Legacy 1

ليجاسي

Ayat

The template is clear. Pacific Chill is now known by every second person. Solid scent, does what it’s supposed to do. So much for the intro.

The "Legacy 1 / ليجاسي | Ayat / آيات" is distinctly mintier and overall more "chemical-synthetic." When you smell it, you know exactly what I mean. That doesn’t sound great at first, but it’s made quite well. There’s no hint of peach or any other fine fruits. No, this thing is minty, aquatic, fresh-fruity-citrusy. Simple, easy to understand. I call this a "nobrainer" scent. Grab it when you don’t know what you need. Especially in summer, it works without a doubt. Admittedly, the LV summer scents are not complex either. However, their popularity speaks more for the simplicity of fragrances. Especially in summer.

When I first smelled it, I thought that the Legacy reminded me more of "Pinnace | French Avenue." This one also has a minty note, but is a bit fruitier, finer, and thus comes closer to Pacific Chill than Legacy.

The "Legacy 1 / ليجاسي | Ayat / آيات" feels more like the rough third-born little brother. He belongs to the family but is somehow different. However, since the family name is right, he still makes it to every party. I can wear it really well. I like it. And precisely because it’s a bit different, especially regarding the mintiness, it has its justification for existence.

This is not a pure dupe. This one interprets the DNA differently. It belongs to the family but is definitely not the prettiest of them all.

In this sense,
wishing you all a lovely summer.

I bought it blindly based on Miki Monumental's recommendation and was absolutely not disappointed. This is truly such an amazing scent experience. Freshly squeezed orange, lemon, with a hint of sweet mint in the background. The orange lingers, and apricot joins in. I also find that it evokes very strong associations with mandarin. I've never smelled the Pacific Chill in its original form, but this scent is really mega happy and an absolute summer banger. The price-performance ratio for an Extrait de Parfum is truly unbeatable. The bottle is quite funky, but the sprayer, for example, is really good. I can only emphasize what Miki has already said about the perfume.

The only downside is that it is a freshie, so you can't expect absolute beast performance, but still, it's not bad in this category. One should have realistic expectations and not expect an atomic bomb.

... I traveled to the Wakayama Prefecture at Shirahama Beach right on the Pacific. The vastness of the sea and the sun is wonderful. I take out an ice-cold mint tea from my cooler and a chilled fruit salad with oranges, currants, apricots topped with dates and figs, rounded off with a few drops of lemon juice. On top, there are a few mint and basil leaves. I enjoy this with the view. In the distance, you can see a few whales surfacing again and again. The people around me smile kindly while the children play on the beach.

When applying this fragrance, the first thing you notice is a fresh minty citrus scent with a certain acidity and simultaneously a light sweetness in the nose. Other fruity, green, and floral accords blend in, softening it. Additionally, the dates and figs bring another fruity sweetness that speaks with a certain resinous note. This perfume is absolutely unisex.

The longevity and sillage are only average here, but acceptable for the price.

Here we have a wonderful spring and summer scent that can be well worn by both females and males. I see the age starting from 18 years and open-ended upwards. As already mentioned, it works very well on warm and hot days; however, I find that it should be worn on cold, dreary days to spread good cheer. During the day, it can be worn well at university, in the office, while having coffee, shopping, or at the gym. In the evenings, I see it fitting for warm evenings at a garden or beach party, or simply while grilling with or without friends.

Those who enjoy a fresh minty citrusy tart-sweet fruity green floral lightly resinous scent will find a good option here for a small price. It is a nice alternative to Pacific Chill from LVMH, which is slightly more expensive.

A cheapie that packs a punch: power, freshness, creaminess, mandarin, soft lemon, and orange.

Longevity and sillage are very good, and the scent progression is pleasant and not linear, yet it remains true to itself.

For me, it’s unfortunately a bit piercing, but not alcoholic.

The Melody of the Sun by Mancera is much better in scent, but significantly worse in longevity.

So why do I keep it? It’s perfect for layering, heavy scent, sweet scent -> here, the freshness kick from Legacy is a great way for new combinations.

I also became aware of Legacy1 through Miki Monumental. The blind buy was worth it for me; the fragrance was on sale for just €25, which is great.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last long, and the sillage could be stronger. However, I really like the scent progression.
After spraying, I smell something fruity-fresh that develops from citrusy-bitter to orange peel. Then, blackcurrant and apricot come through. A little later, Legacy1 reminds me of mango ice cream and becomes a bit aquatic and dry over time.
