not outstanding, and as someone said below: is not really for special occasion, just to get you trough the day. Projection, sillage and longevity is above average. Opening smells identical as Ferrari Light Essence and then imagine you added some ginger and spicy smell on it. Although its opening is fresh, elegant and pleasant, the fragrance has one of the worst projections out there, it sits very close to the skin. It's rare to find a scent this attractive. ezzedeen.widyanarto.ironhide.wibowo10/25/16 01:40, Perfumes: 73,913 I think ultimately, it is all about what you want to get out of a fragrance. Fleeting almost like how Chanel fragrances are. Okay I do love this fragrance very much so but what I want to know is why hasn't anyone posted anything about starwater extreme? This is fresh, clean, watery, effervescent and playful at the same time. A perfume that is not strong to the nose but gives you a fresh punch. Fragantica, parfumo or even basenotes. Starwalker is very woody as well, but it has more citrus to balance it out. Reminds me of a cheaper, bamboo-leaning Dior Homme Sport, but Starwalker is of a inferior quality and goes in a slightly different direction. I blind bought this fragrance due to good reviews in Fragrantica. Then the heart with woods with amber throughout. It's opening reminds me of Abercrombie fierce in alot of ways. On my first few wearings of this fragrance I really didn't understand how everyone was detecting similarities between this and Versace Man Eau Fraiche. I think it suits him, though, and he seemed to be happy to receive a second. Starwalker is more masculine while the other is more unisex. Online right now: 2,987, Fragrantica in your language: If you need a smell to try to reproduce spring morning freshness then Montblanc Starwalker could be probably one of the closest attempt. The longevity is AMAZING. I mostly use this on the summer after a shower or with my relatives that can't stand perfumes. I love it. Opening was very similar to versace man eau fraiche while dry down pretty similar to versace ph. Starwalker is really gorgeous. The bamboo is amazing, definitely my favorite from Mont Blanc. Cool lid too! Starwalker is a delightful well blended woody/citrus scent. Pity it completely disappears within an hour, which makes such a cheap fragrance seem quite expensive due to its poor performance. This is one of the best fresh fragrances you can get. There is nothing out of place here. I would recommend it. One of the freshest green scents out there. I love this scent quite a bit and the more I have worn it in these warmer days I love it even more. Opening dari parfum ini kurang saya sukai, tapi setelah beberapa menit barulah parfum ini menjadi penyemangat saya. It smells very similar to Versace Man Eau Fraiche, but is much easier to wear. The sillage also not so good I think. The latest bottle seems to have more of a citrus smell? Very aquatic! Also sense a bit of synthetic vibe with this one but no complain looking at the price. It is unique but not in any way that calls attention to it. To me, this is a mix of Versace Man Eau Fraiche and Versace Pour Homme. I pick up the mandarin orange, bergamot and sandal wood notes and its really nice. On my skin I get 4-6 hours with 8-10 sprays. An unusual and refined fresh scent; modern yet with a classic undertone. I use it after an evening shower in the warmer months. I find it quite vexing that Starwalker has such positive reviews. When he told me it was starwalker I was shocked. Are we all gonna ignore that Starwalker Extreme exists and started to appear in discount stores??? It is a lovely scent, unfortunately it doesn't last. It was inexpensive on the discount market, so what the heck. Every fragrance collection needs a bottle of Montblanc Starwalker. Something about the way the bamboo, citruses, and sandalwood react to the hot humid air during a rainstorm is magical. .Yep, still not impressed. Fragrantica Inc, United States. The smell is lovely, light and fresh. It smells like something Hugo Boss could have released. I'm 26 years old and this doesn't smell dated at all knowing this hit the shelves in 2005. The bamboo gives this fragrance such a beautiful, mysterious/ethereal quality that is truly unique (at least to my nose). This is a big bang in perfumery, excellent 10/10 in all, wow! So if thats something that interest you, definitely look no further. For the price and quality of the scent, I strongly recommend. Yes, this reminds me of pencils, freshly shaved ones. The more you sweat, the more delicious your body smell. Smells a bit metallic, too. clean, fresh, pleasant, safe scent. Nice smell. As inoffensive as it is, this is more of a scent for you to enjoy, not the others around you. Totally worth $20 @ TJ's! Wearing it in the office today, 10 Jun 2019. Second, all I got was citrus from beginning to end on my skin. Ive had a couple mont blancs in th past and this might be my favorite among all although at first it wasnt my first choice, it kinda grw up on me. It smells like a super strong body wash like Prada Luna Rossa Sport, fresh out of the shower. I put some on and can detect skin scent almost 24 hours later. The performance is very moderate and linear. It would be a nice office fragranceif it had some longevity. After 8 hours it's still going strong. I do recommend you to try this if you live in a country where the weather is hot & humid all day long. When I blind bought this, I was looking for a clean, fresh, woody unisex scent. This is a perfect fragrance for a good looking guy. All-in-all, the bamboo wins in my nose. Love the smell, hate the performance. If you smell this fragrance right off your skin you can pick up notes of bamboo, bergamot with mandarin which turns into a nice warm cedar wood with hints of spices like a black pepper note which means that you can wear this scent in the early fall months when the leaves are beginning to change color and maybe even fall but not much longer after that. I don't see anybody wearing this getting much positive feedback. After the success of Individuel for Men, from 2003, Mont Blanc decided to change a bit the course of its male perfumery, offering something more refreshing to its audience. Towards the mid I get more of a Versace Pour Homme Vibe. Can apply heavy, scent tapers off quickly. It's very odd to my nose. Yes, the smell will remind you of Versace Eau Fraiche but Starwalker is more on woody side with the presence of bamboo notes & sandalwood where Versace Eau Fraiche on the oceanic side. However can't stand the bamboo note. When I first tried this, thoughts of being outside in the hot sun on the pool side tanning came to my mind. I don't know what bamboo is supposed to smell like but if it's anything like this then count me in! I want to like this one so much. After I use up this bottle I will not purchase again. I mostly use this as something to throw on when im just sitting outside in the heat, but can definitely be used at work or school. I don't give a f*** if any of the notes in this smell synthetic. I just wish it was 100ml and not 75ml but it's still a great affordable fragrance. Not sorry I bought it, just wish it was a lot stronger. I can name dozens that people rave about that are synthetic. Literally no projection at all with this. If you're looking for a pleasing calming fresh scent to just wear whenever and you don't mind the performance (I get like 5 hours which isn't too bad imo) then I think you would enjoy this for sure, especially at the price point it's at. I am getting another bottle of this soon as I keep this in my spring/summer rotation. just got this because its cheap and i dont mind blind buying 20 bucks.
