The bottom line
Sample first
The note lists only partly line up — close in character, not a copy. Try it before you commit.
Owners rate Armaf Legesi the longer-lasting of the two — 7.5 against 6.4 — so the cheap bottle isn't the one you re-apply.

Everyday, work
A year-round build: lavender-and-herb aromatics up front, dry woods underneath, without the weight that ties a scent to one season. It suits ordinary days and the office; there's no occasion it's saving itself for.

The analysis
Sample it first. Armaf Legesi matches 3 of Montblanc Legend's 9 notes — lavender, rose and sandalwood — but misses tonka bean and evernyl. Two base notes short, and Armaf Legesi leaves Montblanc Legend as it dries. It adds rosemary and petitgrain of its own. Owners give it 7.5 for longevity against 6.4 — 1.1 of a point clear of the bottle it copies. 30% on notes is thin — performance is what carries this one. $36 against $112: 32% of Montblanc Legend's price. Sample it anyway: the part it changes is tonka bean and evernyl, and no shop card tells you that.
