Magnificent! … Elegant, masculine and not over the top. I recently bough it from a trusted site and, smell brand new. Having in consideration that this original formula contain civet, a very tricky ingredient for old perfumes. I played the russian roulette. There is the excitement when you buy a vintage fragrance. Go for it!

My first bottle was the oval, took me several years until I settle for the second square bottle. The smell is quite different. Now that I cannot find even the square bottle, I only used it for special occasion

Hello, I would like to reinforce if possible the remark of Beaufort on the missing “Lanvin For Men”…
I have been using that in the ’90s and it is a very elegant and classic fragrance that cannot miss in a directory such this.

Please can someone help to get the classic fragrance called ” Lanvin for Men” listed here. It’s missing from the fragrantica directory.
It is an amazing fragrance, (sadly discontinued).
I don’t know why it’s not included ???

I got a small 2oz bottle of this, the older version with “Monsieur Lanvin” engraved into the top of the cap (not written on the bottle side). First impression is that it is a muskier, more manly version of Bal a Versailles without the chocolate and amber. I think the degree and balance of jasmine and rose combined with the civet helps make them so similar.
As it develops, the jasmine and rose begin to dominate over the musk. Civet is potent but not overbearing and does fade off a bit. The overall picture is a fairly unisex fragrance. Not sure, but the coloration of the newer version looks lighter, possibly less civet and more citrus. Once fully into the dry down (after an hour or so), Monsieur Lanvin becomes more like a skin scent. Definitely doesn’t have the warm soft ambery feel of BaV. It stands as more masculine, IMHO.
The vintage version of Monsieur Lanvin is generally more expensive to obtain… so BaV is a fine alternative if you like a good amber and more animalic accompaniment.

If you are a fan of this discontinued fragrance and don’t want to pay big bucks on eBay for a vintage bottle, then try Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme – the most recent formulation in the black bottle. To my my nose they are practically identical after the dry down (it’s a bit bug spray-ish at first) and the Van Cleef option actually lasts longer.

I can remember wearing this fragrance in the late 80s. I was walking to work and a girl I worked with stopped her car and asked me if I wanted a lift. As soon as I closed the door she said “You smell beautiful!”.
I could never bring myself to throw that bottle away and it still lives in my bathroom cupboard to this day.
