Montblanc Legend Hits All The Right Notes

Who Is Your Legend?

By Vanessa Grace Ng

Modern legends are always striking. Forged out of passion and ambition, and tempered with traits of humility and softness, such a blend of singularities are what deems them to be intoxicating. Now what happens when one bottles that into a fragrance? The Montblanc Legend — now redesigned to be even more straightforward — returns as a fresher, woodier iteration to affirm the superlative that has always been theirs.

To the German luxury craftsmen at Montblanc, rewriting the rules comes naturally. The Legend Man, for one, was a creation of their own. A house-original character who embodies fearlessness, aspiration, success, and all the other trappings of a legend, the Legend Man stands to be the exemplar for all others to follow in his footsteps. It is a story that closely tracks that of the house. As the pioneers behind philosophy-backed luxury writing instruments, watches, leather goods and more since 1906, Montblanc has trail-blazed an exemplary path for themselves.

It is with this essence of authority that the Montblanc Legend fragrance emerges true to its name. A fresh, woody and aromatic fragrance, its verve is reflected in its spearmint and lavender top notes, while the fragrance’s true self holds its position in its cedarwood and sandalwood heart. In spite of its straightforward first impressions, there is brevity and complexity imbued within with Ambroxan and moss notes. Altogether, the Montblanc Legend fragrance diffuses to be sharply clear with its aspirant agenda: to be presently within reach, and yet still exist as a concept one cannot get enough of.

Akin to the shell of a handsome Legend, a clear blue glass bottle with the Meisterstück embossed silver cap are what hold together this elixir. Its legacy is now rewritten in a blue coating that — while handsome in its own right — stands for much more here. Its blue hue, synonymous with traits like truth, serenity, wisdom and confidence, is a first take of what stands to unfold within each spritz. With a dash of inspiration, a hint of masculinity and wafts of authenticity — these are the defining characteristics of Legends, and are what makes the Montblanc Legend rightfully so.

The new Montblanc Legend fragrance is available to be purchased at Metro Singapore’s online store. Once you’re done with this story, click here to catch up with our October 2024 issue.
