Montblanc
Legend Blue
“Mint, lavender, and cedar over ambroxan — the accessible designer take on Percival's fresh-aromatic DNA.”
A 2024 EDP in Montblanc's Legend line, which began with the 2011 original. Mint and lavender open over cedar and sandalwood, settling on ambroxan and moss. Aromatic, woody and green accords lead, with lavender and amber. Often compared to Parfums de Marly Percival (2018). A summer and spring daytime scent.
