Sensational citric all-rounder with stuff for signature!
I came across a little juniper berry & citric trip the other day, just kind of felt like doing something fruity and herby.
And there's really a lot of good choices here.
But my eyes fell mainly on the comparison between:
Mancera - Lemon Line, Frapin - L'Humaniste, and Xerjoff - Nui. Of course I already have Allure Homme Edition Blanche, which is a no-brainer par excellence. But more about that later.
They all have a little bit of the influence that I like, just quite natural citric, smooth, balsamic sweetness, and a certain refreshing astringency, as if green lemon peel or juniper berry were present This refreshes immensely, appears noble and more special than "just fresh" fragrances.
Now I would like to talk about Lemon Line:
We have a nice citric note here, surrounded by musky nuances that give the whole thing a smooth attitude.
But there are also harsh notes that help to keep the whole thing interesting, and to give it a bit of "edge". (Lavender and rose geranium play a big role here...)
It is a fairly linear, and possibly not necessarily versatile fragrance. "What you see is what you get".
But he's doing a great job of this... i can really imagine Lemon Line in every scenario, wedding, funeral, casual, in a suit, job, and leisure time, it just always fits.
It is also often declared as a unisex scent, which I can relate to. However, it is rather not such a typical women's fragrance, but whoever likes to wear "Coco Mademoiselle", and this certain "strictness" that goes with it, would like to wear it even more outwardly, - be our guest! D
And yes, for men on the other hand I don't find him super-masculine from the stereotypical notes of composition, but he does lean more in that direction. (oakmoss, but rather little.)
It is very similar to the above mentioned fragrances, whereby I would like to compare it with two of them in particular:
"Allure Homme Edition Blanche" is like Lemon Line additionally with the "Chaneleade", the DNA of the house.
But otherwise really very similar, especially the creamy and the implementation of the lemon. But with a little extra detail, decorations that make the overall impression a little more multi-faceted
Frapin's "L'Humaniste" describes the sub-genre in a different direction, simply leaving out some of the sweet and creamy nuances, and focusing even more on fresh and tart. Still a tick sweet, but just reduced, and therefore more in the direction of "Summer Cologne".
And back to Lemon Line, which again hangs well in the middle of everyone. It also contains a slightly artificial note in the silage, which seems to me to be a taste enhancer a'la Iso-E-Super, but not in the amount where it is disturbing,- on the contrary, it makes the whole thing even more modern, and interesting!
My application tip is not to apply too much of it though, as it is very intense, I would just appreciate highly concentrated "eau de parfum". And I have already received the feedback "pee note". So here the dose clearly makes the poison, just try a splash under the shirt (on the chest) or on the back of the head, and work your way slowly from there
I really recommend to test all of them, I could not lift one of them above the others. I think Allure Blanche will remain my number 1, but L'Humaniste and especially Lemon Line, which has just moved into my collection as a bottle, have a firm place in my heart and my collection, and are great alternatives that you can and want to use often! :)
On that note, stay sprightly!)
