Lavande & Vetiver

This fragrance deserves an objective opinion. I think I am right in admitting that we all appreciate having intense and different perfumes, bearing with our favourite notes, that we buy almost at any price, that we will use only on some occasions, and that we consciously classify as "our masterpieces". On the other hand, we consider it indispensable to have some perfumes perhaps cheaper than the previous ones, consensual, versatile, and not too intense, that we use distractedly in our everyday life and that we mentally label as "good for almost everything". Lavande & Vétiver falls completely into this second type of fragrance. It is clearly a masculine fragrance, although I can imagine many women wearing it as well. We can classify it as an aromatic fougère, an aromatic woody, or even a spicy fresh perfume. Its eclecticism lends itself to this vagueness. Its lavender and vetiver notes are very clean, denoting carefully selected ingredients. I imagine the fresh lavender comes from the Grasse region, while the clean, more ethereal vetiver may well have been selected from the finest Haitian samples. Light notes of tonka and iris add some softness and sweetness. The vanilla note in the base is also light enough to add just a bit of spicy sweetness. It's just not strong enough to highlight similarities to the more intense alter egos Pour Un Homme de Caron and Le Mâle which are often compared to this very affordable gem from Jeanne En Provence. In fact, I only notice a remarkable similarity with Pour Un Homme de Caron L'Eau. The performance is barely moderate and more in accordance with the low price of this fragrance. This is a daytime perfume, a crowd-pleaser, moderately fresh, extremely versatile and very easy to wear in work situations, at home, on walks in the park or around town, and even at the gym and on the beach. Its low price should make it even more attractive, rather than making buyers wary, as seems to be the case most of the time. My opinion: This easy-to-please scent is a clean and fresh flagship for the male audience, adapting to many different types of men and environments due to its versatility. Its fragrance style, in line with the breed generalised by Le Mâle and Pour Un Homme de Caron, makes it appeal to both male wearers and female noses, though without arousing huge romantic passions. A few weeks after buying it, the perfume will probably have run out leaving just the empty bottle. It will be an excellent sign. A blind purchase is totally justified by its low cost. On top of it, it's consensual and versatile. Music: Kool & The Gang - "Fresh"

Well it is in the same vein of Old Spice, calm to be thick, but discreet to be sweet, classy and confortable style, even i prefer pumped up sweet scents but considering the notes listed here seemed to write an ADN of fougere ones like Therre Hermés, but NO, i am fooled by the info mentioned. Getting back this one is sophisticated, but simple, maybe as a gift for a man who doesn't like sweet cloying scents, don't look the green bottle tasting a green fougere charm because is NOT. I have MANY lavender bottles on my boutique but are harsh and crispier, in a good interpretation. But as positive mention, here you will have like a Lavender Balsamic Liquor, great gift, masculine and sexy.

I love this scent so much, it's a tragedy that it's cheap and the performance mirrors the price. if I could pay 10 times the price for this exact scent with great sillage and longevity, I would. (I will try Le Male and update if it's the same) The scent is that of a forest fairy, a beautiful lavender with the green notes of the vetiver taking you to the woods. It's so simple and so good, it doesn't need anything else. The packaging and bottle is also gorgeous and feels very luxurious despite the price. It is certainly a more stereotypically male perfume, but it suits women too. I find it better on women because it's more unique.

Wow! Can believe no one mentioned that this passes as a dupe for Black Bvlgari (the Unisex one in the round bottle)! Has that same 'burnt rubber' or bicycle tire accord that Luca Turin talked about, exactly the same sweetness too. I remember when I first started buying perfume purely off Turin's direction, when I was learning about perfume, Black Bvlgari was one of the first that I bought. It felt wildly innovative when I first bought it but now it is like an old familiar favourite. Unfortunately Black seems to be discontinued now so go for this one. At the price of this, it's a no brainer.

This fragrance was purchased after seeing a review by The Perfume Guy, and it was added to an order of other perfumes due to its incredibly low price. It features few notes, with lavender being the dominant scent, resulting in an overall extremely relaxing accord. It doesn't have much projection or longevity on my skin. Lately, I've been using it on my pillow in the evening before bedtime, as a sort of olfactory treat to help me fall asleep.

This has a really strong ressemblance to Le Male. However it's less harsh to the nose (i think its the lack of the mint). Really love the natural Lavender in this perfume. For the price it's really a no brainer.

This has the DNA of JPG Le Male, for the price it is a really good alternative. Longevity could be better but is a very good fragrance. Opens with the lavender and leaves the vetiver behind on the dry down.

Get it if you wanna smell like a forest fairy, I dont really think it's that masculine so I'm gonna be wearing this all summer , the logivity is okay for the price all in all good everyday perfume 😊💚

Got this for fun, just to try a brand. I really like it. Its simple and clean. Good for daily wear. More masculine but anyone can pull it off. 10/10. Would reccomend. And cheap too.

I just love it. So cheap yet gives me spa vibes. I does not smell like your typical cologne. I love to wear it for a chill evening and even to bed.

Okay I had to come back to give another feed back this might be one of my most favourite perfumes ever its simply beautiful

I used to hate this because it was too sweet and powdery but I used up 2/3 of the bottle since march, when I posted this

I douse myself in this before a 10 minute bike ride to work and it makes me feel SO hot and mysterious

my teenage son wears this to school and it's a lovely scent. would recommend for quality and price.

The whole thing is a little misleading: a green bottle, in a green box that mentions only lavender and vetiver. What does it suggest? To me -at least- something green, breezy, dry, herbaceous, rooty, woody. Well, it is not what it delivers. The aroma is heavy on lavender, that much is true. But then there is this non-descript slightly-woody/fruity/vanillic thing at the base (which the pyramid above does not mention) which makes it a little heavy, in a way. It is a lavendery-sweet but without the brilliance or "gravitas" of, say, Caron Pour Un Homme. It is rather nice, perhaps a touch too sweet for my taste. But, for the price, it is solid: lasts and projects fairly decently. Moreover, tends to go well with other lavender-based scents if you layer it. Serviceable.

Lavande et Vétiver Review Lavande et Vétiver is a beautifully fresh and slightly sweet fragrance with a smooth, well-balanced aroma. The lavender is soft and aromatic, giving it a clean and inviting feel. While I don’t get much vetiver, the scent remains elegant and refined, with a warm touch that makes it incredibly wearable. It’s a fantastic alternative to Le Male, offering a similar appeal but with a more natural and less synthetic vibe. For the price, the quality is outstanding—definitely a great deal!

It's good for the price I had bought it at, mostly I liked it before I started my fragrance journey and tbh it is fine also my ex liked it a lot. For the price about 11 or so euros it's fine but I doubt I'll buy it again mainly I got is as a gift a while back and now if I buy something I'll probably go for something higher end like from Lattafa or something

Very very decent fragrance for the price. Sweet lavender and vetiver is what you have here. Similar to the dna of JPG Le Male. Longevity is not great but considering the price, you can't complain.

It's nice. It does smell of Le Male only softer. The name of this misleads you a bit Longevity and silage only moderate.

It ́s Le Male without the mint. The Jeanne en Provence quadruplet is really worth the money.

The talc sent is prominent on lavender in my opinion. It is a bit too sweet.

This definitely reminds me of Le Male

Lovely scent. Unfortunately does not last long. Won't buy again

I tried this a few times and can say I do not like it. Its opening is a harsh, sweet chemical concoction that really smells nothing like vetiver and lavender. It smells like other Arthes fragrances I have tried and reminds me somewhat of lacquer thinners or some other solvent. I would have thought that something which purports to be to some degree a reflection of Provence,would have made the attempt to smell more natural. Not so. A big thumbs down from me, and I am pretty easy to please.

This for me it is a lineal tonka bean and lavender. The performance is dismal so I would recommend to avoid it even at the <10€ it goes for. From this line, Neroli and Aqua are the quarry, much more original, better performing and interesting -although Acqua is a misnomer- check it's page. Haven't tried Cade but usually too few reviews means it sucks. Note to self: All those 10€ blind buys scrubbers add to 100€ eventually, and that's the good one that flew away to discontinuation.

After enjoying the other 4 fragrances from this line I had high hopes for Lavande & Vétiver, which were unfortunately let down beyond expectation. To put it simply, I cannot stand this scent - this is the 4th time I’m trying it on skin and after this I’m getting rid of it, this doesn’t even warrant a full wearing. This is simply a lavender bomb, but not in a good way. This is not a lavender of good quality, you’ll find no classical masculine barbershop vibes here. Instead, this is the type of lavender you see in Le Male and Phantom - sickly sweet, thick and overly synthetic to the point it brings on an instant headache. The quality is just appalling, not to mention it’s unfortunately the strongest from the line so it does not let up. Obviously for the price you can’t complain that much, but the other offerings from this brand display surprisingly good quality for the price so I had expected more. If you like Le Male you might like this but even writing this review I hate myself for putting it on my own skin.

What a scam this was. Lavande & Vetiver has little lavande and less vetiver. Here are the real notes AS PRINTED ON THE CARTON: Top notes: lavender, bergamot, blackcurrant Middle: tonka bean, iris, cedarwood, tarragon Base: musk, vanilla, guaiac wood What does this smell like then? Like a salad that a dog has licked, and vanilla. A bit sweet, a bit warm, a bit soapy, green and fuzzy. Tarragon and vanilla are the dominant notes. Who even likes tarragon? Not clean enough to work as an air freshener. Neroli Intense was nice for the price, but no more Jeannes en Provence for me.

I recently ordered the excellent Acqua pour homme by this company, direct from them. I received a sample of 'Neroli Intense' (not on the database) which was interesting (and strong!) but also emanating from the package was another scent, I kept trying to work out what it reminded me of. Digging through the polystyrene chips like a lucky dip, at the bottom of the box I found a card which stated that my package had been perfumed with this fragrance. A nice touch indeed. Lavande & vetiver most definitely brings to mind JPG Le Male and certain other lavender scents, although I don't think it's an actual clone. I highly recommend this line of JeP fragrances, the only problem being that each time I discover a great value company such as this, with decent & inexpensive products (including gems like 'Acqua'), I have trouble justifying spending more on the other (usual) designer brands!

As anitaolong said, it is sweet and soft. The herbaceousness is probably the softest attribute, more green than herbaceous to my nose. The top notes are aggressive, but very fleeting. I picked up an undertone of butterscotch candy after it dried on my skin. It doesn't last long, but at the price point- I dare not complain. It's the perfect scent for when you wake up early on a Sunday, shower and you're just not sure where the day may take you. There is no possible way I could compare this to Le Male by JPG. That's a beast, this is a domesticated pussycat.

At the beginning it's so fresh and cocooning at he same time.then it slowly becomes so similar to 1 million of paco rabanne which i don't like much. this one is better, classier and lighter, not so overwhelming than PR.

A sweet, soft, herbaceous, fresh cologne. I find the orange and lavender opening uplifting. The fragrance is not long-lasting but, for the price, is a good mood-lifter when I smell it on my hubby.

Ver Very refreshing cool scent I would like percieve vetiver and lavender only. That other notes make it more masculine and herbal sweet.

Makeup powder or milky pralines with a touch of vetiver. Very natural scent which reminds me a bit of Bleu De Chanel. totally feminine

This is unisex and georgeous. Soothing, comforting, relaxing, ..maybe a bit luxury spa like, but rich quality smell.
