About this deal

There’s nothing all that new with the eau de parfum, to make it a must have versus the original. I don’t think it smells any better and the performance, isn’t that much better.

The leathery character of this scent is intensely masculine. Originally created from actual scrap leather infused with burnt birch peel, a leather accord is now primarily birchbark essence free of animal-based products. When this particular product is first applied, bergamot and violet leaf come to the fore. Next middle notes of jasmine, woody notes and magnolia burst on to the scene. Finally a billow of oak moss and leather climbs to round out the olfactory experience. Montblanc Perfumes: Pricing 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. 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. 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.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. 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.

Notes include: Bergamot, Pineapple Leaf, Sandalwood, Apple, rose, oak moss, lemon verbena, geranium, lavender, And Tonka Bean 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. Montblanc Legend EDP plays with three addictive fragrance families: woody, aromatic and fougere. From the very first spritz, the Eau de Parfum awakens the senses with an energising bergamot note and fresh violet leaves. The heart contains a bouquet of florals, including magnolia, geranium and heady jasmine for a touch of elegance as the scent warms into a new vibrant woody core. The Eau de Parfum finishes with a captivating trail of sensual leather and oak moss that’s reminiscent of the forest floor. PROJECTION TOWARDS THE FUTURE. Although classic in style, Legend describes a man with ideas for the future, ambitions and goals to achieve. A man who does not settle for mediocrity and seeks excellence in all aspects of his life.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. 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. 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. 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. Exceptional! Montblanc Legend EDP still lingered on my skin after nine to ten hours. What’s Special About The Bottle?
