Montblanc

Legend EDP

2020

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

ozonic
citrus

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.

The take

What works

  • Richer and more complex than the EDT
  • Strong coumarin-tonka warmth
  • Excellent value for a fougère EDP

Trade-offs

  • Less versatile than Legend EDT
  • Slightly generic warm-woody profile
