Montblanc Legend Notes Breakdown

Montblanc Legend opens with Pineapple, Bergamot and Lavender — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Geranium, Coumarin, Rose, Apple and Pomarose. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Evernyl and Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Woody, Fresh, Powdery — easy to place and easy to wear.
