Legend

Caveat: I have never smelled TdH and so can only review this on its own merits. Top tier masterworks, whether fragrance or movies or woodworking, can generally be lumped into two categories: those where the work and craft that went into it is apparent, and those that blend into a holistic form such that you don't even notice the craft. I think a lot of Chanel and the better TF fragrances fall into the latter category, this goes into the former. Everything feels so carefully and perfectly arranged that you can't help but notice and respect it. It's a very architectural scent. Have you ever had a friend or partner who wasn't conventionally attractive but they were so smart and interesting and a little sexy and you were just irresistibly drawn to them? That's this fragrance. It's what the smartest guy in the room, who is also a little bit sexy, smells like.

This is a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT nailed on clone of Terre d'Hermès. Not only that, I say Legend is superior. I have both but I'll never need TdH again. Applied and was still on skin more than 24 hours later so longevity is great too. Seriously, this is a hidden gem and I CAN'T BELIEVE it only had one review before mine. I purchased this at a bargain price of £14 and considering it's IDENTICAL to TdH, it could easily cost a lot more!

Take TdH edp jus and put it in a different bottle. This fragrance is not meant to emulate TdH. This fragrance Is TdH. It's simply indistinguishable from the OG. Projection and longevity on par with OG edp. Si, here goes my review.

I saw Sapil Legend at a Macy's Backstage store for $14.99. It was unboxed so I sprayed it on my hand. During the dry down I realized what the scent reminded me of. It reminded me of Cremo Iced Citron & Driftwood, which smells like Jimmy Choo Man Ice, which smells like the hard to find Mercedes Benz Cologne (aqua blue bottle), which smells like Dior Homme Cologne 2013. I think Sapil Legend smells very nice. It has that iced lemonade/grapefruit scent which is good for spring and summer. The only reason I didn't buy it is because I already own Cremo Iced Citron and the scents are so close that it wasn't worth buying for me. Ironically, this Macys' Backstage store also had Cremo Iced Citron & Driftwood for $12.99.

Sapil took one note from TdH and made a fragrance out of it. This fragrance is flat as a pancake. It lacks the complexity of TdH, there is no separation of notes or development. Just one note. It is pleasant, but to put it at the same level as the original is a crime. Although, I admit it is a good performer and not unpleasant. However, it will not give you the unforgetable experience, the effervescence and woodiness of Terre d'Hermes. At least the Terre d'Hermes as I remember it from 15 years ago. Edit: My wife loves this fragrance to bits.
