two brand new releases from 2020.

talk about one from cajon this is ame
moa commission suite
love me as i am so if you guys want to
check these out stick around
the video's up next
what's up guys welcome to another video
today we're going to talk about two
brand new 2020 releases one from mont
blanc and one from cajon
now real quickly background cajon is a
fragrance that's been around since the
early 1900s
1904 to be exact so it's a fragrance
house
that has a lot of history a lot of great
fragrances in this house very well known
for
cajon which is a vanilla uh lavender
type of ascent it's a little bit
metallic very popular
i like lip third ohm which is one of my
favorites from the house it's a very
underrated
barber shop as well as yuzu man which is
a great yuzu fruit
uh very sparkly very citrusy fragrance
that i love from this particular house
a lot of great stuff here very
underrated but we're gonna take a look
at this one here
which from the looks of it looks to be a
little bit ambery boozy
tobaccoy but more from this one in a
second the other one is going to be
legend 2020 release this is the 10th
flanker of this particular
collection now one block started into
fragrances back in 2001
and since then they've gotten a ton of
different little lines including of
course the legend collection which this
is the 10th release
and this year guys let me tell you it is
the par from ear every single brand is
putting out about thumb
edition about thumb flanker of some sort
with montblanc was no different
so we're going to dive into this one
here as well and take a first look at
first impression the montblanc legend of
the performance if any of these are
worth
your time and money and of course if you
want to see a full review on these guys
let me know with the like let me know in
the comments below let me know what you
guys think about these two at the end of
the video
and then i'll come back with a full
review if you guys want to see one so
let's dive into these all right so we're
going to start with this column release
here
this particular release from 2020 and
then why come on just wait love me as i
am so this
is the release from 2020 here's the
handy dandy test trip we're going to
give myself
a first spray here to see what this is
all about so
all right at the first spray here what
i'm getting actually you know what let
me give myself a blast on my hand as
well so i can figure out how this is
going to transition on skin
so what i get from the get go guys this
is going to be a vetiver
base scent but not just a regular
vetiver base scent
i get the smokiness i get the earthiness
of this or the vetiver
but i also get a very sweet very
pleasant facet in this fragrance so it's
like a modernized
vet of her scent if you are not into
vetivers i know a lot of youngsters out
there
don't really like that ever since
because they find it too old school to
old man-ish
too heavy this is not that at all it's a
nice feather facet
so you're gonna get that fast that i
talked about it's earthy it's smoky but
it's in the background the vat over here
is not gonna be that old school type of
harsh
vetiver that i like instead it's got
some really
nice modern components you have a
beautiful ginger up top you have some
hazelnut facets some nutty facets
which i really really enjoy this is very
sophisticated it's very elegant i can
see
a gentleman in the early 20s or even
like you know
older gentlemen pulling this off
perfectly it's versatile in the sense
that
it smells great it's going to be in the
same vein as your versatile all year
round
you know dress up dress down type of
fragrances this could be perfect
potential signature scent love what they
did here the ginger the haitian vetiver
it is
definitely predominant here but it's not
harsh i love the hazelnut the ginger
facet there's also a fruity
nuance to this fragrance that i think is
from the grapefruit that also stays
throughout the fragrance so you're gonna
get this fruity
vetiver with a nutty facet with the
hazelnut
it's very creamy it's very wearable
think of like a a
lighter sweeter creamier version of
tandiamez
that's kind of what i get here really
nicely done really nice executed from
house of carol
and again the house itself very
underrated if you haven't
tried i've heard of this particular
house definitely give it a shot these
guys have been around like i said since
90 early 1900s
they know what they're doing fragrance
classic classic and classy elegant
sophistication in the bottle this one
right here
really enjoy it not yet available in the
u.s this was actually sent to me from
europe
so i'm not sure when this is going to
hit the shelves here in the u.s or where
it's going to be available but i'm sure
this is going to hit your favorite
discounter in the near future let's get
into this right here mumbai legend of
this has gotten a little bit of
limelight a little bit of talks in the
communities along with arrows
all the perform from versace as well as
victor and rolf's
night vision or the bathroom like i said
the year of audepa every company is
doing it
and with montblanc was not no different
let me give myself
a blast on the strip here as well as on
my wrist
so we can kind of get a feel for this
one so
right off the bat a very pleasant
opening here but the same thing that
you'd come to expect in fact i brought
intense legend which is my favorite from
the lion i know it very well
actually let's do this
i actually like legend intense better
than the other patham
reason being i think this is fruitier i
just
love this one to me my favorite from the
whole legend collection up to this point
i don't think there has been anything
that was released
up to this point that beats this
particular one legend spirit it is nice
fruity also a little bit aquatic but
this one here is woody spicy with the
fruity nuance that's really uplifting
get some lavender here as well
the cardamom the red apple the cedar
wood just done and executed to
profession
my favorite from the lion this reminds
me of fragrance like platinum ego ease
from chanel it reminds me of of course
abercrombie and fitch fierce which i
think was the inspiration behind this
whole
legend collection but i think it's more
of the same to be honest with you if you
ask me
this is going to be 95 90 similar to
this one minus that fruity red apple
that i talked about this does not have
the red apple
so it's not as fruity it's a little bit
drier if i had to pick up between the
two i could find this discount i don't
think maybe this was discontinued maybe
this is the answer to this that was this
continue don't quote me on that i'm not
100
sure but the intense is a much better
fragrance all around
again i have not worn these i don't know
as far as like performance projection
longevity but on the first
spray here the first impression i think
this is more of the same this is a money
grab if you will
which i really think a lot of these
older platforms are some are not
i just did a recent review for you of
boss bottled
buff actually 20 20.
that is actually a really nice
composition they did a good job taking
that you know
original boss bottle and making it
creamier with the sandalwood the apple
still there so it's exactly what i
expect from a flanker in the odeopa foam
variety does not project as much but
gives me a creamier heavier
unskinned uh you know profile just like
i got with lip bar foam from jean paul
gaultier i also think they did a great
job with that particular release if you
guys want to check the reviews i'll have
them up here
i do enjoy that one a lot one of my
favorites from 2020
but legend or form i think it's money
grabs in fact if you ask me between the
two
which one would i choose i would go this
one all the way i just think it's a
better scent altogether
it's not more of the same this is
different it's creamier it's smooth it's
classy
and the hazelnut with the vetiver gives
me a whole different
aroma profile not like this one this is
definitely more of the same i think
money grabs
if you do must pick one of these up wait
for it to hit discounters don't spend
retail because i don't think it's
definitely
uh worth the retail price that it
fetches i don't
know if this is yet available in the u.s
again both of these figures were sent to
me by the same person i think they got
it from europe
so all things considered this is
probably going to be in the
90 to 80 kind of a range um and i think
i would wait for it to be you know
discounted for you to pick one up so
let me know in the comments whatever you
are hailing from if you have tried any
of these fragrances
are you familiar with the house of quran
let me know your thoughts on the house
and do you think like myself that a lot
of these
companies with the older paw fum and
many of the flankers are nothing but
money grabs
let me know your thoughts down below i
think it's getting out of hand with the
flankers i mean this is the tenth one
just from the legend alone
don't get me wrong mon blanc has some
really good fragrances um
individual is a great one i think was
released in 2003 which is uh
similar to creed's uh original centaur
but actually came before original sent
out which i believe was
in 2005 so who's copying who here but
that's the conversation for a new video
