What does Legend Special Edition 2012 smell like?

The opening of mint, mandarin orange, ginger flower and bergamot reads citrusy, green and aquatic. In the heart, lavender, jasmine and rose add a soft floral layer. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood and oakmoss settles into a sweet, woody floor, with the fougère structure and a light spicy touch staying in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it sits close to the skin rather than filling a room. It reads masculine. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Montblanc Legend (Eau de Toilette) and Aigner Private Number for Men (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
