What does Legend smell like?

Leather and patchouli lead, with cedar and moss giving it an earthy, woody base. Coffee and aniseed bring a sweet, gourmand side, which amber and musk soften. Bergamot, lavender and green tea add a little freshness to an otherwise heavy composition. The accords read spicy, oriental and resinous.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out, then for work and daily wear. It reads as masculine. Bvlgari Bvlgari Black and Elie Saab Cuir Patchouli have a close profile.
