Scent description (editorial impression)

Violet leaf leads, green and faintly metallic, over clary sage and a cedar that several owners call creamy rather than dry; a coconut-water sweetness turns up again and again, though no coconut is listed. To one wearer it is Santal 33 without the pickle note; another walks a dog through wet underbrush and smells the same thing on their sleeve. It keeps close: four to six hours of skin scent for some, a working day for others, two days on a polo shirt for one. The unconvinced get a musty dampness or a gym bag, and one scrubbed it off.

More from Montblanc

Legend Eau de Toilette

Eau de Toilette (EDT). Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce is the comparison several wearers reach for: citrus and lavender, a slim thread of pineapple, a soft tonka dry-down and, to one reviewer, a trace of Montblanc's own fountain-pen ink.

Explorer Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum (EDP). Mentioned again and again as the affordable Aventus: fresh bergamot, pepper and a smoky, woody ambroxan base, minus the pineapple.

Explorer Extreme Parfum

Parfum / Extrait. Bergamot opens it bright, then a dark licorice that no note list mentions takes over, with patchouli, vetiver and a damp leather underneath.

Legend Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum (EDP). Two comparisons come up again and again in the reports: a hot shower, and Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce.
