Mont Blanc Legend Spirit Review – Is It a Must-Have?
Legend Spirit.
An affordable and alluring fragrance for men.
Mont Blanc Legend Spirit was released in 2016. It is based on citruses, aquatics, and musk. It lasts seven hours on the skin with moderate projection.
In this review, I will describe its smell and performance and if it’s worth it.

What Does Mont Blanc Legend Spirit Smell Like?
The opening starts with a punch of bergamot and grapefruit. What’s the main idea? Extreme freshness. They are citric, but neither have the authentic faucets they often have.
Underneath is a lining of warm cardamom and pepper. All sit atop an aquatic backbone.
This will remain present the entire wear but never become overpowering. The citruses are fading, and cardamom fills its void at the ten-minute mark.
After this period, cardamom takes over, bringing lavender. I don’t smell a heavy aromatic or floral nature but enough freshness to keep the cardamom light.
What’s the main idea in the mid? Fresh spices atop an aquatic backbone.
Give the scent one to two hours. Woody nuances will make their way in. There are no specific notes, just accents.
Once the dry-down finishes, you’ll smell more prominent woody oak moss. While oak moss got stronger, a decent dose of musk was added. The rest of the wear is woody spices atop a musk aquatic backbone.

Legend Spirit Performance
How Long Does Mont Blanc Legend Spirit Last?
Legend Spirit lasts seven hours on the skin with moderate projection.
In the first hours, it pushes out a couple of feet, but as it dries down, the scent recedes. This performance is with five sprays. I’ve tried spraying heavier, and it was diminishing returns.
When Should I Wear Mont Blanc Legend Spirit?
This is exclusively spring and summer wear. No notes in this fragrance give it significant depth to push out in cooler temperatures. It also has a stereotypically warm weather aroma.
We don’t usually think of aquatics and citruses as a winter aroma. In a four-season climate, you’ll get four months of wear out this.
As for occasions, it is all. This is one of the better parts of the scent, as it is easy to wear and versatile.
Does Mont Blanc Legend Spirit Get Compliments?
Lastly, mass appeal and likability are excellent; it made my “sexiest colognes for men” list for a reason. It is so likable for the reasons above. A subtle and mass-appealing aroma.
Yet, it still has a quality scent profile that never comes across as decisive.
Mont Blanc Legend Spirit Clones
There are a few clones of Legend Spirit. The most similar is Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua; the other is Rasasi Hawas for Him.
Invictus Aqua is citrus and aquatic-based. But not as light and fresh as Legend Spirit. This comes from the heavy amber accord in the base. Invictus Aqua is also more expensive.
Rasasi Hawas for Him, is citric and aquatic-based but has a prominent fruity note. Like Invictus Aqua, it is a slightly heavier fragrance. Thankfully it’s about the same price point as Legend Spirit.
Final Words
Legend Spirit is worth it. It is one of the best from the brand. Everything about this fragrance is slightly above average but extremely affordable. This is a simple grab, spray, and-go fragrance.
Its only downfall is that it won’t be unique to those who have larger collections. This may come off as too simple.
Legend Spirit is an excellent cologne and a likable one. Yet, don’t just limit yourself to Legend Spirit. Check out the Sexiest colognes for men.
