Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Legend EDT
A crisp, versatile fougère that balances fruit, lavender, and moss with effortless charm. Legend is a modern masculine staple that never shouts but always feels assured and inviting.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.201 Legend EDP
A workmanlike take on Montblanc Legend's fougere-with-fruit formula - lavender, pineapple and tonka bean all present and correct, but the projection and the 10-hour legendary longevity of the original are both dialled back considerably.
