Lanvin L'Homme Lanvin 1997 Eau de Toilette

~ This is what air, clean white shirts and heavenly dreams are made of! From the very crisp and fresh bergamot and neroli opening to my favorite middle notes of a soft creamy lavender this is a pleasant people pleaser! The base offers lingering amber notes that are almost translucent but still detectable in almost a subconscious level. A smart, sophisticated, safe skin scent with lasting sillage! Perfect for a day at the office or a sunny afternoon in the backyard on the hammock.
Kind Regards, Plat ~

Starts off bright, soapy-fresh, citrusy, and a little sweet. Fresh soapiness comes from lavender, citrus seems to be mostly coming mostly from bergamot and neroli (especially up close, a tad bitter), and the slight sweetness seems to originate from the mandarin orange. I notice that off of my shirt, because the fragrance drys much slower, it stays on the sweeter side for longer. Overall, a nice smell in the beginning. Fairly light projection, but definitely creates a scent bubble. After an hour+, I still get a bit of a scent bubble but projection has definitely calmed down. Overall scent is still a bit soapy-fresh, musky (musk in the base), and even a little herbal (sage). Still getting a little bit of bitterness. 90+ minutes in, I'm loving the muskiness that seems to be taking over the soapy-freshness. After almost 3 hours in, I can barely pick this up around me. It's barely coming off of my hand, but I feel as if it might have a stronger presence off of my shirt. Ultimately smells musky with a hint of neroli and creamy sandalwood. Very, very light, but very pleasant. This is an easy to wear, classy, masculine scent that will be great for casual daytime wear (perfect for work, lunch date, etc.). 4 hours later, I can conclude that shirt-spraying with this one is the way to go. I feel like the fragrance has rested at its heart notes in its sillage, and it gives off a consistent, pleasant aura. By the 6th hour, barely a skin scent. Safe range for longevity on skin is 4-6 hours.

Im feeling very sad yesterday i was arranging my collection yesterday & i have two bottle of this one of them is half & the other one almost full , anyway i try to sniff the full bottle and i was shock . the notes change 100% nothing like original , it become soapy .

The opening is delicious, it smells clean and pure, like fresh air; certainly the mix of neroli with citrus is great.

After the opening becomes soapy, a good soap though, but I don´t like to smell like a soap bar, so ... not for me.

It is musk and citrus, the combined character of the fragrance is cool, blue, citrus, spicy, woody in order of proportion from the flankers of 212, glam men 212, the similarity of the scent with Lanvin lhomm is why? Because the combination of musk and orange in Lanvin with, for example, cocoa and musk and woody compositions in glam evoke almost a similar scent that is not very close, but despite the difference in notes, they induce a dominant citrus scent in the same order, and Lanvin has its own freshness and sweetness. The longevity and diffusion of Lanvin are awful and glam are about 30% better. Galm itself is somewhat similar to 212 men, so perhaps there is a relative similarity between the first and third. In any case, Lanvin lhomme is not recommended due to its longevity and diffusion and repetitive and usual scent, considering the greater strength of 212 and the existence of a cheap and powerful competitor with similar combinations and applications called CK One with a more coherent texture.
