Lanvin L'Homme

She would imagine a “children's fashion” department in 1908, choose her logo, expand in 1920 and pass away in 1946… It was in 1925 that the olfactory adventure of the house of Lanvin began, with the creation of “Lanvin Parfums”. After numerous successes, the house unveiled in 1997 “L'Homme Lanvin”, a very rare fragrance between chic and casual.

L'Homme Lanvin

The Lanvin fashion house is the symbol of elegance and refinement. The fragrance “L'Homme Lanvin” however seems to mark the beginning of another style, that of casualness. Its character is less structured, freer than previous fragrances, and “L'Homme Lanvin” displays an undisguised boldness. “L'Homme Lanvin” expresses a new man, a bit more whimsical, but still very refined. The creation of “L'Homme Lanvin” was carried out at the same time as the ready-to-wear creations of Dominique Morlotti. Like this collection, “L'Homme Lanvin” is both casual and sophisticated. More than anything, “L'Homme Lanvin” is free and authentic. This is why its fragrance suits an athlete as well as a businessman.

The floral and woody freshness of L'Homme Lanvin

It is the renowned nose Alberto Morillas who is behind “L'Homme Lanvin”. He wanted to convey the scent of a clean, freshly ironed men's shirt. The man wearing this shirt would therefore be sensual and elegant. “L'Homme Lanvin” opens on fresh, citrus notes with mandarin, bergamot and lemon. These are then joined by spices, such as coriander and nutmeg. The heart blends florals with aromatics and features lily of the valley, jasmine, lavender and clary sage. The base is sophisticated and sensual with the presence of cedarwood, sandalwood, tonka bean, ambergris… An elegant and very masculine result. As for the bottle, it displays lines that are both simple and understated. It is a somewhat forward-looking bottle, since it is very contemporary, even though it was created in 1997. Its silver cap adds a final touch of virility.

Between casualness and sophistication, this is “L'Homme Lanvin”. As if marking the beginning of a new era, “L'Homme Lanvin” is less strict than the house's previous fragrances. Its floral and woody composition is bold, yet also virile. Because “L'Homme Lanvin” is the man of today, its fragrance stands the test of time with great ease.
