What Legend smells like
Legend is a smooth fresh-fougère: lavender and apple up front, a gentle sweetness underneath, nothing sharp anywhere. It is the definition of a safe blind buy and a common recommendation for teenagers and first-time buyers.
Projection is polite and longevity moderate, which suits school, work and study. Often sold in large bottles at low Australian prices. The Spirit and Night flankers are fresher and darker respectively.
Best for: Teenagers, first fragrances and everyday use.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Montblanc Legend last?
Expect roughly 5-7 hours on skin with moderate projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.
Is Legend suitable for the Australian climate?
It performs best in spring, autumn and winter. It is not our pick for a hot Australian summer — the composition becomes heavier as temperatures rise, so keep it for the cooler months.
Is Legend unisex?
It is marketed for men, but fragrance has no rules — the woody character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.
How much does Legend cost in Australia?
Approximately $60 - $100 (100ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
