    What do reviewers say about Mankind and Legend?

    Mankind offers a more subtle presence than fragrances designed to fill a room. The pineapple-cedar drydown sits close to skin, intimate but noticeable to those nearby.Mankind
    Some fragrances introduce themselves. Legend shows up. Bold from the first spray, with the kind of sillage that turns heads without trying too hard. It's not subtle, and it knows it.Legend
