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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Legend Eau de Parfum's fresh violet leaf, bergamot, and pronounced woody mossy base make it ideal for spring and especially autumn's crisp air. It is less suited for hot summer heat or deep winter cold, where its ozonic-woody backbone can either get lost or feel too airy.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Refined and modern without being overpowering, this scent works well in professional, date, and casual settings. Its subtle projection and mossy backbone add class but lack the gravitas for formal black-tie or the energy for sporty wear.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum reinvents the iconic Legend signature with a deeper, richer woody accord. Bracing violet leaf and sparkling bergamot open into a heart of creamy magnolia and jasmine, resting on a base of oakmoss and supple leather. An ozonic freshness threads through the composition, balancing the earthy moss and warm woods. The result is a quietly magnetic, mossy-woody scent with a modern, crisp edge and a touch of floral lift.
