About Montblanc Legend
Montblanc Legend is the 2011 Eau de Toilette in the black bottle with the silver cap. It opens fresh and a little fruity, with bergamot, lavender and pineapple leaf. The middle is aromatic and slightly floral. The base is soft and clean: tonka bean, sandalwood and oakmoss.
It is an easy, office-safe fougère that works most of the year, and it is often compared to the smell of a clean shirt. Performance is moderate.
