Greetings,
I have purchased a bottle of Loccitaine Loccitaine man in August 2018 Oslo Airport. Initially I wanted to buy another parfum called Baux because I feel in love with a shower gel (which was a present from a friend). But when I tried this one I had to get back to the store to buy the blue label.
First of all its an amazing scent. I had lavender and pepper parfumes before, but always dreamt of a combination that could work well.
It is fresh, clean, but at the same time it warms up and gets a bit sweet and dry.
The pepper note works amazing with the lavender. It frames it an almost medditeranean vibe, yet it feels fantastic. I feel like I am walking in a field of flowers somewhere in the south.
Tonka gives it a beet of Sweetness and usually works very well with lavender. But it is not an a really a sweet taste, it a perfect blend of freshness, Sweetness but the peppery note adds it the manliness it needs.
The quality of ingredients is top notch. It may not be the powerhouse but it does not give a headache and I cannot help but spray it sometimes on my wrist and chest just to feel cozy and warm.
Longevity and Projection is medium, however longevity is leaning towards heavy on my skin and clothes.
In total I give it 9/10 the only drawback I see that it faints away a lot after a few hours and cannot compete with synthetic or semi synthetic parfumes in terms of projection/strength, however this is not why it is made, it is not meant to be overpowering most probably.
This parfume is made to provide person with warmth, confidence, relaxation and good mood. At this moment it is becoming Nr 2 in my collection and may become my signature for the overall positivity I get from it.
It’s amazing you must try it. It stands light years ahead from most synthetic powerhouses in terms of quality of ingredients. Give it a try, it’s special.

This is my everyday “signature scent”. It is the most versatile juice I own. The Smell is the most natural I have ever smelt on a fragrance. The Lavender on it is very comforting. I sometimes spray this on before bedtime to ease my mood. It’s a definite must-have for those who like soft natural scents that last long. The projection and sillage are average and not impressive though, which is a good thing for an everyday scent worn around closed spaces like the office.
9/10
good_luck_xd – :
Fresh clean peppery lavender with a hint of musk. Stays pretty linear throughout and actually projects well for a good 5-6 hours. No need to go mad with this one. Just a couple of sprays will suffice.
If you like them fresh and natural then this is well worth a try.
Classy and approachable. 30 years +.
wyg043InsuffBooni – :
This is just gorgeous. A woody/lavender perfume that lasts a long time and projects well too. It’s so full of character and well blended. In my top 6.

I love this fragrance for a very particular situation. You know that feeling when you’ve been in the sun all day, by the pool or the beach and you’re tired and hot so you come home and shower?
To me, that’s what this fragrance smells like. That feeling. The lavender and pepper are so relaxing and refreshing, and the tonka gives it just the right amount of sweetness. This is the feeling of being freshly showered after a long day of having fun in the sun.
phaduache – :
What an awesome relaxing lavender fragrance! Maybe the best lavander based scant I’ve ever smelled. Performances seems to be very decent too.

karken – :
i bought it for myself. yes, i am a woman, will report back tomorrow after an all day public wearing.
what wowed me was lavender and the black pepper.
i think this will be outstanding with rose essential oil or lavender essential oil on top. or a rose or lavender soap.
update: i did wear it and while i liked the first hour or two, after a while the musk in the dry down was not to my liking. i have a brand new bottle, minus two squirts, if anyone is interested.
Errosiurb – :
this is the fragrance that i was looking for!!!
i was blind buy this beautiful juice and had no regret at all.
i’m a woman and i really love this fragrance.
smell so warm and sexy.
last 6 hours on my skin.
its a great blind buy for me!!
i have 2 other perfume from different brand, but i must said that i have to store them for the time being.. because this frags will be my signature.
yravovk – :
This is a very elegant and authentic lavender scent. Its a warm and classy take on the lavender which i like a lot. It has clear similarities to Prada Luna Rossa, specially in the dry down phase. As a lavender fan, i have no other choice than to recommend this classy and harmonical juice.
bulgar – :
As others have mentioned, I too find this fragrance to be a very nice lavender aromatic scent that is perfectly spiced (pepper, cinnamon and more) without being too warm or too fresh; just a wonderfully polished masculine fragrance.
Although this fragrance is versatile and, I feel, can be used when dressed-up or dressed-down in any season, I find that it best for professional office daytime wear. It is perfect for the self-confident man who is in charge and doesn’t go out of his way to show it – people just know it.
Longevity is just right in that lasts 6-7 hours on my skin and projects moderately overall. I generally don’t love these kinds of scents, but I love wearing this one at the office and like it very much.
kirik_luki – :
This is the epitome of a linear, long lasting and exquisite masculine fragrance. L’Occitane strike the perfect balance here of lavender, woods and pepper to create something unique and classy. The projection too is pitched perfectly – neither invisible nor obtrusive, yet you’ll definitely know you’re wearing it. It’s eminently suitable for casual or business wear. Regarding the notes on here, it seems that someone has tried to shoehorn the ever-ubiquitous tonka bean into the description. Please don’t be put off if you dislike sweet fragrances – there is literally no hint of tonka whatsoever. It’s warm, woody and inviting, but definitely not sweet.
aleciab – :
Do not expect a complex frangrance. It is lavender with capital letters.
Having said that the quality of the lavender is impeccable! Best i have ever smelled so far. So if you like lavender and don’t need a complex perfume this one would make you happy, go for it.
sasha83gal – :
Masculine and agreeable lavender…
This is a fragrance which has been a hit for L’Occitane. It shows that they can compete with the designer brands. This is a lavender based fragrance with herbs and a hint of a spicy, woody backdrop. The cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper really supply the spicy background, along with the woods and tonka bean. It’s hard not to like this one. I think it competes with anything out there on the male market. It’s made with good quality ingredients and blended with care.
On a personal level, I find that it doesn’t stand out too much from other spicy lavender & woods fragrances for men that I’ve tried out there. The value for money is good. I would recommend it to people starting out in fragrances, and those men who want to try out a lavender based fragrance which is still masculine and pleasing to other people. I think this fragrance shows that L’Occitane en Provence has what it takes to compete and survive in the fragrance market, and I would recommend everyone to try out this house. Extremely good quality for money. Good stuff!
valerio3376 – :
Lavender, cinnamon and pepper. In a word. enchanting.
It’s a calm, cozy, and oddly serene scent, deeply comforting. Think a cabin on a wooded mountainside in winter, curled on the couch, wrapped up in a cashmere blanket after a long yoga session and a hot shower.
Good projection and longevity on my perfume-drinking skin. I am in love!
MsGUDD – :
I just gravitate toward this fragrance. It’s funny, I’m never really conscious of choosing it but it is the one I most favor. It simply has a terrific warming and calming effect, which could be attributable to the lavender note. The pepper component jumpstarts it and lasts throughout in a steady, leisurely way.
Cealryler – :
Good clean perfume and nice to wear. it is more of staying close to your skin and not for a loud arrival tone. I found it to be in the same genre as Le male, the classic from JPG house, of course toned down version but no one mentions this.
Good to wear during Afternoon.
vanya_verhniy – :
I love this scent. Very natural and organic feeling. Nice spicy pepper mixed with lavender start which transitions into a woody fragrance without losing the initial notes. Although it’s spicy, it’s not overly aggressive, like some pepper fragrances. If you like natural, earthy, peppery smells and also enjoy lavender, this scent is a must try.
I just wish it lasted longer. I only get about 5 hours before it’s gone. That’s the only reason I didn’t hit the love button.
ido – :
This is one of the best go to bed fragrance, gives me tight and nice sleep. must be the lavender!
snayper16041982 – :
I was sniffing some EDTs for men at L’Occitane store to buy something for my husband for our wedding anniversary, and this one stood out. I loooove spicy scents, and here the black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon notes are beautifully offset by the lavender, while the drydown is pleasantly musky. A true winner. I think I’m gonna be borrowing it from the hubby quite often!
Bianneque – :
Use this as a base for a lavender fragrance and it will be recognised by everyone. I paired with Lavender Palm by Tom Ford and got lots of compliments. Wonderful lavender fragrance.
DINOMISS – :
This smells phenomenal. It’s a very fresh lavender with a noticable black pepper note. Very clean, very natural. I think it’s best for summer, it’s so refreshing, there are no words for it. Don’t imagine this as a dated lavender smell. Actually, this will be most natural lavender you have ever smelled.
In a world of aquatic-lemony crap fragrances, this is an absolute winner. It lasts quite a while, about 6-7 hours. Projection is moderate, just enough. Sprayer is pretty bad though, mine is broken already.
Absolutely recommended, very high quality perfume.
MiaS – :
The most natural perfume I ever use! So fresh, so natural!
Ploog – :
Tested this yesterday. Aromatic and somewhat spicy opening, with lavender and pepper especially evident. As it dried down I could have sworn there was neroli and a touch of oakmoss, giving it a bit of a classic masculine fragrance kind of vibe. Especially as it dries down, to my nose it smells like what a very expensive soap might smell like. Overall, a fresh, aromatic and soapy clean smell with a classic masculine vibe. I could see this working especially well as a post-shower, pre-bedtime kind of fragrance — calming lavender plus that soapy clean feeling to carry you into sleep and beyond.
Projection was hard to gauge. I occasionally got whiffs from my arms, while my wife said she had no problem smelling it while standing next to me, but it would also disappear from time to time. I suspect it is one of those that others smell more readily than the wearer. Overall longevity seemed quite good, although the prominent lavender only lasted at most 2 hours, becoming more subtly blended after that.
sva69 – :
One of my very favourite fragrances ever! Beautiful lavender, peppery notes and woods working together in pure harmony. Exquisite smell.
Дяша – :
One of the better fragrances out there for men. I get a big blast of lavender, some pepper in the background and something like cedar in the middle. One thing I like about it is that it smells natural and interesting. I can’t say that it smells like a generic department store fragrance, which is great. To me, it projects a laid back, artistic sort of vibe – the lavender is definitely calming! I’m not a huge fan of lavender so I find it a little bit too much for me. But I keep it around for when if like something that matches a plaid flannel shirt.
shark1995 – :
Great Smell! But it sadly seems to be reformulated!! I just received the bottle (17-03-2016) and it really really lacks in terms of performance and longevity. I would say i get like 30min. of staying power? So be aware of this when you blind buy it!!!
Frendili – :
Oh Boy do I love this! I love the lavender pepper mix and as someone stated it smells a little like Burberry Touch which I also love. Sillage and longevity is very good on me.
igorekA26 – :
Brilliant! Easily one of my favorite fragrances ever. Lavender and Pepper is an inspired combination, Its an uplifting masculine fragrance when worn on your clothing, the pepper playing an equal role for about four hours until it starts to dry down.
When used as a skin scent, the pepper drys down somewhat more quickly leaving a softer lavender defined by some spicy woody accords.
Everyone should have a bottle of this in their collection! Its really beautiful!
While characteristics like longevity and silage may be quantifiable, their values do not necessarily attest to the quality of a product. Some colognes are better left close to the skin, some so strong that discretion is the better part of valor. Had I not given L’Occitan a second chance as a clothing scent, I would have never purchased it, and lost out on one of the best colognes in my collection. Manufacturers take note: A little guidance might be in order.
funjis5 – :
This seems rather simple but is actually very well constructed. The Hesperidic top notes (a nice neroli-bergamot overlapping with the initial burst of lavender, both very natural-smelling) offer a fresh eau-de-cologne opening that quickly transitions as an unlisted but very prominent and durable anise note that adds richness and a distinct Barbasol shaving cream reference to the lavender-rich heart.
I’d never noticed the anise until after sampling Azzaro, but now I get the barbershop connection… This is supported by flinty, prickly pepper, a fuzzy-nutty-smoky vanillic nutmeg/tonka/cedar accord and a ‘burnt woods’ accord that smells very much like a low level vetiver note. An oleos musk like that used in the brand’s Eau des Baux and Vetyver supplies a persistent clean feel to the drydown. Discrete and fairly linear, but sufficiently complex: overall transitions are bright, fresh, warm, rich, comforting and neat (a refreshing take on the latter: more men’s grooming products than laundry.) Conservative but unique and attractive. A well-balanced, grounded and soothing masculine scent that very sturdily delivers on my cliche fougere expectations – old school but not old man, trustworthy, versatile, mossy, friendly and steady.
deusss – :
First spray, instantly reminded me of another scent – then I remembered : this is a total clone of Prada Luna Rossa (and this one seemingly came out seven years earlier?), fortunately without the hideous pepper blast that is included in the Extreme version of LR. Also, this is cheaper in retail than the Prada, so in my option the only reason why someone should even consider buying the Prada LR is that – to me – the Prada has a tiny bit more of projection. There’s still pepper, but not as much as in the Luna Rossa Extreme, which is one I rather dislike.
Opening with bergamot and pepper and slowly the lavender with some spices (I’m thinking cinnamon and some nutmeg) in the background takes over, making this a more pleasant barbershop scent. During the drydown I also get cedar hints peeping in every now and then with a bit of sweetness. Smells quite natural, this one.
Quite linear after the lavender comes through, but if you’re looking for an updated kinda fougere this might be your thing.
larry – :
I LOVE THIS. All shout caps on purpose, because I am -not- easy to please.
There have been very few colognes that have literally made me want to go grab my husband and drag him off. This is one of them, and by far the most outstanding.
It’s classic, unique and masculine, although, as many have noted, I can vouch from personal experience that it smells great if you get some on you second hand. 😉
The long note is a woodsy fragrance, but I tend to think more of driftwood and the ocean type of wood, not a resinous pine. The lavender note is lovely, clean but not girly, and the black pepper notes are perfect.
It’s also extremely distinctive. Sexy without being brazen, classy without being stuffy, like sex in the back of an expensive classic car. Get it, wear it, love it. It’s amazing.
lilyjamesle – :
I gotta say, the smell of it when you spray it on is very black peppery but once it dries down, the black pepper for me dies down and what shines is the wood and lavender.
I’m in love with this scent. Wish the sillage was a bit better though.
coffevarka – :
This fragrance is a simple peppery lavender with woody notes. The lavender used is of a high quality and smells good but the scent overall I found boring.
The longevity and projection are average, I get about five hours.
To sum up a simple good quality fragrance that could do with more notes just to make it more interesting.
b3622188 – :
I never imagined lavender smelling this smooth and velvety. The tonka and cinnamon help to smoothen it and add warmth, yet it’s a great all-season choice. It’s got a calm, sensual aspect which reminds me of YSL L’Homme. Unfortunately on me it’s an almost instant skin scent. With 8 hours longevity is good though.
user71 – :
Despite I am woman, I love this scent wearing on me. Woody, peppery, a bit sweet, a kind of ‘calm, little bit mystical, a little bit autumn’ feeling.
Frimen – :
I tested it today, it was love at first smell, I just applied a small spray on my wrist and I can confirm that is a very long lasting fragance, the aroma feels so natural and the juice composition is a little oily. Very pleasant and even I get two complimets in the first 10 minutes. The way a men should smell.
Беллочка – :
This is a great scent for those like me who enjoy a good lavender scent. It stays close to the skin but lasts all day. Smells especially good on clothes.
mikler – :
I tested it in a L’Occitane boutique one day on paper, then came back for a skin test. It’s one of the most natural smell I’ve ever tried, at inital spray I’d say it’s like rubbing a bundle of lavender and pepper on your skin. After a few minutes some “clean” woods make their appearance giving some background to the scent. Cinnamon and nutmeg are listed but I think they’re part of a whole spicy ground, because I almost get mostly just pepper.
At the drydown some sweetness appears but in all I could assure it’s a linear scent. For me it’s too peppery and I wish the cinnamon and the woods would take a more promiment play, giving some depth to the aroma.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a bright lavender perfume, specially for what it costs compared to what it gives (good projection and excellent longevity).
————————————————
Lo he testeado en una tienda de L’Occitane primero un día sobre el papel, luego regresé para una prueba en la piel. Es uno de los aromas más naturales que he probado, en primera instancia diría que es como frotar un manojo de lavanda y pimienta en las piel. Después de algunos minutos algunas maderas “limpias” hacen su aparición dando cierta estructura a la fragancia. La canela y la nuez moscada están listadas en los acordes, pero creo que son parte de un grupo picante del corazón, porque más que nada obtengo pimienta.
En la base cierto dulzor aparece sin embargo podría asegurar que es un perfume lineal. Para mí es demasiado “pimientoso” y me gustaría que la canela y las maderas tomaran un papel más prominente, dando cierta profundidad al aroma.
Muy recomendable si lo que buscas es un perfume de lavanda vivo y claro, especialmente por lo que cuesta en comparación con lo que otorga (buena proyección y excelente longevidad).
GrearnattNany – :
L’Occitane fragrances have quickly risen to the top of my favorites list. Performance is excellent and ingredients pure. Eau de L’Occitan has taken the place D & G Pour Homme used to fill as all season, all purpose go to.
DEMA58 – :
It smells somewhat like Burberry Touch For Men in the beginning and Prada Infusion D’Homme.
This cologne is awesome and very underrated. Love it!
ionash – :
I tried this at the l’occitane store. The opening smelled fresh and clean. The dry down about an hour into it, it smelled so much like prada infusion d’homme. The projection is not as big as prada, though, but the longevity is.
Patriarch – :
It is probably the most natural scent i have.As usual i prefer it in the after shave balm to the bottle.Dry skin,oh well.
The fragrance itself is simple with a predominant lavender.I am sure thre are other notes but it isblended so smoothly.
This scent is appropriate to any occasion just apply accordingly.
Some may call it old school but never old man.
They were right to make this the signature scent for the brand.
I can close my eyes and picture myself in a lavender field when i need to decompress.
Easily the best reasonably priced scent i have.
FitteeTuh – :
To think this is now 10 years old. I raved about it when it launched, and I still love it now. Easy to wear, coherent, not too busy; manages to stay fresh whilst projecting pleasant woods, spices and lavender.
Hard to find criticism, really. Supposed to be a male scent; but I know someone who “borrows” this from me insisting she wears it better than I do. History may in time regard this as amongst the greatest lavender-based scents ever.
Владимир1969 – :
I was over for dinner at a friend’s house and spotted this in the bathroom. I had a quick whiff from the bottle and was delighted with the scent: I think it was the lavender mixed with the tonka bean to create something warm yet fresh. The effect reminded me of iris, but I wonder if I was really reminded of my Yardley Iris perfume, which is very lavender-like.
So I sneakily sprayed some on my arm and was a little embarrassed by how woody and manly it smelled, considering I am a woman. I was also worried my friend would realise I’d been trying on his perfume! But it dried down to something much more like the delicious scent I got from the bottle, which I liked.
I think I’d really like to smell this on a man, but it’s not something I’d wear myself. For me it’s in that family of spicy, slightly gourmand florals for men, along with Dior Homme.
semenov_shahty – :
Very nice,refreshing and versatile indeed,but is it me or is this smell similar to Alfred Dunhill Dunhill for men? Smelling this one on paper strip i found that shares too many similarities with ADD. Both are great,gorgeous and upliting scents!! I will sample it on my skin for sure.
Nadin – :
10 minutes into the game and I get luscious, fatty shaving cream, lavander, vetiver, pepper, but nothing particularly sharp.
I love it, and I’ve only just realised now that I’ve smelled it a few times on passers-by in public and wondered “what that awesome shaving cream cologne is?”
However, the l’Occitane house base for their men’s colognes is its downfall, as with Eau des Baux and the now sadly discontinued Vetiver. It smells unfinished and unrounded, and neither projects very well nor lasts very long.
That said its not piss-weak and you do catch whiffs throughout the day, so the value for money is certainly better than something vapid like Eau Sauvage.
kotuij – :
Gorgeous woody/floral juice which is smooth and mellow. High quality lavender based fragrance with great longevity. My new number 1.
Horcrussy – :
I’m quite a fan of L’Occitane perfumes because many of them work on me (no matter whether they’re for female, male or unisex) and they’re usually quite affordable. Eau de L’Occitan is the second of their male perfumes that I tested and I have to say I prefer this compared to the other one I tested earlier, Eau des Baux.
L’Occitan is clean lavender with a touch of woody notes. I personally love it; it’s very clean and fresh, with not much potential to turn cloying. I have particular avoidance against cloying perfumes and Eau des Baux sadly tends to turn very cloying in hot weather, but L’Occitan thankfully doesn’t! It mellows down quite considerably when it dries down and it’s generally quite soft, but I think it’s perfect that way. Such a clean smell doesn’t need to be a scent bomb–it’ll ruin the cleanness.
Overall, I think L’Occitan is gorgeous and it’s perfect if you can’t handle the spiciness of Eau des Baux. It’s kind of a safe scent, but gorgeous nonetheless. The lavender is potent but not overpowering, with the others backing it up nicely. Being a lavender lover, I’m kinda even tempted to buy it for myself. Great concoction from L’Occitane. It’ll be even better if they create another lavender, this time for the girls, so I won’t have to lie to the salesperson that I’m considering to buy L’Occitan for my father/boyfriend/brother/cousin/best friend.
Rating: 8/10
evelinka – :
I agree with Darksome, this is a real beauty next to Eau de Baux. The L’Occitane colognes for men all seem to draw from centuries-old classic blends, tried and true. This has peppery-spice mid-notes and a woody base similar to Baux, but with a gorgeously refreshing lavender topper. The top-quality lavender note asserts itself very strongly, but doesn’t overtake the scent. My man started wearing this recently; he has an old-world chivalrous sensibility and a refined masculine nature, so this fougere suits him perfectly.
zezug – :
A good,pleasant lavender dominated fragrance. This doesn’t play any tricks on the wearer, remaining fairly linear throughout. High quality ingredients, and blending.
Overall, this is likeable, unobtrusive and good value for money. Longevity superb. Well worth a look.
da93 – :
I was visitng a rather formidable aunt who likes the finer things in life and was sitting next to her when I turned and said “you smell very nice, what have you got on?” and she replied “L’Occitan Pour Homme”. I told her that was what I wore! She told me that she didn’t like the overly floral nature of a lot of women’s perfumes and really liked this one – as do I. I have not worn it recently, but it is definitely a favourite. Lavender is certainly dominant, but is softened a little by the spices, so you never feel as though you’ve just marinated in it. It’s fresh and crisp and intriguing. I love wearing it, especially at night.
последнийденьмоейжиз – :
Easily the most unappealing mens fragrance L’Occitane have produced so far.
I found the peculiar black pepper and lavender combination just too dry and harsh, as if someone had blown a cloud of pepper granuels and lavender buds in my face. Mixed with the vague sweetness of the nutmeg and cinammon it ended up reminding me of a musty gym mat and slightly sweaty feet.
Even if your brain doesn’t make that connection, it’s still a rather dull, lifeless scent with zero sexual appeal.
magnum199111 – :
The following review is really for my notes only, its very brief and leaves out a ton of details. Im just typing something that I remember each by. Im sure I will disrespect someones favorite fragrance too.
I really liked this one! Nice lavender and woods mix. I forgot to retest this one unfortunately.
ValyokSSAU – :
When I got it, thought that it would have the same fragrance as the other products (shaving gel, shower gel and after shaving balm), but it turns out that it is not even close to them!
The fragrance is unique, but you might get easily sick of it during the day, if you don’t wear like a drop or two.
Stays on for hours.
Unexpensive, but not impressive!
TYRISTVODA – :
Okay well this one is a strange combination of pungent Lavender, deeply spiced with pepper and nutmeg. A great fragrance and although this should be right up my street I just fail to see how I could pull off wearing it.
The lavender is as accurate a lavender smell as you can get, totally natural and extremely fresh like pure lavender oil. Comparisons to Luna Rossa from Prada are obvious due to the dominance of this note along with the spicing. In my opinion though this is more traditional, medicinal and reminiscent of aromatherapy oils than the more contemporary Prada.
It’s not just that though, the whole look of the bottle and branding give the impression of a old apothecary style product. As it dries down it mellows slightly but you do get a strength from this juice that is unrelenting then disappears.
I get this fragrance I really do, unfortunately as I mentioned I just couldn’t wear it myself.
Very good though.
25962848 – :
this is a nice smelling fragrance, got some of this to try and was pleasantly surprised, a very quiet but rather nice smelling fragrance. I like eau des baux a lot so this was just something I wanted to try,i think I may spring for some, I could see this working well in an office environment. nice lavender type of fragrance along the lines of aqua de lavanda by puig I think if you like caron pour home you will probably enjoy . this might be a might a bit more masculine to me. a good scent. I would not say I love it but I do think it could grow on me and I would wear this easily.
a really nice soft lavender fragrance that is a very warming and have been told inviting by women in the office..thumbs up. liking more and more, as a great scent to wear to the office.
not bad at all. wearable and smells good . sometimes on a Saturday after a stressful week this fragrance is therapy in a bottle. very soothing scent.
I would recommend sampling..
if you are looking for something lighter that is, I found it smellatherapy just something to wear when you want to smell clean, not a alpha male smell so don’t expect that type. maybe for someone who is not really a cologne type person but wants to smell good to others not ground breaking by any means but a wearable scent.
Heinuedig – :
I tried this on a paper strip, and it smelled EXACTLY like Prada Luna Rossa! Then later on I tried it on my skin, and I got confused because the scent was a lot warmer than it was on the paper strip. It ressembled Eau des Baux (also by L’Occitane En Provence) more now. And then once it dried down, it basically became a mix of both to me. So take Eau des Baux, remove the vanilla and incense to replace it with lavender, and that’s pretty much what it smells like to me. The tonka bean and woodsy notes are still discernable.
lion – :
I’m not a big fan of lavender, but this stuff is okay. Not at all blow-you-away good, but wearable. As others have noted, it has an old school feel to it (Guerlain Lite?) and is presentable.
Now that I think about it, it beats many of the larger, more better known house’s current offerings for men. (I’m looking at you, Bvlgari, Calvin Klein and YSL.)
After a tour of L’Occitane’s scents I came away concluding that the best of the lot was Eau des Baux, which is unique. But this is good.
Dашка – :
This frag is pleasant, clean, natural, not harsh, it fuses with the skin with soft touch. I don’t feel so much on my skin so hasn’t a big projection, but the subtle warm lavender leads you on all day. Rather mannish than boy scent,
