Les Notes de Lanvin - I: Vetyver Blanc

Lanvin · 2011

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Lanvin Les Notes de Lanvin - I: Vetyver Blanc is a fresh, green unisex scent where citrus meets earthy vetiver, and it leans towards spring and summer. Most voters pick spring, then summer, and it is worn mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. It has been discontinued. Bergamot brings a citrusy freshness, while vetiver builds an earthy, green core. Freesia adds a light floral touch, and sandalwood softens the woody, slightly spicy side. The overall impression is clean, simple and cool.
