... I become tipsy. This scent was the signature fragrance of my father during my childhood and youth. Whenever I catch a whiff of this fragrance, I get teary-eyed. I then see in my mind's eye a straw-blond, two-meter-tall, athletic man with his sky-blue eyes that always sparkle with mischief. Along with that, his white teeth grin at you from beneath his blond full beard. Of course, I realize that I see this from a son's perspective. Next January, he would have turned a hundred.
With this fragrance, you first get a true old-school herbal green spicy fruity citrus scent in your nose. Underneath, woods and floral accords blend in, with cinnamon making its presence known. And since this is a scent for men, leather, civet, oakmoss, labdanum, and myrrh storm the stage and make this fragrance truly masculine. A very slight sweetness with vanilla comes into play, and the musk gives it a dry, powdery finish.
The longevity and sillage are good.
Here, the house of Lanvin has created a true gentleman's fragrance that I definitely see suited for men in their mid-twenties and older, especially those with hair on their chest. It's not really for the younger crowd. Even women will prefer to smell this fragrance on their men. It is a scent that can be worn on both cold and warm days. During the day, it likes to accompany an elegant suit with a tie and cufflinks, but it’s not offended if it’s paired with a casual suit or even dress pants with a shirt and a sweater draped over the shoulders. In the evening, it blossoms in a tuxedo or evening suit just as well as in jeans and a leather jacket.
Anyone who enjoys a herbal green spicy citrus woody slightly floral dirty dry powdery and just slightly sweet fragrance would actually be right here. Unfortunately, this fragrance is no longer produced.
