Legend Special Edition 2012

JUST received this one...1 spray to each wrist and 3 to the neck/chest...I could EASILY love this! Opens minty fresh with notes of mandarin, some Ginger to open up the sinus...smoothes out with masculine florals...will keep you posted on the drydown...so far I'm REALLY liking it! UPDATE: +3hrs: Mint is pretty much dissipated at this point...Still able to smell some floral hints and very faint mandarin...not as pronounced, but still present. It's starting to pretty much die down at this point. I don't think it will make it passed 5 hrs - which is still pretty good. MY RATINGS: Smell: 9/10 Potency: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Sillage: 7/10 Overall: 8/10 CONCLUSION: This was a blind-buy for me since I enjoyed the 2011 MBL EDT, and I'm glad I've acquired this juice. It's definitely worth it! I could see myself getting another bottle once it's done. May perform better in warmer weather, but it's pretty well balanced for normal wear in my opinion.

I own both the original Legend and this special edition. The special edition is a bit lighter than the original, with some notes taken out (pineapple, red apple) and ginger/mint thrown in. It's more refreshing and sharp because of the mint and ginger, so I wear this one during warm/causal days. I really love both scents and they are different enough to own both, some of the other special/intense additions are too close to get both. This one has received just as many compliments as the original and is a pleaser. I get the same longevity and a tad less projection as the original. I would recommend a blind buy, as it's hard to find samples now. If you are looking for a bottle just type special edition as it was the first and it will sometimes not say 2012 edition, but make sure it is frosted blue and not clear bottle.

A great summer frag. The mint makes this frag heavy in the beginning but after 1 hour you undestand the citrus notes and together they give a very refreshing result.I agree that the dry down reminds the original one.I can not say which is better because i think that the original is for winter ans fall and not for summer. But both of them in my opinion are sexy and long lasting frags. In my skin lasts about 8 hours and thats a big advantage because other equally great summer frags (chrome, bleu de chanel) last less than 5-6 hours. Closing I recommend it to the guys who want a clear manly summer frag.

Subtle yet longlasting, refined mixture. Mature, day-time scent with average projection. Opens with citruses and fresh spices, then turns into aromatic, florals blend nice with woods and amber. Alltogether it feels quite green, vibrant/spicy fresh, very pleasant and sophisticated, I'm enchanted. It reminds me a bit of YSL Live Jazz so I asume it isn't very unique but except one false artificial note (oakmoss I suppose, I don't have nose trained that well), I didn't find any flaws.

Well balanced, fresher than the black legend. Glad to have owned one. I must say that this deserves 9/10
