What Reddit owners say
5/5“I second that. Also I picked up a smaller Montblanc Legend Red at Burlington and was pleasantly surprised how much I loved it! Blood Orange/Grapefruit opening with the Legend DNA behind it.”
4/5 Synthetic / harshValue“I have and love Montblanc Legend EDP, but personally think it doesn't smell much more expensive than it is. Definitely has a synthetic smell to it - again, still love it tho!”
4/5“I'd buy D &G Light Blue, Mont Blanc Legend (red), Terre D' Hermes, Gucci Guilty, and Spice Bomb. I have all of them..They're great!”
2/5 Projection“Designer is fine but lesser I spend , happier I am lmao . I like perfumes which are masculine but with scents of floral components . Not too masculine , I got the mont blanc legend as a gift and I don't like it too much . I prefer something that lasts throughout the day and still projects well .”
5/5“I love it, which is why I've got Fahrenheit and Montblanc Legend EdP in regular rotation.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment) Value“Don't know your age or where you'll be wearing it, so some general recommendations are Montblanc Explorer, Montblanc Legend EdP, Versace Pour Homme, Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue, Issey Miyake Pour Homme. You might be able to find Dior Homme Sport for under $100 in 50ml size.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have a sample of this. To me it smells similar to Denver Pride (which is cloning Montblanc legend)”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I've been using Sauvage , Chanel , azarro most wanted , Mont Blanc legend , and some Ferrari one too . Someone guiding us in the correct path on how to wear perfume or how to choose instead of bombarding us with ads on yt might actually fix this compliments craze for me .”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“A lot of times if I'm just doing my daily routine of going to the gym, running errands, and editing, I usually end up going with Marwa or Montblanc Legend.”
