Mont Blanc Acqua Di Profumo Emblem Lady Vapo 50ml

Honestly, I think it smells as if Nautica Voyage and EL Oxford Bleu had a baby. Opening with that sharp, sweet fruit and then settling into the woody, musky dry down. The apple lingers, a little tonka provides warmth. It works and it’s nice. I smelled it once at Macy’s back in early 2021 and I really liked it. Seemed very sophisticated compared with things like Bad Boy and Spice Bomb Night Vision EdT(s). I passed on it then but never forgot, and with it being just. so. inexpensive. on the grey market, I finally bought a bottle. This review is after one full wearing. I’ll update after I’ve tested it more often. So far so good.

Imagine stepping out of a nice cold shower after being out on hot slightly humid day. You feel clean, refreshed, and smell good, this is the image i get when i smell this perfume. It is clean, bright, soapy and floral that is both elegant and posh. The opening is fresh, but quite quickly it transforms into a thick, warming, hugging and sensuous cloud. Makes you feel happier, more "sunny", makes you smile more. A fresh neroli and white flowers opening, beautiful jasmine, orange blossom and lily of the valley, on a bed of musk, vanilla and warm sandalwood. Totally It is definitely an alluring clean jasmine scent but without "wow" factor.

This is almost exactly what I would expect from an EdP release of Legend. I did expect more performance, so that's where I feel that it didn't meet all my expectations. The smell is slightly darker and more mature (via a hint of leather) and also less fruity-fresh than the original, almost like you jump right into the heart and base of the original. It does feel like the original heart and base are amplified but the overall performance does not improve much over the original. In fact, it feels like the scent has lost the sparkle on the top end and is a bit duller, with less projection, which may appeal to some who think the original Legend was too loud or juvenile. The original EdT is one of my all-time favorites due to its versatility and mass-appealing scent, so I like this EdP release very much since they are quite similar. Due to this similarity, it could be redundant to own both.

as always, i'm sasatisfied with this perfume. so love it.

Love the smell but it doesn't last very long. Not worth the price.
