The version featured here is EDP — Eau de Parfum. Fuller and richer than the original Legend Eau de Toilette, so it comes across a little differently.
Leather, wood, oakmoss, greenery — that’s a direction I enjoy. A really good perfume in this line, specifically in the EDP version. It has that fullness I like.
On me, I can confidently say it lasts seven hours, perhaps even eight. It holds up quite well, with a recognisable scent trail too. A good, lasting fragrance with a character of its own. How it will wear on you, I don’t know — you need to try it.
I enjoy it in spring, summer and autumn, while it’s still warm and not too cool. To my taste, that’s when it shows itself at its best. But again, that’s my opinion, and it may well differ from yours.
If I were choosing between Legend Spirit, Legend EDT and Legend EDP, I’d choose EDP. Precisely for that fuller, richer feel. That’s the version I prefer.
