Legend
Legend by Montblanc is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2011 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, lavender and pineapple, moves into red berries, apple and rose and dries down to tonka bean, sandalwood and oakmoss. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Heart
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
