Legend pour Femme Montblanc 2012

For the report card, there were always a few heartfelt words from my parents and a small gift.
The math grade of five was standard, softened by ones and twos in languages - including Latin.
This comforted my parents about my number dyslexia.

However, they found my handwriting to be in need of improvement, and so one day there was a long package on my report card, containing an incredibly beautiful black-green fountain pen with a real gold nib.
Montblanc.
My heart raced at the sight of the beautiful, stylish writing instrument.
Even the process of drawing ink from the classic ink bottle brought me joy.
It was a completely different experience than the mundane task of changing plastic cartridges.

And the nib glided smoothly and effortlessly across the paper, like a sailboat over a still lake - giving my immature teenage handwriting grace and elegance.
I decided that love letters and poems would flow from my pen this way.

And the scent that reminds me of this beautiful gift is graceful and elegant - with a captivating dose of simple elegance.
The opening of full pear and cool neroli is extraordinarily successful and alluring.
Indian jasmine is exquisitely exotic, and the lily of the valley is delightfully cozy.
The woody notes appear noble and classic, warmed by gentle vanilla.

I see myself again in my old classroom, lost in thought as I dip my Montblanc into the ink bottle, and then energetically transfer Fried's "It is what it is" into my German notebook.

The name Legend is well chosen - both for the classic among fountain pens and for this special fragrance.
