The Green Grass of Home
This fragrance deserves an objective opinion. I think I am right in admitting that we all appreciate having intense and different perfumes, bearing with our favourite notes, that we buy almost at any price, that we will use only on some occasions, and that we consciously classify as "our masterpieces". On the other hand, we consider it indispensable to have some perfumes perhaps cheaper than the previous ones, consensual, versatile, and not too intense, that we use distractedly in our everyday life and that we mentally label as "good for almost everything".
Lavande & Vétiver falls completely into this second type of fragrance. It is clearly a masculine fragrance, although I can imagine many women wearing it as well. We can classify it as an aromatic fougère, an aromatic woody, or even a spicy fresh perfume. Its eclecticism lends itself to this vagueness. Its lavender and vetiver notes are very clean, denoting carefully selected ingredients. I imagine the fresh lavender comes from the Grasse region, while the clean, more ethereal vetiver may well have been selected from the finest Haitian samples. Light notes of tonka and iris add some softness and sweetness. The vanilla note in the base is also light enough to add just a bit of spicy sweetness. It's just not strong enough to highlight similarities to the more intense alter egos "Pour Un Homme de Caron (Eau de Toilette) | Caron" and Le Mâle Eau de Toilette which are often compared to this very affordable gem from Jeanne En Provence. In fact, I only notice a remarkable similarity with Pour Un Homme de Caron L'Eau.
The performance is barely moderate and more in accordance with the low price of this fragrance.
This is a daytime perfume, a crowd-pleaser, moderately fresh, extremely versatile and very easy to wear in work situations, at home, on walks in the park or around town, and even at the gym and on the beach. Its low price should make it even more attractive, rather than making buyers wary, as seems to be the case most of the time.
Clean and crisp ratings for Lavande & Vétiver:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
- Opening: 8.5 (clean and crisp lavender and vetiver).
- Dry Down: 7.5 (The initial clean strength of a herbal and woody fougère becomes a little more mainstream with more wood, added sweetness and less crispness).
- Longevity: 6.0 (3 sprays last up to 4.5 hours).
- Sillage: 6.0 (up to 4 feet and 2 hours of projection, with 3 sprays).
- Uniqueness: 8.0 (Unique in its price/quality ratio. I can only conceive of a true resemblance with Pour Un Homme de Caron L'Eau, although, due to its popular scent type, it features vibes reminiscent of "Pour Un Homme de Caron (Eau de Toilette) | Caron", Le Mâle Eau de Toilette, Luna Rossa Sport, Signature Eau de Parfum and Etienne Aigner Nº2 Eau de Toilette to name but a few).
- Wearability: 9.0 (I consider it a daytime perfume that should not be worn in very cold temperatures).
- Versatility: 9.0 (it is very versatile and is suitable almost everywhere except in evening events).
- Praise: 7.5 (Not bad, but also not exceptional. However, most people will recognise that you will smell fresh, clean and pleasant).
- Quality: 8.5 (Very good. Considering its price, it should deserve a 10).
- Presentation: 7.5 (It uses the standard bottle from Jeanne En Provence's men's line; it is simple, effective and tasteful).
- Price: 10.0 (100ml flask under €10.0 at Notino).
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Overall rating: 7.95 / 10.00
- between 7 and 8 = above average;
- between 8 and 9 = recommended;
- above 9 = definitely not to be missed;
My opinion: This easy-to-please scent is a clean and fresh flagship for the male audience, adapting to many different types of men and environments due to its versatility. Its fragrance style, in line with the breed generalised by Le Mâle Eau de Toilette and "Pour Un Homme de Caron (Eau de Toilette) | Caron", makes it appeal to both male wearers and female noses, though without arousing huge romantic passions. A few weeks after buying it, the perfume will probably have run out leaving just the empty bottle. It will be an excellent sign.
A blind purchase is totally justified by its low cost, consensualism and versatility.
