L'Homme

by Alberto Morillas

Lanvin L'Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Alberto Morillas. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Neroli, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Cardamom, Pepper, Mint, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on L'Homme: Favourite

This Morillas creation is a classic, though it shows its age a bit. It is a fresh, clean charmer that people still love for its soothing nature, despite the performance being a bit of a mixed bag. Not a groundbreaking scent, but solid for the price.

Date

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings where it won't overpower. While some find it romantic, its light nature means it might not shine as brightly on formal dates, but it works well for daytime sports due to its invigorating feel.

About

L'Homme opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, softened by the delicate floral touch of neroli and classic lavender. As it settles, a fresh spicy heart emerges with a kick of pepper and the herbal nuances of mint and sage, intertwined with warm cardamom. The dry-down reveals a comforting base of smooth sandalwood, amber, and a hint of creamy vanilla, all grounded by a clean, musky embrace.
