Aaron Terence Hughes Legend+ is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Aaron Terence Hughes. Legend+ opens with Blood Mandarin, Bergamot, Lemon, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Amber, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Aaron Terence Hughes's Legend+ carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A polarising blue fragrance that's either a beastly and refined take on the Sauvage DNA, or an unbalanced mess that needs to macerate to show its true colours. Expect serious projection and longevity, but don't expect it to be a subtle charmer.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Legend+ opens with a burst of zesty citrus from blood mandarin, bergamot, and lemon, sharpened by the herbaceous touch of artemisia. The heart introduces a prominent lavender and juicy apple, intertwined with a warm amber and grapefruit. As it dries down, a robust base of sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli emerges, grounded by earthy oakmoss and given a modern kick by pink pepper and elemi. It aims for a fresher, spicier twist on familiar blue scents.
