At first glance, Meisterstück is a somewhat unusual name. Yet today it is world-famous. It is the reference name of Montblanc's celebrated pen. This pen has contributed very significantly to establishing the house's reputation. It has made Montblanc a symbol of excellence and quality.
The house of Montblanc takes pleasure in offering fragrances that trace the features of men as much as their magnificent pens. With Legend, composed by Olivier Pescheux in 2011, the house offered these gentlemen a sophisticated and chic fragrance while highlighting the fine complexity of their various facets of personality. The year 2017 brought a new flanker of this great vintage of perfumery under the mysterious and so tempting name of Legend Night.
When perfumers Olivier Pescheux and Antoine Maisondieu join their talents for Montblanc's Legend Night
When Olivier Pescheux composed Legend, he intended it particularly for lovers of the famous Meisterstück, the flagship and precious pen of the Montblanc range. Men who love the Meisterstück are men who write their lives with elegance and distinction, but without ostentation and above all without any luxury other than that of quality and artisanal craftsmanship. Legend was thus written with contrasting facets between intense warmth and freshness, which corresponded entirely to the personality of these gentlemen with such distinguished handwriting.
Other fine flankers of Legend followed over the years, always signed by the talents of Olivier Pescheux. This time, however, for the creation of Legend Night, the one who composes a fragrance as one writes a musical score met the one who describes himself as a Pompeii fresco, Antoine Maisondieu!
From the talents of these two men was born the fine composition of Legend Night, which delights in playing now with fresh sonatas, now in lulling us with warm, colorful symphonies. The meeting between these two perfumers could only be explosive and truly creative, since both Olivier Pescheux and Antoine Maisondieu take pleasure in creating fragrances of emotion that are both innovative and strongly characterful.
Legend Night, or the subtlety of the fragrant marriage between burning woody accords and floral, aromatic freshness
Between Legend, born in 2011, and Legend Night, born in 2017, the difference lies mainly in the raw materials used in the heart as well as in the depths.
Indeed, Antoine Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux chose to keep for Legend Night the fresh, very tangy accords of the original juice, which delights in offering a sparkling opening of lavender and bergamot. They nevertheless added to this Legend Night a note of clary sage and mint, which replace the fresh note of Legend.
In the heart, Legend Night surprises by daring to play with the delicate violet-apple accord to better carry us into a warm, energetic bath of cedar, resin and fir balsam. The gentle warmth that pervades this contrasted heart is hardly held back by the sweet, sensual depths. Black vanilla, also a newcomer to this Legend Night, combined with tonka bean, surprises with its dark gourmand character. But night ends up enveloping us in its mysteries with utterly addictive patchouli, musk and cashmeran…
A new magnetic and woody Eau de Parfum that reveals the charisma of the one who wears it. Montblanc for Legend Night.
