Legend

This fragrance is in my hall of fame list. It is a classy masculine evening fragrance. I am not a big fan of strong leather, woods or patchouli so this hit all the marks for me. All the accords are bold and wrapped in a lavender bubble. On the top you get the lavender with a touch of bergamot and a hint of lemon verbena. At times I would get pineapple when it starts to dry . But it's so faint and for a short time . In the middle you get the dried fruits rose and geranium. The rose will linger until the fragrance fades away. But it's so mixed with the lavender that you know the rose is there but you don't get very much of it . The apple you don't get until it's fully dried down and everything is settled. Maybe an hour later . The oakmoss comes out very little as well. The sandalwood isn't very strong at all . It add just enough wood to carry everything and not disrupt much of what's going on. Same for the tonka , it's the warm sugar dusting over the top. Everything just works so well while being kept classy by the lavender. While it is more of a formal fragrance it can be dressed down a little. But it's definitely an evening date night type of fragrance. Performance, for being an edt it has pretty strong performance. On clothing I have smelled it the next day. On skin I have smelled it 8 to 9 hours later. Projection , with 4 sprays you'll get a solid 2 to 3 hours. The first hour you'll get a good 5 feet of projection. You can get a bottle for $30-$35 so it's very affordable. Scent - 9.0 Complexity - 7.5 Quality - 8.0 Performance - 8.0 Bottle - 8.0

This is a masterpiece, and a new fragrance that I am extremely excited about. It is a classic Fougére, and it smells wonderful on my skin. I have noticed people downplaying this fragrance, labeling it an A&F Fierce knockoff at best, a 'weak deodorant' and 'Axe' smell at worst. Nolo contendre! What I will assess, though, is that fragrances will smell different on different people, because of different chemistry, hormones, etc. I smelled this fragrance in this month's GQ magazine and fell immediately in love, which does not happen often. I know my personal scent category well enough to know that the Lavender and Bergamot in the top notes combined with the Oakmoss and Coumarin in the heart, and Tonka Bean and Sandalwood in the drydowns make for an exquisite blend with my chemistry. Indeed, I tested it out tonight and went dancing. I got positive compliments from a bunch of hot girls, ranging from "you smell DELICIOUS" to "god, you smell amazing, what IS that?" and everything in between. So I say, go with what the girls like. As for Fierce, I love that fragrance, too, but it is different from Mont Blanc on me. Legend is more smooth, refined and sophisticated, and thus the personal best. But always put it directly on the skin to get the true essence. Paper will only give a reference point. Any fragrance needs to dry down on the skin for ten minutes or so to reveal exactly what it will smell like on the particular individual. I will be making this a regular part of my collection for years to come. From a 'nose' with 24 years' practice.

Perfect example of a dumb reach. It smells like fresh shaving cream and apples/dried fruits. The dried fruit note is surprisingly very realistic. I also pick up pineapple with the rind still on it. The pineapple rind and sandalwood notes mingle so well together. Has great performance with high marks in both sillage and longevity. Incredibly affordable on discounter websites, DO NOT buy this at retail price. I recently picked up a 100ml for $34 which is a fantastic value. The only thing I find off-putting is that Legend opens with a blast of alcohol. That alcohol quickly subsides into a smooth, great smelling fruity fougere. Is it unique? Not really, but that doesn't make it any less great. This deserves a higher rating in my humble opinion. This is my third fragrance I've used from Montblanc and every single one has been a great fragrance at a great value. EDIT: I've been wearing this as my work fragrance. It performs exceptionally well. I get solid performance during a regular 8.5 hour shift. The longevity is great but the sillage trails off after a few hours. I think this is a fantastic daily driver. Shaving cream and red apple and tonka bean sweetness. Won't offend anyone. Highly recommended.

I very first sniffed this scent in my early 20s working at a beauty supply store. I knew one day I'd meet the perfect man born to wear this fragrance. Turns out that man would turn out to be my husband in our early 30s! No-nonsense men wear this fragrance only, please. Perfect for a Leo man. Mother bought this for her highschool (the bully type) son when I worked at this store; I wanted to warn them both but though boyyyyy! Wear that when you grow into a full-grown man! Feel bad for the highschool boys in the locker-room choking on this scent since he probs sprayed himself down with it like it was some type of axe body spray! A little goes a long way: just enough to smell it on a man if you're lucky to get close enough to him. One spray will do, perfect if used sparingly. Husband was *born* to wear this fragrance. The serious protector type will rock this stuff without a sweat (unlike this sweaty locker room boys lmao!). Get this for your man today: warn the ladies this is YOUR Leo man! Five stars on the right guy, hell even on the wrong one! Chick magnet. 6/5

There's a girl in one of my classes, whom I've thrown my entire repetoire of fragrances at. We're talking: Bleu de Chanel, Carolina Herrera CH Men, Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, Chanel Platinum Egoiste, Chanel Pour Monsieur EDT Concentree, Dior Homme, Dior Homme Intense, Ferragamo F Black, YSL La Nuit de L'Homme, & Vince Camuto Homme. Yesterday, she finally compliments me out of the blue on Mont Blanc Legend... She told me, "Your cologne smells really good! I don't know why, but I like that smell a lot!" I told her that the reason why she liked it so much, is because it smells like me, which made her laugh... ;) When I began my fragrance collecting, I sniffed out the ENTIRE department store counter. This is the fragrance I kept coming back to. I bought it first, before all of the other fragrances I listed. People claim it's too generic. However, it sure does smell good. It smells like a man should smell, & women pick up on it. This stuff is a formidable weapon.
