Legend Mont Blanc for men Pictures Legend Mont Blanc for men Pictures

The brand Mont Blanc presents a new men's fragrance in April 2011. Legend is dedicated to inspiring, virtuous and self-confident men who are courageous, passionate and authentic. Their fragrance is subtle but striking and masculine.

Olivier Pescheux, the perfumer behind this fresh fougere creation, tried to make the fragrance filled with contrasts, combining notes that evoke strength and tenderness, tradition and modernity. The composition opens with fresh aromatic tones of bergamot, lavender, pineapple leaf and exotic verbena (Litsea Cubeba). The heart emphasizes oakmoss note (evernyl molecule) merged with geranium, coumarin, apple, rose, and Pomarosa molecule (notes of dried fruit). The base contains sandalwood, tonka and evernyl.

Heavy and slightly curved bottle of black and metallic colors is inspired by the famous Meisterstück pen design, made of glass and metal. The design is minimalistic and luxurious, perfect for the concept behind this fragrance. The black and white campaign features Simon Clark photographed by Peter Lindbergh.

Legend is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

A very light watered down international version of USA Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce cologne.

My advice if you like this try Fierce it will blow your socks off....or should I say A&F underwear.....

it's a real fruity explosion. to be honest, i did not expect this to come out from mont blanc. the bottle is also reminiscent of something darker and spicier..a bit more tobacco and tonka bean would've done it good, and maybe a bit of toning down of apple and pineapple.
overall it's quite a fun and pleasant smell more suitable for younger audience. it's a tad too fruity to be a classy male scent in my opinion, but it's fun and could be perfect for everyday use..

Dang I'm good, I sampled this the other day and as the day went I smelled my arm and told myself "this is pretty good, it reminds me of the smell of the Abercrombie store but more masculine and high end version". I come on here to learn more of Mont Blanc and to my surprise...people also described this to fierce. :)

It started off like Aramis New West but later becomes green to me. I like the top note but the base note is green therefore i do not like this.

It's a good sweet and fruity fragrance.
I don't like fruity fragrances but this is a good one with so pleasant smell.
Start with sweet pineapple and some apple notes.
It's not synthetic. it's well balanced.
In the drydown and base some floral notes comes in but the fruity and sweet notes are dominating here and anything else is in the background!
Great projection at the start but very soon become skin scent. the longevity is above average.
Good fragrance but it's so generic! there are tons of fragrances out there that smell like this.
Not my cup of tea!
And this fragrance is similar to Creed Aventus only for a few minutes at the start because of the pineapple note. after that they are completely different!
يه عطر خوشبو با رايحه ميوه ها
در ابتدا بوي شيرين و جذاب آناناس و سيب ميده
در ادامه بوش خيلي فرق نميكنه و فقط در اواخر كمي بوي گلها بهش اضافه ميشه اما رايحه هاي ميوه ها و رايحه هاي شيرين اينقدر قوي هستن كه بقيه رايحه ها رو كور ميكنن
پخش بوي مناسب و ماندگاري متوسطي داره
شخصا از عطرهاي ميوه اي زياد خوشم نمياد و خيلي عطرهاي ديگه هستن كه همچين بويي ميدن

A fresh, mellow aromatic/woody, with a subdued fruity sweetness that is pleasant and interesting. I get a bit of A&B Fierce but MBL is sweeter, less citrus and not as smoky.

I was trying to figure this one out; something so very familiar about it... definitely... but what? Then my friend arrived and I let her smell it, she asked if I had already sprayed myself with it, but I hadn't. The sales-clerk leaned in a bit and confirmed that he also saw a resemblance, odd I thought, then it hit me... I was wearing Curve! We compared the two side-by-side and found that Legend is almost identical, only more woody.
How ironic that I couldn't place it LOL I've been wearing Curve for years.

I checked this today and immediately identified the fruity note. the perfume has not been tested on the skin yet but will do so tomorrow. It came to my mind, once i smelled it, creed Aventus. I dont know how close or far this is from Aventus finally, but the pineapple and the apple are there. It is a sweet perfume but not terribly sweet. It is just the right amount of sweetness there and I would say that i liked it. For me, this does not smell like Platinum but will revert on that once i try it tomorrow. I know platinum in and out, i used it for several years and every day so my opinion will value. I tested it also with Baldessarini Ambre and Custom by Dunhill. It is a different perfume, custom smells similar to Ambre but not with this one.
UPDATE: I would say that this does not smell like platinum...it has something from platinum, maybe the geranium but not, it is not the same....It is a pleasant scent but i would say that I was expecting something more....longevity, sillage etc. It is not a bad perfume but at the same time, is not something ground breaking...I would say that is rather a safe perfume and can be used all year round. At the end you get some from the fruits, pineapple and apple....together with some wood....it does not remind Aventus at the extend I was expecting. The smokey, leathery touch of Aventus is missing...and this is wat matters....

There's strong woody, mossy side which prevails on the whole scent.
Instead i would rather like they upbeat the too discrete delicious fruity tone.

Not bad but won't buy a new one, a bit suffocating for me.

If you like strong woody to the edge of oriental fragance, it's surely for you.

Very fresh and fruity, I can feel the apple all the time, first time wearing it, staying power seems ok, but projection seems poor. A simple fragrance for working or walking on the streets, not my kind.

I bought this today.

I prefer fragrances which can be worn by either sex and I like lavender, bergamot and geranium top & middle notes, with a woody base.

My previous favourites have been CK Be and Davidoff Cool Water.

I don't know yet if this will be one I will stay with, but so far I like it.

(Some years ago I told a French assistant in a parfumiers that I liked lavender top notes, and she looked at me scornfully, like I was a mad old lady. But then, she was about 18.)

This has echoes of both Creed Aventus and Chanel Platinum Egoiste. If you are going to echo something, you could do worse. Starts out with a fruity almost incensey top, but quickly morphs into a nice apple and rose hue. This is far better than anything aquatic or in the vein of the old mainstream, and yes, I would wear this. For the price, you really can't go wrong with this. Fair longevity and moderate sillage. Nice, safe linear work scent that is not only fresh, but has something vaguely intriguing. If this is indicative of things to come this year, I am liking the direction mainstream is taking.
UPDATE: I really love the opening of this fragrance, but it dries down into a boring generic, albeit safe and pleasant, scent. I wish it stayed linear like the opening for the life of the fragrance. I would have even bought it then.
I have heard others say this is similar to A&F Fierce, and I think it really is.

Got it a few months ago, bought a 50 ml I thought it had that same odd spice as used in Mont blancs Presence in the beginning but no in the dry down,it was a very decent and safe office scent. not bad but certainly not that good.
Im certainly not gonna remember this one.
I used it and i never had that wow-factor feeling when applied... just 'ok'
Not worth the money i spent on it.
This one was a one-timer (or its a really bargain so i could buy a 100 ml )

I tried sample. This fragrance is amazing! Very fresh and clean like Egoiste Platinum. Masterpiece :) Longevity is good (7-8h), but sillage is wonderful. I must buy.

Well, instead of the flacon I didn't get something fashionable nor extraordinary. Just a charming and soft cool scent that plays an aquatic undertone.
It's sour, sweet, light, inoffensive, noble, young and capricious but with these all can't charm me to buy; so routine for me though it's comforting, casual and a bit charismatic.
longevity: not bad, stays on skin but in the early minutes sillage is so strong.

Fresh, a tad fruity, the resin blends well and aren't overpowering, the contrast is mixed gently and isn't too much of anything. One of the better manly scents I've come across lately. Makes me think of an energetic, youthful salesman or consultant. This
Smell would subconsciously impress clients and and interviewers.
I've smelt it before, its one of those scents that says "yes, You've noticed me often enough and therea a reason for it; cus I'm goooood"

I think I found my next best Mont Blanc. This fragrance opens with a (re)freshness with bergamot and pineapple. They are not sharp and invigorating like they normally are. The scent is so clean and it will get more fruity sweet with apple and tonka bean. Rose is great here as well. This is not a very masculine scent. It's very casual and quite young and romantic. It's not spicy, not woody, nor citrus summery. In addition, this reminds me a tiny bit of Creed Aventus but not as nice (Aventus is still my No.1)

Remark: A day later,the paper test strip smells more like Gucci Guilty pour Homme, especially the lavendar part. Ugh (-_-)!

If looking for a bergamot prominent top note blend - CK's Eternity, Chanel Egöiste Platinum, Ralph Lauren's Safari, Creed's Himalaya or even a local drusgtore scent called Alliance come to mind - this might fit your wishes. Of course, there is not much originality in MB's Legacy, but the mid and base notes mark, to some extent, a difference: notes mellow into a sweetness that might be due to the presence of fruit notes, however, these are just fantasies for there is not such a thing as a natural fruit essence (fruits are too watery to be distilled), all these are recreations done by noses. Thus, don't look for crystal - clear pineapple, apple or dry fruit notes, it is their sweetness all you will get from them. After these sweetness, the blend of the rest of the notes makes for its clear masculine character, to which I might add a gentlemanly and subdued character. MB's Legacy does not scream, it is rather a skin scent that has an average longevity, so this might work as a scent to be worn in formal occasions or places were policies rule out wearing prominent sillage scents.

PS: Add to this review a very nice bottle worth owning.

I smelt this in Harrods today and like some of the reviewers have stated thtis smells like a total rip-off of Egoiste platinum. What is it with fragrance companies ripping-off a fragrance that is nearly 20 years old? The new Paul Smith Optimistic is a dead-ringer and now this. Abercrombie & Fitch did EP with a twist with Fierce and gave it a youthful sporty vibe but these two have just tried to replicate EP but just not as good.

Sure, the new tendency in the male perfumery is to make clones of Chanel's Egoiste Platinum. Last year we had Davidoff Champion, a cheap variation of EP, this year we have Montblanc Legend. The fragrance lies somewhat in the middle between EP and Davidoff Champion. It is not so agressive and synthetic as Champion, but at the same time it is sweeter and more fruity than EP. Would like to gladden those who afraid of pineapples: the note of this fruit is not clear here, the scent is strong - and masculine in a modern tradition.

As for me I like Legend more than EP and DC (but I'm primordially fond of fruity scents). Ladies like Legend least of all.

The sillage is wonderful, the longevity is not impressive.
