The very essence of femininity and luxury, Mont Blanc Legend Pour Femme simultaneously conveys sophistication, elegance, self-confidence and delicacy.

Bright and intense, it opens on an accord of neroli, slightly underripe crunchy pear and bitter orange. It is fruity, tender and subtle but not sweet or childish. It is a perfume of pleasure, obviously.

At the other end of the olfactory spectrum, musk, vanilla and some blond woods anchor the fragrance in a slightly powdery sensuality and the presence of a vapour trail that does not offer itself to the first one who comes along. It is a perfume that embraces you, absolutely.

Between the beginning and the end comes the soul. Essence of orange blossom (almost honeyed, the way it smells in Mediterranean gardens at the end of winter), reconstituted lily-of-the-valley (green and white, irresistible) and Indian jasmine (also known as grandiflorum), lavish and yet so delicate. It is a woman's perfume, assuredly.

One must now reckon with Legend Pour Femme, faultlessly tempting, a tribute to modern luxury with timeless endurance.
