The new Parfum d'Empire fragrance: Le Cri
Much more than a simple writing instrument, it has become a legend. As if to pay homage to the latter, Montblanc therefore designed, in 2011, a perfume bringing together all the aesthetic codes of its iconic pen. This one is called Legend and is intended to be the fragrance of a man who is at once virile, elegant and determined . Following on from this essence, Montblanc has decided to develop a more seductive version called Legend Night.
When the heat takes hold of the Montblanc bottle
First of all, let's start by observing the visual of this new perfume. Indeed, it is in perfect agreement with the fragrance it contains. Legend Night is delivered to us in a bottle with the same shape as its predecessor. It is a sort of resolutely masculine flask, endowed with timeless curves but with a robustness instantly giving off a feeling of virility. On the other hand, the color code of this new perfume has been metamorphosed. In the past, it was presented to us in an opaque black glass topped with a silver hoop. Everything undoubtedly recalled the Montblanc house pen. Now, Legend Night begins with a warm and copper color at its base before evolving to an opaque black top. Everything gives off a feeling of comfort, of masculinity and sensuality. However, it is precisely this feeling that emanates from the recipe for this new perfume.
The very nuanced fragrance of Legend Night
To make Legend Night, Montblanc has chosen to call on a duo of perfumers composed of Olivier Pescheux and Antoine Maisondieu. In reality, this choice is not really a surprise if we consider that Olivier Pescheux is already the nose which is at the origin of the very first Legend. Both have chosen to portray the image of an assumed but very nuanced masculinity to us. Legend Night is a fragrance intended for a confident, seductive and comforting man. Quick-witted, Legend Night lets all the ardor of the Montblanc man shine through from the start of his wake. This fragrance begins with aromatic notes of scarlet sage associated with the freshness of peppermint, cardamom and bergamot. The dynamism of this perfume is absolutely intense but is quickly relayed by a warmer and more elegant heart. Legend Night is a juice made of many nuances which then lets float a scent of lavender associated with cedarwood and violet. Its carnal aspect, for its part, only appears at the level of its base. This shines through in a trio of patchouli, musk and vanilla.
