Legend EDP

“The Legend made fireside — amber, coumarin, and cold-weather comfort.”

Montblanc Legend EDP

The 2020 EDP concentration in Montblanc's Legend line — Olivier Pescheux's launch, a slightly denser, more leather-oakmoss take on the 2011 EDT. Bergamot and violet leaves at the top, settling on an oakmoss-leather drydown. Versatile across seasons, balanced day-to-night.
