Aromatic freshie, citrus meets spices, classy and versatile
My final of the initial catalogue of eleven perfumes from Vivamor Parfums is Urbane, an aptly-named sophisticated fresh blend of citruses, pink pepper, gin, lavender, and cardamom. In the rest of the Vivamor and Navitus catalogues, it reminds me most of Navitus Petit Matin but it’s still quite different from the freshies in either line, and therefore adds some diversity to both lines. There’s very effective parity between the citruses and the lavender, gin, cardamom, and pink pepper. It’s just the right amount of spicy, sharp, and floral to pair effectively with the fresh citrus elements, over a standard woody base. It’s easy likable, smells sophisticated, and feels quite versatile.
Like the rest of the line, Urbane is priced at $155 for 100ml and is in extrait concentration, sold not only via the house website but also Perfumology. It performs well, albeit not quite as well as some of the darker, more wintery / gourmand concoctions in the house, but very well for a freshie. Overall, it’s among my favorite freshies in the Vivamor / Navitus world.
7 out of 10
