Leg3nd for men Body Mist Review

It appears that every Perfume House under the sun at some point in time, will release a flanker called Legend. There is of course the infamous Mont Blanc Legend Men, or Legend Blue. I picked this Body Mist up, called Leg3nd For Men, and thought it would be worthy of a quick review. This you can seek out on eBay as an EDT if this piques your curiosity.

Advertised as a long lasting fragrance that exudes sophistication and elegance. It's suitable for both daytime and evening wear, perfect for any occasion. The notes are a fusion of premium ingredients: Crafted with high-quality and natural ingredients for a refined olfactory experience.

Let's take a look at the bottle before getting into the scent profile.

The lopsided cap is very plasticky, along with the rest of the bottle, yet secured with a reassuring click. The bottle is translucent, and is better to look at than to hold. The atomiser is terribly jumpy, and dispenses unevenly which is always a disappointment.

Opening notes:

I was hoping to get something aquatic in the opening but got a very harsh acidic alcohol-hit. This is not an exploration into a fruity oasis. There is a slight puff of Johnson's Talcum Powder about it, and it doesn't open up to anything else pleasing. There is some synthetic mandarin, maybe a little sour cherry. However, it smells quite cheap and I'm sorry to say, made me gag a little.

Middle:

The middle unfolds eventually like a tough Christmas cracker. Though the bang never goes off, and the toy inside is crap. It has a soft underbelly of sandalwood, maybe a dusting of amber but nothing to hang your hat on at all. There is no 'harmonious and distinct scent profile' as advertised, and I'm left thinking maybe I should take a shower and get it off.

Ending:

The drydown has a hint of musk, and flirts with the idea of a tobacco note, but that's about it. Luckily the sillage is short and it sits so close to the skin, that I don't worry about the scent affecting others around me.

Where to wear:

Tough one this. I would maybe keep it handy in the bathroom and let your guests spray it around after pooping up your toilet. Maybe wrap it up and gift it up to your nephew or someone else you don't like.

If I was forced to wear this out, I'd probably just have some on my crotch as I go boxing. Maybe that's the talcum powder note working its way in by osmosis.
