Monsieur Lanvin

A true gentleman 's fragrance of the 60's! Lanvin Always makes refined and superb blends, and this is absolutely gorgeous. It opens with a light taste of lemon and fruits, then u can feel cinnamon, clary sage, lavender, carnation, touches of leather and civet. This soft animalic note gives a bit of edge and masculinity. This is in the same league of dior eau sauvage, monsieur de Givenchy etc but less lemony and a slightely more rugged. Another similar is eau d'hermes which has a similar leathery-civet note. If u want a more "modern" comparison i think versace l' homme has something in common with monsieur Lanvin. This is good for a man over 40, spring is the best season but u can wear it in any time of the year. It requires elegance even in the casual situations. Moderate performance. Oldie and goldie! Profumo da gentiluomo anni 60 corposo e raffinato, in linea con eau sauvage o forse più eau d'hermes versace l'homme. Raffinatezza di altri tempi allo stato puro! Scent-8,5 Longevity-7 Sillage-7 Uniqueness-8 Versatility - 7 Compliment factor-6, 5 Back up bottle? Maybe Presentation-6 My vote -8,5 In one word- 60's Alternative - eau d'hermes, dior eau sauvage, versace l'homme, monsieur de Givenchy, Alpa chypre. The review is based on a vintage bottle.

Trigger alert: if you have sensitivities to lemon, green notes, clary sage, carnation, civet, and powder, move on pronto. If a classic 60s fragrance that embodies all of the above sounds like ambrosia to you, Monsieur Lanvin would be rapture. My bottle is a pressurized atomizer, and I need to be so careful as to not drain its contents in one application, but it is divine. My gamble in scoring yet another vintage on the cheap resulted in a near pristine condition, with very little degradation to its top notes. It's miraculous, really. Monsieur's verdancy seems courtesy to petitgrain and a touch of galbanum, but the real showstopper is this spicy floral accord. Most notably featuring jasmine, it is buttressed by civet (do you understand your civet yet? It doesn't always necessarily smell pissy and certainly shouldn't smell poopy), powdery, plush, outlawed nitro-musks and leathery undertones. For some reason when wearing this, I feel like watching old episodes of Cannon or Kojak while wearing this. Who loves ya, baby?

A true masterpiece now discontinued since 1991? Go and ask why? The house of lanvin should have kept Monsieur Lanvin in production! Such a pity👎 this is a true gentleman fragrance🕵️ ❤️ so complex and so well blended! A true masterpiece🏆❤️🏆
