“Clean, inoffensive, and entirely pleasant — the office safe choice that costs nothing.”
The lighter, more aquatic 2016 entry in Montblanc's Legend line — Olivier Cresp's launch, sitting brighter than the original 2011 Legend. Grapefruit at the top, a lavender heart, settling on a cashmere wood-musk drydown. A summer daytime fragrance.
The take
