What does Lanvin for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Spring, fall and summer lead while winter trails; leisure, daily wear and business sit alongside evening and night out. Masculine and classic are the characters most voters pick.

It opens with citrus brightened by neroli. The heart of lavender, sage, mint, cardamom and pepper adds a green, spicy, cooling edge, with carnation giving a floral touch. Sandalwood and musk settle the base into a woody, leathery calm. Acqua di Genova 1853 Men and Dior Cologne Royale have a close profile.
