An endless source of inspiration, it has since become a signature Montblanc color carried down through the years, across collections from writing instruments to leather goods, and now fragrance with the introduction of Montblanc Legend Red. Bold and eye-catching, the color red captures the fragrance’s complexity and masculine intensity. Men’s 3-Pc. Montblanc Legend Red Eau de Parfum Gift Set $108
