Legend
by Aaron Terence Hughes
This fragrance presents a clean, modern interpretation of the classic aromatic blue scent, blending fresh citrus notes with a strong ambroxan presence and woody depth. The opening features bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, creating a bright, invigorating burst that lingers moderately before settling into a smooth, slightly sweet base of tonka, patchouli, and elemi resin. The overall impression is crisp and appealing, reminiscent of editions of Bleu de Chanel or Sauvage, with a balanced, wearable character that feels both contemporary and slightly nostalgic. It performs well in warm weather and suits those who enjoy benchmark blue fragrances—familiar yet elevated in quality. The scent is exceptionally well-balanced, projecting moderately with a clean, slightly metallic edge that many users find enticing and socially engaging.

Cons
- −Longevity is moderate, with noticeable fade after several hours despite excellent projection
