It seems everything that is Michael Jordan is success. This juice makes no exception, I wouldnt go as far as saying this perfume is a legend, but the man who put his name on it definitly is.
The fragrance in itself has a deep and dark feel to it. The base notes appeared immediatly to me. I havent got a wiff of tea from it and quickly forget about the bergamot, but still, it’s amazing just to wear this comfortable and easy to enjoy scent. It’s not daring, but it just lasts long enough to make heads turn. You could wear that on a date, on christmas eve, in vacations. It never feels tacky and despite being something we’ve see quite a few times, it still manages to catch attention because it’s very well crafted. They choose to go classic and it paid well.
I get mostly amber, coffee, patchouli and leather from this.
If I had to compare it to anything, I would say velvet. Smooth, refined and sensual. You can’t really go wrong with this scent but I would avoid it during high heat.
Thanks for reading my review!

There are some similarities with Zara Gourmand Leather. This is waaay better. Totally unisex.
HENESSI640 – :
A great Bond No. 9 New Haarlem substitute! No brainer blind buy.
SLOW – :
first off, this smells NOTHING like playboy vip! to me, it has an unpleasant old man vibe to it. like its a old man type of floral. i don’t really like it
Tatughgap – :
For the price you would expect a cheap, sharp, synthetic smell but I don get that, I get a nice, smooth, creamy smell, The performance It’s really good, 3 to 4 sprays give me 8 to 10 hours in winter (I find this one really enjoyable in this season), The projection It’s strong in the beginning, after 2 hours it turns in to a bubble around me, With good sillage (it will leave a pleasant trail behind you).
Judging by the smell and performance of this fragrance, the price should be in between 30-50 USD, but you can get it for 15 to 20 US Dollars… That’s just crazy, This is a good, solid fragrance.
Esokespoics – :
I love how MJ Legend combines fresh and gourmand elements so seamlessly. Great smell, and great value considering the price. Performance may be a little towards the lower end, and you may need to spray a lot, but once again, given the price, MJ Legend is still a good deal.
cwk19 – :
Ok kids, listen up!
MJL is AWESOME considering the price. Ive received many compliments with this juice. This is like the ‘Warm Sugar’ body spray that the chicks wear, except this smells Warm, Sugery, with a little coffee and leather lingering in the background to keep this bad boy sweet and alluring. Love this stuff specially since its so cheap, just keep it in the rotation and it will last you years, unless your a meathead who bathes in frags. No huff and fluff, Just Facts Bro!
imiplewapGB – :
This is a very light, warm, inviting scent.
It smells very close to Axe Dark Temptation, but not as strong.
Still on the search for the perfect coffee scent, but I will definitely use this.
olegxxx777 – :
I got this along with New Haarlem, I tried NH first, and now I’m trying this.
I probably won’t really go into a massive amount of detail but this was a pleasant surprise to me.
Basically imagine the maple syrupy sweetness taking a backseat for the lavender powdery notes.
It doesn’t smell cheap whatsoever and it does have a bit of a syrupy tone for sure but it doesn’t choke you with it.
Do I prefer this over NH? Not if I want to smell gourmand, no. But for more casual use this is a much better option as it’s not only cheaper but less heavy.
Sillage/longevity is good.
If you want to smell like breakfast consisting of hot cakes and coffee, get bond 9 NH, if you want to smell a bit like hot cake syrup but with something more fresh, Micheal Jordan’s Legend is one to pick up for sure.
deadspace2 – :
I have purchased this perfume from FragranceX 0.5 oz. It opens with stron smell just like usual perfume there is nothing special.
leshabur – :
I neglected this scent for a long while thinking “How good can a Michael Jordan fragrance be”? Well… I broke down and purchased this the other day, and man was I wrong! I’m actually a bit angry with myself for avoiding this. It is very impressive. Smells a little leathery with a little coffee & cream. Most definitely worth the small price tag. If I could change one thing, it would be the longevity. Not very long and holds real close to the skin. If this were an EDP, it would be flawless.
Anhel108 – :
After trying Rochas and Givenchy Play Intense; the other two gourmands this is most often likened to, i must say..i dig Rochas and GPI but CANNOT come to liking this. It comes off way too sickly sweet. You always pay for what you get and i was again reminded that lesson when buying this. Glad it was only around 20 bucks. However, the original MJ and Legend 23 are definitely blind buy worthy. This and other decent cheap shit can be a sneezer though:/
lesheey0108 – :
This cologne smells very close to Rochas for Man (I own them both) and I have no problem with longevity/projection – it lasts some 8-10 hours on me and projects well. Definitely thumbs up!
LenochkaRose – :
Smells sweet with a slightly fresh powdery scent. Clean and masculine, can’t wait to wear it more when the weather gets colder! I think it’s gonna get lots of compliments!
poocuk – :
Smells good. All of these people taking things to the extreme are ridiculous! It cost 12 bucks what do you expect??!! It smells delicious ! It’s not nearly as cheap smelling as some of these guys are spouting off about. Longevity not great. Sillage not great. But it is a beautiful scent that will get you compliments when freshly sprayed. I’d definitely say get Rochas Man unless u just want to add this to your collection.
RA3MAC – :
If you are a fan of Axe Dark Temptation, then try this one. As an EDC, performance is low as others have written, but still better than the Axe body spray. To me, worth the $10 try for a 3.4 oz bottle.
victor711127 – :
Before I get into my review of Michael Jordan Legend, let me start off with this in reply to another reviewer… I find that most gourmands smell alike. And most smell vanilla, even if they don’t. The only ones that don’t are Rocawear Evolution, Paco Rabanne 1 Million Privé and Ralph Lauren Polo Red, but two of those are balsamic ones and two have coffee as a prominent note.
Anyway that’s enough, let’s review Jordan.
Michael Jordan Legend is one of the first gourmands and one of the earlier from the Michael Jordan line, Legend came right on the heels of A*Men and Animale Animale for Men. It is similar to like most of the gourmands I have used and own but different at the same time. The three things I think of with this scent are sryup, french vanilla cappuccino and 1 Million. Legend is basically maple syrup in a fragrance bottle and I think that is from anise. When the syrup dies down you get coffee nearly French vanilla cappuccino. For some reason while there is no vanilla note, and I think it maybe the cappuccino like coffee scent this plays on my skin, it smells vanilly. Finally for some strange reason, I feel that as it dries down, it goes into a 1 Million like base due to the leather and tonka which are two notes common in the different 1 Million flankers as well as its length of projection.
Now I also want to say that unlike Michael Jordan’s self-titled cologne and another reviewer’s nose, I don’t smell (rubbing) alcohol in this scent. Alcohol over-powers Jordan’s Michael Jordan. This I don’t get the alcohol note at any point during this scent. Maybe it is the way it smells on their skin. Michael Jordan 23 also isn’t alcoholic so I guess it isn’t a trait of the house like some may think. This is another scent that makes this a pretty good celebrity house option.
I find that Legend projects for about three hours. I did one spray on each wrist, one on each side of my neck which is my usual (unless I know a scent is super strong) and it projects to my nose right now, nearly three hours in. I find that the moderate projection lasts for one and a half hours. The scent becomes a skin scent after three and a half, four hours and lasts another three to four hours easy as a skin scent.
Where to use Legend is where it takes a hit. It’s a good fall/winter scent for day and night as well as spring at night. That said, it isn’t overly sexy like say Playboy VIP for Men or 1 Million Prive (semi-similar scents) so I wouldn’t use it for close encounters like clubbing or dates (well unless you know your date loves cappuccino). That said, it is worth use for relaxing, work and formal occasions, despite the pricing. It is the first of the Jordan scents I’ve owned that is not sporty and I’m fine with that.
I feel that Michael Jordan Legend is awesome. It spurred at least three scents to all but copy its notes and also has some similarities to VIP for Men by Playboy, though I feel that can stand on its own. For this reason, I give Legend an 8.1, putting it in my top 4 gourmands behind B&BW Mahogany Woods, A*Men and Ralph Lauren Polo Red and my number 1 Michael Jordan scents. For its price and for its copycats, look no further for a great dumbgrab gourmand.
aub032Negeltzex – :
smell like a cheap gourmand, which is what it is, but after getting a better sense for what makes a good fragrance you will find it not so special, good first cheap gourmand tho.
Syriban – :
The fragrance may be awful on Your Skin on Your Nose, but on others (and, by the opinion there are many) it may be exquisite. Perfumes are not an exact science, they vary so much from person to person.
nabson – :
This fragrance is a joke. The sillage is non existent. The projection is literally inches. It turns into a skin scent within minutes after application. The people that praise this water must be on crack or paid by the Michael Jordan colonge house.it smells good for literally 5 minutes or less. Total crap!
seamion – :
I bought this because I had a small decant of Bond no 9 New Haarlem that I fell in love with. Since, NH is quite expensive I heard this was very similar and decided to buy it as this one is definitely within my price range. Interestingly enough, this cologne was created first so NH would technically be the dupe of this. It smells so much alike I can barely tell the difference. Not at all cheap or super synthetic, the silage and longevity is about the same ( not the best but not the worst) I probably won’t end up getting the bond no 9, maybe if the scent had better longevity or something but no so I think I’ll just stick with the original 😉
putigoi – :
If RM was expensive i could understand this one but nah
Bottle and branding wise i would definitely go with this one
pas86 – :
A sweet start the citrus cannot control that gives us a big heads up of things to come. Legend is Sweet.
For a few minutes after the initial blast lavender took central stage, it was dry but with a warm candy aftertaste, and actually i really liked that part.
It did last, but then some cheap musk and amber started to take over. Vanilla is not listed but this is what the whole combination smells like, i love the smell of vanilla, but here it is cheap and restrained. This is to be expected of course, though there are cheap fragrances that i actually wear (Blue Sugar, Taxi, Brut, Caractere) and like. This one I don’t. When in the mood for the sweet kind of stuff i always have my Rochas Man, A*Men, π, Gaultier 2, Blue Sugar, Ultra Male…. to greet me smilingly and welcomingly.
A nice try, sweet, but simple and flat,
**(***)
Liss – :
Another blind-buy, as most of my perfumes these days. Bottle is really heavy but the cap is a cheap plastic. Scent is sweet, cloyingly sweet, longevity is much better than Gaultier 2, since I sprayed them both on my arms separately in this 10-degree winter temp. Gaultier 2 has faded after 2 hours, this one still goes on. Initial spray didn’t quite smell like Rochas Man (my signature scent), but I could tell the drydown is, a faint similarity. Unlike RM where top, middle and base smell stays quite the same, this one only smells better on drydown, a cheap imitation of RM. For casual wear and if you’re looking for a synthetic but inexpensive imitation of RM, this is it.
Rufful – :
simile a new haarlem e a rochas man, ma decisamente meno complesso e assai più economico, questa piccola delizia stuzzica la gola con note di caffè, cioccolato e anice, miste ad ambra. niente di impegnativo, beninteso, ma, per quello che costa, è una dolce gradevolezza non stucchevole.
Iolfogio – :
This is a cheap, cologne. Not inexpensive, but cheap. Anybody who has worn Bond no. 9 New Harlem or Rochas Man could tell that. Bond’s new harlem comes off more syrupy and inviting. Rochas is a bit more marshmellow sweet. Both of them are better quality and last longer the MJL. I do like the scent, but it is a bit too aggressive for a weak projection and longevity fragrance. It comes off as very cheap. I get a lot of caramel in this, which I do not know if I like.
Longevity: 7
Projection: 3
Sillage: 3
Scent: 5
RoMaN_13 – :
Nice fragrance. Unmistakeably gourmand. Smells like Playboy VIP, although less Playboy-ish (you would know what I mean if you’ve tried a few Playboys, they have a kind of youthful tang to them). Doesn’t smell like coffee, although it does capture the mood of coffee somewhat: strolling through a street lined of cafes and pastry stores.
At the same time, it knows it’s a perfume and not a bottle of pancake syrup. It has a sexiness that you expect of a fragrance, and which you wouldn’t expect from a food.
Performance beast. I find it annoying in fact, how long it lasts. And can smell it on my self easily, for hours.
I like it for a Saturday morning. Would be too sweet and gourmandy for me to use more regularly than that. But good for what it is.
vitya_5 – :
Tested on: paper strip.
Impression: popcorn, buttery, creamy.
Goes into my wishlist.

vul623speagoessenda – :
This is my second best winter fragrance behind F by Ferragamo Black. Nowhere near as reined as New Haarlem, but still a great coffee, syrupy smell to it that garners massive amounts of compliments. Amazing fragrance for the fact that you can purchase a 3.4 oz bottle for about $17. In terms of the best quality cheapies, this tops the list along with Nautica Voyage. This one lasts about 6-7 hours on my skin and will project for about 2 hours. After those 2 hours, it will continue to smell beautifully with that coffee carrying throughout the fragrance and a cedar, musky base. Seasons to wear this will definitely be Fall and winter. A must buy!
Scent: 8/10
Projection: 6.5/10
Longevity: 7/10
Value for the price: 10/10!
Seasons: Fall and winter
rgkgpduobp – :
Seneng banget akhirnya bisa dapet fragrance ini. Karena sebelumnya sudah sering baca kalau Legend dianjurkan buat penggemar wewangian gourmand atau yang manis-manis seperti coklat, vanilla, dan madu.
Memang betul, ini wanginya seerti yang dikatakan orang-orang: manis. Seperti ada campuran coklat, kopi, dan amber. Tapi manisnya bukan yang bikin sakit kepala. Aromanya tetap terasa laki, karena ada unsur spice dan sedikit green, mungkin dari patchouli-nya.
Cocok buat malam hari, karena nuansanya hangat. Tapi kalau saya sih malah seringnya pakai buat ke kantor, bisa lah saat musim hujan atau cuaca agak dingin. Kekuatan projectionnya oke di awal-awal. Tapi daya tahan agak lemah, karena kategorinya Cologne Spray.
Buat yang suka aroma gourmand, saya cukup sarankan ini. Dan bagi yang kesulitan mendapatkannya, saya beli di Parkson Department Store, Hartono Mall, Yogyakarta. Harganya sekitar 550ribu.
SheesePoP – :
Michael Jordan Legend is a Mcdonalds pancake breakfast. As others have mentioned it is syrupy and sweet and the sweet notes overpower the scent. Still, it has lavender and bergamot in it and it is lighter than some of the other sweet winter gourmand powerhouses that one could buy and wear.
One of the interesting things about Legend is that it is manufactured by the 5 star fragrance company. This company has manufactured several of my all time favorite fragrances like Ulysse and Sirene and I almost always that their products far outperform their price tag.
I get an easy 6 hours out of Legend though it starts to fall off sharply after 6 and enter skin scent realm, where it holds on but dies at 8 unless I go heavy on the trigger. I enjoy the mid better than the opening and drydown and it has a bit of a bell curve scent profile with me enjoying the heart from the 2-5 hour mark better than the front and back end of the scent life.
As far as usage goes, It was probably my most used scent the last 2 winters. I probably hit the trigger a couple of extra sprays during winter as its clearly a tick lighter than some of the powerhouse winter fragrances I could use. I imagine that a person could pull back on the trigger and wear it spring and fall though I put it away and do not. And the right person could probably pull it off in summer though I have other summer scents that I personally like a lot better. This has a lot more John Stockton than Michael Jordan in it. Stockton played about 500 more minutes in his career than did Jordan and hit a far higher field goal percentage. But he did it with less flash and glamour. And of course he had a lot more assists and helped his team in other ways than being a black hole of taking shots every time he touched the ball. Jordan Legend is kind of a solid scent in a non flashy manner. I have purchased 2 backup bottles of this fragrance for under $10 each and I doubt that I would purchase more. When I pull this one, I usually wear this in the morning and afternoon and end my day with something different. I have never received a compliment or a complaint and it seems to do its job and go away when I want it to leave and hit the bench.
Overall, I am going to grade this out at 88 or B+. Its clearly above average yet doesn’t achieve special status worthy of an A grade. Like all 5 star fragrances that I’ve yet smelled, it smells better than its price grade and is often compared to true Legends in the fragrance game like New Haarlem and Rochas Man. It performs well. Its easy to find and buy. And its honestly hard to find a reason to call a foul.
At the start, I compared this one to a McDonalds pancake breakfast. And McDonalds makes a fine product which was so good that people clamored for them to serve it all day long and now they do. This is a $5 an ounce fragrance and it does its job, is completely likeable and sticks to your ribs a bit. 15 minutes after you put it on you are full and good to go until lunch or even dinner.
Michael Jordan Legend is not the flashiest of scents or even as exciting as its namesake. But I cannot think of a single occasion, time of use, event, or occasion where one could wear this and feel that it was out of place or wrong.
Michael Jordan Legend is a very good fragrance for when you want to start your day off right and break your fast with a bit of sweet goodness.

like the other guy said…coockie..dougnut..pastry shop…all in one bottle…with a mild coffee to wash it all down…mike j….shits awesome no bs
dyedKnide – :
First dab sampling: This reminds me of something I sampled around 2008, but I can’t seem to place it, perhaps BalMan or Casran (I had a sample of that at the time). Anyway, it’s got strong lavender that is tightly blended into what is like one big accord. It’s soft and a bit sweet, but not syrupy, powdery, or blob-like. Don’t expect strong and distinct notes of coffee, leather, cedar, or tea. The “quality” seems surprisingly high, and it can be unisex for women who like lavender, just give it a while to come together.
UPDATE: Regular wearing. I get mostly the vanillic and lavender elements in the drydown. It’s “nice” but I already have scents like this, and it’s kind of old (British Sterling/Canoe-ish). Not enough coffee or leather for my preferences. I think King of The Game by Playboy is more interesting and the coffee note is more obvious (and I don’t like lavender notes when they are this strong). I’d say it’s a good “starter” scent for someone who is looking for something just a touch different, but again, by now this is probably regarded as “old”-smelling by the youngsters. I obtained a partial bottle in a swap so I can try this again, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be in the mood for, so I’ll likely put it up as part of a lot sale on ebay at some point, or swap it off.

Identical with AXE/LYNX TEMPTATION Sweet heavy chocolate coffee vanilla …
lgksaga – :
This fragrance is like a coffee/bake shop in a bottle. Imagine freshly cooked pancakes smothered with maple syrup with a hot cup of coffee on the side. Definitely a gourmand. I think this scent is perfect for those colder “Netflix and Chill” days.
aziz – :
I just blind bought this scent, haven’t smelt it so far.
Some people mind the bottle, I don’t, it’s not made of plastic or something, sprayer is fine too.
As far as the scent goes, I am coffee lover – I like strong, plain, black coffee. And I don’t smell coffee at all.
I’ve wore it for 1hr now, its pretty linear so far. The first few minutes can be bit overwhelming until alcohol evaporates.
I don’t have anything similar to this.
To me, this doesn’t smell like coffee unless you you really go wild with imagination and mby biased with listed notes.
I am a guy and I would say this can easily be unisex scent(which I dont necessarily mind). It has that powdery, old lady’s parfume smell. I even think this reminds me of women’s famous chanel no.5 …powdery, floral, musky.
I’m in EU, so I can’t rly say this smells like pancakes with syrup, as we don’t eat that here. I would say YES, it’s sweet, but floral, spicy…not like food sweet.
I have sweet tooth, I love coffee…but I don’t get any of those in this scent. Lets say if someone gave me food that smells like this, I wouldn’t eat it, because this is more of a classical powdery parfume smell.
If you want cheapie that smells somewhat classy, powdery, sweet, florally go with this.
I think it’s a crowd pleaser, most people will like it, some will love it. Don’t expect smelling coffee and cookies, because it’s just not it.
My final verdict: I didn’t regret blind buy (not taking the low price into account)
uchep – :
First off, I haven’t smelled any of the frags this is compared to so I am coming in on this based entirely on itself.
Smell: As far as smell goes, the Pancake Syrup comparison is pretty spot on to me, with one exception it has more spice to it. Picture syrup on a cinnamon and nutmeg infused pancake. As for the notes themselves it’s really hard to pick out one specific note from start to finish, it smells uniquely of itself which I consider to be a good thing.
Projection/Longevity: The projection and longevity are a little bit puzzling as some days it lasts forever and somedays it’s gone quite quickly. I attribute this much in part to the sprayer which I will cover in my bottle review. I tend to use more of this than I would like (5-6 sprays) which seems to be the sweet spot for a moderate projection and enough lasting power to hit 8hrs.
Bottle: One look at the bottle and you will sort of get a gripe about it. I have nothing against Mr. Jordan, but I think putting his silhouette on the bottle takes away from the perception of quality. The bottle shape does bring it back a bit with the nice clean square look of the bottle is quite satisfying to see. However, though the bottle appearance is meaningless, the sprayer is very inconsistent. Some sprays are a full mist as they should be, some squirt, some throws out droplets. On top of this, the sprays are about 1/3 to 1/2 sprays compared to all of the other scents I own.
Conclusion: Though the bottle does detract a bit from Legend, everything else is excellent. The smell, though compared to several things is excellent and in the price range of $15-20 retail. It lasts for a long time 8+hrs with moderate projection after you get a good reading on the sprayer. It’s really warm, inoffensive, and did I mention you can get it at K-Mart for $16.99?
Final Verdict for me is if you don’t have/want to spend the money for the pricier comparisons, you need this, taking price into account 10/10 for smell, 8/10 for longevity and projection, and about a 3/10 for bottle/sprayer design.
Edit: After a few more weeks I have to admit longevity isn’t as good as my initial thoughts, or at least in cold weather (40-55F). I actually think this is a coolish night gorumand (mid 60s to high 70s) instead of being for cold weather. Downgraded to moderate.

EDIT
====
Longevity : 8 hours on my skin ! damn, is this a real “cologne”? cause it seems like it is not. if so, then it’s an A++++ !
received mine today.
and i’m glad for this blind buy 😀
Sweet? yes. Warm? Absolutely. Lovable? indeed. make someone want to hug you? i think so.
i think its better worn on the colder days. its a pretty damn good for a cologne ! don’t let that “cologne” tag fools you ! this thing projects, and it might be lasts for sometime on my skin i guess (will review the longevity later)
opens up with nice sweet-spicy vibe. when the Anise shows up, it creates a perfect warm vibe together with coffee and amber. i do agree, it reminds me of A*Men, even though it’s not as sweet as it is. this one is a keeper ! gonna buy another bottle as a backup 😀
Overall :
Scent : 9 out of 10 ! well done MJ !
Longevity : will update this later.
Projection : Moderate
Try / buy /pass : definitely a BUY !
amiros1 – :
I was once very interested in smelling this fragrance, but kinda forgot about it when I got New Haarlem. I kinda figured this scent couldn’t be as good, call it niche snobbery that’s fine. And well, do I like this as much as New Haarlem? No. This just doesn’t blend as nice and doesn’t have the silage.
But, hey. This is still pretty good! Great amber-y coffee scent with a nice fresh lavender. Very warm and cosy, less heavy than new haarlem if you found that too strong. I consider anything less than $20 that can remind me of a scent that costs over $100 remarkable. Great job michael jordan, this is a fantastic affordable scent.
noaraf – :
Michael Jordan Legend is definitely the most hyped fragrance of the MJ line, and particularly for the price, it lives up the hype wholly as an enjoyable gourmand. While not nearly as refined as the likes of Bond No. 9 New Haarlem or I Love NY For All, Legend nonetheless hits on most of the fun marks of sweet gourmands—cocoa, coffee, syrup, etc. In that respect, though, I cannot detect many specific notes but rather just a sweet, bakery/coffeehouse congestion of some of the abovementioned concepts. It’s unoffensive, though, at least in my opinion. Not surprisingly, longevity is lacking, but projection is actually decent (maybe a few feet).
I obtained a 15 ml sample as part of a 4-pack with other MJs (MJ, Flight, Flight Sport) and this is far and away the best. Available for about $15 for 100ml on FragranceNet, it’s difficult to beat as a cheap cold weather option, assuming you prefer gourmands as much as I do. Definitely a must-try for gourmand lovers.
7 out of 10

Smelling this cologne reminds me of eating an entire cupcake with frosting. I want to gag immediately from the sweetness.
Diabetes in a bottle.
oku – :
I am glad I stayed open minded and bought this fragrance because for the sales tax amount on number 9 – new Harlem is the same as a full bottle of this. I have sample many niche fragrances and to be honest, this surprises me ……what a wonderful scent . I chose over new Harlem since the longevity and silage are great and I can’t detect any synthenticness to it…. This is a gem
люлю – :
This is a very nice scent. Very syrupy and sweet. I liked it but it wasn’t very long lasting on my skin. I couldn’t smell it after an hour. But for the price it’s worth trying I think. I decided to sell my bottle because of the longevity issue and because I had other similar gourmand fragrances at the time.
zShnyaga – :
Not bad, not bad at all! I got this today while the wife and I were out shopping and I must say, the (well deserved) hype on this one is real! It is a very soft, vanilla-ish/slight coffee/semi-gourmand scent.
I hear all sorts of comparisons to New H Bond and Rochas, I believe this one is well worth purchasing for any frag head out there.
You simply cannot beat smelling good, almost edible for 16 dollars! The first thing my wife said when I put it on was “wow, that’s that 16 dollar cologne I smell? I thought it was going to smell cheap but it smells fantastic!” her very words 🙂
8.5/10 terrific value and great scent overall!
FYAQ – :
I think the dry down is reminiscent of Givenchy Pi
vados9110 – :
This one feels like a cross between Rochas Man and Lolita Lempika Au Masculin. Not as sweet or creamy as Rochas, a bit spicy but not as spicy as Au Masculin. Its a good scent for the price (the other two are not that expensive too though), but not nearly as refined as either. Sits very close to the skin after the first hour or so, which makes it good for work. Rochas and Au Masculin are interesting and grab your attention when you get a whiff, this one somehow does not. At all! hmmm.
drobik1963 – :
It does indeed smell Like Rochas.It’s not that strong on me, I feel like the longevity is good, around 8 hours but it becomes a skin scent pretty early.
And although I couldn’t smell it after 1 hour I sprayed it on me, I still got a few compliments in work (that was around 2 hours after spraying it)
Vitaluwka – :
I must say, at first I was excited when I found this at a local discount store, because of the reviews I read here. I was almost embarrassed when I had to ask for someone to get it out of the case for me. But I’m very glad I went ahead with it. I won’t repeat what most of these other reviews have to say, but I was very happy with what $12.99 got me. You can tell it’s not the best ingredients used in this, but it still smells great. This is something I will definitely use on a more day to day basis, and save my Givenchy play intense for more special occasions. I can use this often and reapply whenever I feel necessary and not have to worry about the price. Definitely worth buying if you like what the notes and other reviews have to say.

Best 12bucks I ever spent my main winter
afiget1977 – :
Coffee, definitely a black coffee smell. Kind of reminds me of Kahlua a little, sort of coffee liqueur. The coffee is really the dominant note. There are some other notes in there, not just straight coffee, but mostly coffee. Could be good for hooking up at cafes, lol.
You almost certainly have smelled this before. Your first whiff of Legend will make you go, “Oh, this is what those guys were wearing.” Certainly the affordability of it makes it prevalent. I got a 3.4oz bottle for $13.
Legend is one of the best “bang for your buck” frags out there, if not the best. It smells good and for $13 it smells really good. It might not be a $100+ scent, but I can see people easily believing it cost 2x, 3x, or more the price tag. If you are looking to build an affordable collection or even just someone who can afford more expensive stuff but aren’t so stuffy you have to look down on something just because it is affordable, this is nice juice. A very affordable gourmand. Legend makes the list of a lot of youtube reviewer’s list of best affordable frags and deservedly so.
I agree it lasts about 2 hours with decent projection, then sits pretty close to the skin, but you can still smell it over 4 hours, close to 6 hours later. That’s solid performance for an affordable EDC, no doubt: as good or better than some more expensive EDTs.
I would be very wary about wearing this on a hot day or for sports. Yeah, ironically you shouldn’t play basketball wearing Legend. In addition to recognizing this scent, I could also recognize when I’ve smelled it
