Montblanc Legend is a solid budget fragrance with an appealing scent profile, but the community consensus is that performance is underwhelming—especially on skin. Many users recommend sampling before purchasing, moisturizing skin beforehand, or applying to clothing for better longevity. The fragrance is respected as an affordable entry point but should not be blind-bought due to variable skin chemistry effects.
