Montblanc Legend Men Eau de Parfum

Product Information

Legend eau de parfum starts off with a pretty strong violet leaf note, some bergamot, and leather. It’s fresh and somewhat green, with what I’m guessing is their synthetic oakmoss substitute. There’s really not much going on here, it feels pretty flat. Exceptional! Montblanc Legend EDP still lingered on my skin after nine to ten hours. What’s Special About The Bottle? LEGEND EAU DE PARFUM by Montblanc is a fragrance for men that is included in the Oriental Woody family. The reinterpretation of the LEGEND Eau de Toilette fragrance, which reveals the elegance and sophistication of the active man. If you’re a fan of Legend Eau de Toilette and you’re looking for an intense, bold and mysterious fragrance, you’ll love the enhanced and concentrated aroma of Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum. As a connoisseur of this line, I can start by saying that between the EDT and the EDP, the latter is clearly ahead. Even compared to the Emblem, another one I've had, the Legend EDP turns out to stand out.

Legend EDP is about the same. The violet leaf and leather doesn’t really change when it can be worn compared to the EDT version. The leather isn’t that intense and the violet leaf works pretty much year round.I wish the leather was given more of a role versus the violet leaf. That would have given it more distinction and a bit more personality than it has. The performance is solid, just not incredible.

Between these two? I’d rather wear the EDT. Again, I’m not even much of a fan of Legend, but it at least has some more personality. The EDP is closer to A&F Fierce or Egoiste Platinum, than is the EDT, but isn’t as good as either of those fragrances. Legend opens with a blend of pineapple, bergamot, and apple. It is clean, but doesn’t have the same type of sharpness, as it is calmed by lavender and tonka bean. It also has a dry underlying aroma from the base, that will become more prominent later on. Pleasant and fresh smell, right on top. The bergamot stands out in an initial phase, but minutes later comes the scent of very smooth leather, with a light but elegant touch of cedar. It doesn't smell like animal leather, far from it, it's almost aromatic. Even the notes of wood are very delicate.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

Mont Blanc Legend is a very versatile scent and that’s definitely one of its strengths. It can be worn year round and fits in, within all environments. It is attractive enough for dates, can go out for an evening, but doesn’t have that massive club beast persona. Confident and assured, the LEGEND man lives his feelings, courage, and convictions. Yet without saying a word, we sense his purpose, charisma, and authenticity; Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum invites all men to challenge themselves and to discover what kind of a Legend they are.

SENSITIVE AND WITH CHARACTER. Although they seem two contradictory characteristics, Legend shows us that they can go hand in hand, their aroma allows us to discover our most sensitive and romantic side and perfectly balance it with strength and impetus. Notes include: Bergamot, Pineapple Leaf, Sandalwood, Apple, rose, oak moss, lemon verbena, geranium, lavender, And Tonka Bean

This essence was created in 2020 by the same perfumer as its predecessor: Olivier Pescheux, in it, its creator wants to convey to us the contrasts that make it a unique work, such as softness and strength, tenderness and seduction, or simply, warmth and cold. All these sensations magnified and enhanced with a new concentration. Which is better? I’m not a huge fan of the original Legend, but I like the opening act more so than the EDP. It has way more personality. The EDP just sits there as a giant dose of violet leaf on my skin, with some additional notes lurking around, but not really standing out. I’d say that both of these are moderate. I know EDP has the higher concentration, but it doesn’t feel any stronger when I compare it to the original. The sillage is about the same at its peak. Maybe EDP goes a little longer with its strength, but that’s about it.
