Legend pour Femme Montblanc 2012

Having read quite a bit of good things about Montblanc here, I was motivated to test this fragrance.

Right from the start, it smells wonderfully fruity and refreshing. The bitter orange is immediately present and gives Legend something extraordinary and herb-fruity. As the fragrance develops, it feels like all the notes are arranged around the fruit. The note seems to support the entire scent. The pear also comes through very clearly for me, just as refreshing and juicy. However, the fruits do not remind me of an overripe fruit basket that has been dumped with kilos of sugar. Rather, they evoke the image of fruit that has just been freshly cut. The top note hits me like a sparkling, crisp-fresh bomb. Legend gains warmth from unobtrusive jasmine and orange blossom. Both make the fragrance feminine and sensual. The lily of the valley adds a pleasant sweetness. The base is pleasantly woody and cozy. However, the vanilla does not make it a boring uniform blend, but gives that pleasant feeling of security. The base, so to speak, embraces the heart note. Even here, the bitter orange is still perceptible.

The perfume is very balanced for me and makes me long for spring. It is never synthetic or shrill. The bottle immediately appealed to me. It fits well in the hand and is beautifully designed otherwise. The color matches the scent well.
I think the perfume can be worn for all occasions. I find the longevity to be enormous. Throughout the day, my nose keeps catching a delightful whiff of it. Unfortunately, I can't give the overall package a hundred percent, as the sillage could be stronger.

Nevertheless, I place this fragrance at the very top of my wish list, as I can imagine it as the perfect companion through all seasons and I simply feel wonderful with it.
