Legend Spirit

I havent bought any perfumes now for about a year. I realised I had fallen into a collector fever or addiction and was purchasing things because of the good old fomo and spending way beyond my means! So I have just been cycling through the 100 or so bottles I have and just enjoying them and switching off from watching or reading any reviews! That being said I had to post this review on here today 🤣 It’s funny where we all are on our fragrance journey, you can tell by reading peoples comments and I think a lot of new people or people just looking for a rotation of 5 or 6 bottles should definitely take some of the reviews with a pinch of salt. those of us that are further in our journey will say things like generic and boring but let’s face it....most of the male population are either wearing lynx (or axe for you in the us!) or they have the latest sauvage. So I was wearing this yesterday to work. I hadn’t reached for it for about 2 years. I will say I work in a factory, I’m of average looks, I’m in my 40’s and I’m slightly overweight. I had 3 different women tell me I smelled good wearing this. One of them said it was sexy hunky good, like she’d want to eat me 🤭. And even a couple of guys asked what it was and it smelled really great. I won’t go on about the notes or anything, it’s nice it’s sweet and it’s definitely a fizzy bubblegum type vibe. And I remember when I first got it being disappointed as it was just sweet and “generic” to me. I think it’s nice to challenge our noses and I do love playing with niche perfumes and experiencing the journey. But I think we sometimes forget the aim of perfume is just to smell good! 🤣 Sorry for the essay, I’d definitely say if you can get this cheap it’s well worth it! But regardless, everyone just enjoy your fragrance journeys....whatever you are wearing you will stand out from the majority who still mostly use deodorants!

A lovely, addictive scent. I like this way, way more than the OG Legend. Nothing wrong with being so close to A&F's Fierce, but I wore that during highschool and college so it's hard to wear Legend without feeling like a kid again (sometimes a good thing, sometimes not). Legend Spirit is better from the start simply by being more unique and more versatile. There is a overwhelming sense of freshness that comes across and lingers through the whole profile. This must be the "water notes" listed. I personally don't smell the citrus, but I do get something here that is sweet, a tiny bit fruity, but not overwhelmingly so. Maybe the lavender? Maybe the cardamom? Whatever it is, it helps this fresh, aquatic smell become something almost mouthwatering. And then it gets even better as it dries down and the musk starts to come out. This is one of those summer scents that can be sprayed in the early afternoon and be absolutely perfect, and stays perfect as the day transitions into evening and the scent matures on your skin. I personally don't get the performance issues others are complaining about. It's not a beast-mode fragrance, no, but I'm of the opinion that sometimes subtlety is the best strategy. With it being a EDT in mind, I spray 7-8 times (3-4 times on chest/back of neck, 2 times on each inner elbow) and I can easily pick it up as I move around 10 hours later. There have even been times where, a solid 12 hours later, I couldn't quite pick it up myself but my wife would comment about how good I smell when I walk by. For how much a 100ml bottle costs (at discounters, cough cough), this is an absolutely killer deal. A dumb grab n spray everyday warm weather fragrance that actually has some depth and interest and smells amazing? Yeah sign me up, I wish I found this gem years and years ago.

Montblanc Legend Spirit opens with a highly aromatic and noticeably vibrant burst. From the very first sprays, it creates a clean, fresh, and almost icy sensation that reminds me of cold water in motion. There is also a slightly soapy character, produced by a well-blended combination of lavender and citrus. The result feels masculine, fresh, confident, and carefree, while still maintaining a certain level of class and elegance. Unlike many clean fragrances that eventually start smelling like generic soap or laundry detergent, Legend Spirit still feels unmistakably like a proper fragrance. Even though it is soapy and extremely clean, it remains polished, pleasant, and distinctive enough to avoid feeling cheap or overly generic. When it comes to performance, I still have some doubts. Its initial projection is quite strong, and it remains noticeable during the first two hours. After that, it becomes more restrained and subtle, sitting much closer to the skin. Personally, it is one of my favorite fragrances for extremely hot weather and for wearing to the gym. Despite having strong projection in the opening, I do not find it intrusive at all. On the contrary, it feels very pleasant, refreshing, and energizing. In my experience, it requires approximately 8 to 12 sprays to achieve satisfying performance. With that amount, it maintains a strong initial presence and allows its fresh, clean character to be enjoyed more fully.

Montblanc ~ Legend Spirit 2016 EDT: This is a true Legend. High Quality. Lasts for 6-8 hours. The Opening have High Quality Fruity and Woody notes, with a hint of Ebony, which is very addictive to my nose 🤗 The Pink Pepper is more prominent when it's cold. The Middle notes are a good mix of Cardamom and different Dark and Light Woody notes, with Lavender in the background. The Drydown has many different Woody notes, both Dark and Light, and the Cardamom is still present. White Musk and Oakmoss go very well with the different Woody notes. On my skin this is far from Invictus. I would venture to say that it is closer to Issey Miyake ~ Nuit d’Issey 2014 EDT than Invictus. Not that I would compare Legend Spirit to Nuit d’Issey. It is hard to find anything reminiscent of Legend Spirit, it is quite unique. Legend Spirit is suited for older, Sophisticated, well-dressed Gentlemen. Legend Spirit is okay when it's cold, but it really shines in Spring and Fall 🤗 It's too strong when it's very hot IMO. I need a refill next year. Legend Spirit is part of my Signature scent that is worn a lot. It is the scent I get most compliments from. If this was made by a niche brand, it would be 4-5 times more expensive and have higher rating.
