Montblanc has done it again: Legend is a fragrance for men who can last the whole day and still do 100 push-ups. (Metaphorically, of course.)
What we say:
‘Before acquiring a bottle, I had tried out a sample, which I’d left in my wallet for two weeks. After one week it still had a wonderful scent… after two weeks I was on a mission to get a bottle; and I was not disappointed. Apart from loving the Legend fragrance itself, this super-sleek bottle looks great on my desk. Obviously, what with it being Montblanc and all, it is classy and stylish. The packaging is both minimalistic and luxurious. The heavy and slightly curved bottle, made of glass and metal, is inspired by Montblanc’s famous Meisterstück pen design.’

By far the most amazing fragrance I’ve ever smelt . It’s not an easy task winning the Men’s health grooming awards yet this fragrance has done it with ease and I can see why (or should I say smell why rather ;) )
Released in April 2011 I’m embarrassed to say it took me so long to discover . I was also pretty chuffed with the price at R895 for a 100ml and R575 for a 50ml its not to going to break the bank getting you to smell like a million bucks.
Packaging : Comes in your standard cardboard fragrance box with a security plastic outer cover to ensure it’s sealed. The actual bottle is simple yet bold with a plain opaque black outer and capped with a silver top embossed with the Mont Blanc emblem and name.
Notes : Top Notes Bergamot, Lavender, Pineapple leaf, Verbena
Middle Notes Oak moss, Geranium, Coumarin, Apple, Rose, Pomarosa molecule
Base Notes Sandalwood, Tonka, Evernyl
The Actual scent : One word “ legendary “ I’m pretty sure this is what James Bond would smell like. It has a fresh masculine scent with wisps of spice subtly floating around. This is the type of scent that would just make you want to bury your head in the chest of the guy wearing this (yes I’ve done it :p ). It’s also good to note that this is an extremely long lasting fragrance(up to 12 hours) and can transcend both night and day wear. A guys scent is probably one of the first things you pick up when first meeting them and Boy o Boy does this leave an impression. The scent is unique and has a sense of indivualty to it (you can identify a Mont Blanc guy) However if I had to name a fragrance that is smelt similar to, I have to say the Chanel Bleu or Platinum .
Would I recommend this product? : YES!YES!YES! The most amazing male fragrance and my personal favorite .
It is an awesome cologne I recommend it. I loved the scent and you will love it too. It stays on for the entire day.
Thank you so much Beauty SA and Mont Blanc for the wonderful package which arrived at my door yesterday as part of the recent MontBlanc competition. My hubby returns from a long work stint in Ghana on Friday which also happens to his birthday so this will be a wonderful addition to his birthday hamper! Thank you once again; it is most appreciated
I bought this for my guy last year and we both love it. So fresh and masculine at the same time. Yum!
Ahhh….Mont Blanc, Mont Blanc, Mont Blanc… :) This is probably one of the best smelling fragrances out there for men at the moment. I got this one after spending almost two hours shopping for new perfume and narrowing my favorites down to just two and this one being one of them. I fell in love with the strong, yet desirable scent – I can wear it any time of the year and I and my clothes will smell like Mont Blanc for weeks on end. Definitely a must buy for any guy out there! .A.
I will get this for my bf on his birthday, but I dont want the ladies all over him now.
The same goes for this one, i really want one, on my wish list i am crazy about the Mont Blanc Legend fragrances, love them.
Oh, what a wonderful fragrance. I’ve been using this for the past six months and everywhere I go the ladies are ooooh-ing and aaaaaah-ing like there’s no tomorrow. Stylish bottle and durable glass – you just know there’s got to be quality stuff in there. BUT, unfortunately I have decided to switch to Mont Blanc Legend Special Edition. Sorry buddy – I’ll be missing you.
