Olfastory’s review
Legend by Montblanc, a perfume intended for great men
Originally, the house of Montblanc was founded by three men: a stationer, a banker and an engineer. Together, they gave birth to a true luxury empire. Now, it is precisely to this type of man that the Legend fragrance speaks. If you are ambitious and aspire to turn everything you touch into gold, this perfume is for you! Like the luxury brand it represents, Legend by Montblanc is a guarantee of perfection. It is intended for all those who wish to conquer the entire world. Like the Montblanc brand, rise to the highest peaks and shape your destiny with ambition. The message is promising and proves to be the first great asset of this masculine perfume.
The Montblanc world present on the Legend bottle
At a single glance, the Legend perfume's connection to the Montblanc brand is obvious. Its main color codes can be found here, namely black and steel, very present on Montblanc pens. Furthermore, the visual of Legend is a direct tribute to the emblematic Meisterstück pen. Its fluid, elegant lines, its heavy glass and its presence can be recognized. Refined to the utmost, this bottle is also decorated with the six-pointed star emblematic of the house of Montblanc. Likewise, the guilloché signature dresses its bottle, through its three rings. Legend by Montblanc is a reference to all of the house's finest creations.
Legend by Montblanc, more than a fougère, an olfactory reference
Legend by Montblanc belongs to the fougère family, a great classic of men's perfumery. Yet it does not lack a visionary spirit. It thus combines authenticity and modernity. With it, everything begins with a blend of bergamot, lavender and pineapple leaves. Lively and energetic, this perfume then becomes more gourmand. It also combines rose and jasmine with a few woody touches of cedar. Finally, it closes with a trio of ambrox, tonka bean and sandalwood. On its own, Legend is a perfect demonstration of Montblanc's strength and expertise. It shows this renowned brand's taste for excellence. Why was this perfume made? Because Legends only exist if someone is there to share them with the world...
