Legend Red by Montblanc, a boldly designed bottle
Let us start with the discovery of this fragrance's bottle. Indeed, it is a central element of Legend Red by Montblanc, sharply breaking with the brand's habits. Ordinarily, the house is known for its pens or its creations, always very understated and elegant. Montblanc mainly favors shades such as gray, black or brown, fitting into a businessman's register. Montblanc's creations thus easily pair with the look of a businessman, or the style of a man wearing a tuxedo. But this time, Legend Red by Montblanc dares to break radically with this world! Forget black and make way for a flashy red. Legend Red by Montblanc displays an explosive look, and it must be said that it suits it perfectly! Nevertheless, Montblanc's signature touch is still very much present. Legend Red does have the house's emblematic little star shape, as well as the iconic heavy feel of Montblanc pens. Elegance endures while boldness intensifies!
Montblanc brings more modernity to its fragrance
Just like its design, the fragrance Legend Red also dares to show modernity and zest. The composition of Legend Red by Montblanc preserves the DNA of its predecessors, while adding a new touch of daring. Legend Red by Montblanc manages to keep the aromatic and woody structure similar to the entire Legend collection. Yet it offers a bolder attitude and a more powerful freshness than ever. To achieve this, it pairs the use of aromatic plants with tangier citrus fruits. Legend Red by Montblanc stands out as one of the most invigorating versions in the entire range. Its blood orange nectar as well as its herbaceous breath give it a particularly invigorating facet. Added to this is the elegance of the woods, which in turn increases the longevity of its formula.
Legend Red enlists big names in modeling to perfect its image
Finally, to enhance its image on screen, Legend Red by Montblanc is embodied by the talented British model Simon Clark. A true star in the fashion world, he holds contracts with numerous agencies, whether in Toronto, New York, Paris or London. While he regularly walks the runway for various luxury brands, he has been the face of the campaign for the house of Montblanc since 2011. It is therefore only natural that he returns to lend his devastating smile to Legend Red by Montblanc, this time photographed by the unmissable Peter Lindbergh.
