This is what mainstream cologne smells like
I used to work with a young man who wore Legend. He was a financial planner who drove a mid-sized sedan, wore polo shirts on his day off, played tennis and golf and had client lunches with retired rich people. If you know that guy, you know what Legend smells like. Unoriginal, mainstream, devoid of unique personality, but "likable".

The Pen Maker is Behind a Solid Office Scent.
One day, my best friend mentioned she loved a fragrance from Ulta and thought it would be an excellent addition to the collection of affordable fragrances.

When she told me the fragrance was Montblanc Legend, I decided to purchase it and give my thoughts.

----

Montblanc Legend starts with a citrusy aroma with bergamot and lemon, with a hint of freshness that comes from lavender. After a moment, the heart of the fragrance reveals itself with light florals. The florals complement the opening that extends the freshness, but keep the fragrance light.

The woods, tonka bean, and (possibly) oakmoss give Legend a firm base that adds a warm and confident feel, without being overly sweet.

Notably, it does smell similar to Abercromie and Fitch's Fierce, which was prevalent in American malls in the 2000s. This can be nostalgic, or off-putting.

----

In terms of performance, Legend is solid as an eau de toilette.

As I say in other reviews with similar projection and sillage, Legend will not announce your presence as you enter a room. However, the fragrance may get a person to turn their head as you walk by them, or they walk by you.

The longevity of this fragrance is anywhere from six to eight hours on skin. It should last for an entire workday or a night out—but likely not both without a respray.

----

Legend is an uncomplicated fragrance that is easy to wear in any social situation, whether it is at the gym, out on a date, or as a daily fragrance.

It is also easy to wear in all seasons, but Legend works the best in the comfortable temperatures of spring and autumn, and to a lesser extent, summer. It is weakest in the winter but has enough strength to push through the cold air.

For a fragrance that costs less than $40.00 for a 100 ml bottle, Legend provides amazing versatility.

That said, Legend shines the most as a fragrance in the office, as the notes combine for a fresh professional smell that is not offensive.

----

Legend is not a fragrance for someone looking for artistry or complexity. In addition, the fragrance may not mesh well with teens, or anyone that dislikes Fierce from the 2000s.

However, for someone looking for an affordable daily fragrance that works in multiple situations, Legend is a viable option.

An awesome opening, and an overall nice scent.
I did like this one. It reminded me of how much I like fruit done right in a fragrance. It reminds me a little of Aventus by Creed but only in the initial opening. I don't find this fragrance controversial or offensive at all. In fact I think that anyone and everyone would like this.

I like the apple and pineapple aspects, and the lavender mid and the woody base. Yes it's been done before in other male-marketed fragrances, but it's still a really nice fragrance. I would personally wear it. It's great, it works for almost any occasion, and is inoffensive and interesting enough for people to notice and be intrigued. This has been my first time trying a fragrance from Mont Blanc and personally I think it's a good one.

A fruity fougere and a memory of past's manly men's after shave colognes!
Legend is a straight, soft and easy going fragrance. A fruity fragrance with nuances of lavender and floral notes at the base. The fruity patch reminds me Aventus a bit. But not that translucent, Legend is dust-covered a little.
You may not get enough compliment, buy you never gain any negative neither. It's a safe fragrance you can wear everywhere. But don't try to expose yourself with it, it's a not a perfume for you otherwise.

Fresh, fruity, sweet, a bit aquatic. Citrusy in the opening, slightly woody in the drydown. The sweet lavender is quite synthetic.

For me, this is the best clone of the (regrettably) discontinued Joop! Nightflight

Spray this on to smell nice. Not to smell special. But nice. Fresh, clean, synthetic. I’d take this on holidays.

An already known DNA: casual lavender. Like it more than Parfums de Marly Percival. It's more rugged and has a little bit more character.

A really beautiful scent. I have a sample + bottles of 'Intense' and 'Spirit' which I love. Less sweetness here but more lavender freshness

A classically androgenous scent. Zesty citrus and lavender to start, and settles into sweet tonka a few hours later. Can be worn to work.

Heavy citrus opening. Don't really see it evolving into something else besides the late Tonka.
Not that good of a sillage or longevity.

Softer fierce, both in smell and in performance. More refined, which is not necessarily a good thing.
Smells very good though!
