Legend Red
Legend Red by Montblanc is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2020 in the designer price tier. It opens with blood orange, grapefruit and cardamom, moves into cedarwood, clary sage and juniper berry and dries down to atlas cedar, teakwood and tonka bean. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Dry-down
- Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
- Teakwood Warm, dry and slightly smoky. Furniture-shop woodiness.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
