Lancetti Monsieur (Eau de Toilette)

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it leaves a balanced trail that stays fairly close to the skin. It reads as a men's fragrance, and its green, spicy fougère character suits those who like the classic style.

The top is cool and bright with bergamot, lemon, thyme and mint, while Provençal lavender and Paraguayan petigrain add a green edge. In the heart, clary sage, rosewood and nutmeg soften the opening with some spice. The base settles into a woody, resinous and slightly smoky bed of frankincense, sandalwood, cedarwood and patchouli.
