Lanvin L’homme sport: Review

Lanvin L’homme sport: Review

Lanvin L’homme sport is an interesting fragrance. When I see the word “sport” in a fragrance name I immediately relate it to the words: fresh, acquatic, boring. The first time I saw this bottle it was lying in a bargain bin for around 20 dollar for a 3.4 oz. Curious as I was I bought one and took it home.

The initial spray was not that interesting. I immediately got a burst of citrus. It smelled clean, fresh and pretty dull, a typical “sport” fragrance. Don’t get me wrong it smelled nice, but nothing more.

After wearing it for a good 2-3 hours I smelled my wrists again and there I was pleasantly surprised. The fresh dullness disappeared and a strange smell came to the front. First I wasn’t really sure what it was but I knew I had smelled it before. After looking up some notes I saw that the strange vibe of the fragrance was due to the oak moss. Although it being strange, it gives a nice twist to the whole fragrance and makes the dullness disappear immediately.

Longevity and projection are pretty average. I get around 6-7 hours longevity. When the fragrance is nearing the end of its life it stays pretty close to the skin but still detectable for people to notice around you.

All by all this fragrance is pretty decent and will make a nice casual day time scent. For people who are into fragrances and have smelled a lot this will be nothing ground breaking but nobody can disagree that this is some quality juice.

Fragrances: Top 5 advertisements

Fragrances: Top 5 advertisements

When you watch television or you go on Youtube you will see a lot of commercials for fragrances. Some are really original and well made. As you will see I love the commercial where cities are at the centre of attention and I’ll explain this in the last paragraph. So here is my top five advertisements for fragrances.

5:  Parisienne by Yves Saint Laurent

This commercial is very sensual and sexy but not in a way that the model is half naked. Kate moss is starring in this video. She sits in the back of a car while having flashbacks of lying in her bed. Although that seems very boring and dull it’s the opposite. It’s quite mysterious and very well done.

4. Diesel Fuel For Life

In this clip the actors get a call with the message “are you still alive?”. After they hang up they do something naughty. The women hides for police cars and sneaks out of a house via the balcony. The guy has a wild party in his apartment and makes a huge mess. The music also creates a mysterious vibe.  This is one daring advert you must see.

3. Gucci by Gucci pour home

The actor that is starring in this commercial is James Franco. He plays in the new movie “Rise of the planet of the apes”. When you watch this you get a feeling of exclusivity and wealth. The song that is playing in the background is called “Slave To Love by Róisín Murphy”. The cool thing is that he quotes different parts of the lyrics. 

2. Bleu de Chanel by Chanel

This commercial is directed by Martin Scorsese. Scorsese is known for many movies such as “Goodfellas” and “Gangs of New York”. This collaboration is very impressive. The commercial is visually impressive and you can tell that they put a lot of effort in it. You can watch the whole “mini movie” online which you should definitely check out. 

1.Boss Bottled night By Boss

Although the commercial above is of higher quality, I like this one the most. I’m from Belgium and one of my dreams is to live in New York. Now when I watch this clip I’m just longing to switch character with the actor which is “Ryan Reynolds”. The apartment is amazing and the view is incredible which makes it nice to watch. The song that is used in this commercial is “Angel by Massive Attack”.
