The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Montblanc, Legend Special Edition 2013 is a fresh and spicy aromatic fragrance for men crafted by perfumer Olivier Pescheux. The composition opens with mint, lime, and ginger, creating an invigorating burst of energy that transitions into the aromatic heart of lavender, bergamot, jasmine, and rose. These notes give way to a woody base of white cedar extract, sandalwood, tonka bean, and amber, providing warmth and depth. This fragrance embodies the essence of a refined gentleman who exudes confidence and sophistication.
This EDT is best applied in two sprays to ensure the top notes are noticeable without overpowering. It's designed to be closer to skin rather than projecting across a room, so layer it for long-lasting warmth. Ideal for daytime wear when you need a boost of freshness and confidence.
