Masculinity meets elegance in this oriental woody evening scent by Lanvin. Avant Garde, launched in 2011, combines top notes of Italian bergamot, spicy Madagascar pepper, and floral juniper with a base of tobacco to create a fresh, spicy scent with smooth subtle undertones. Middle notes of lavender and beeswax forms the heart of the scent, blending easily with the top notes to prevent the spices from becoming harshly dominate. The base helps to carry the upper notes as they fade, maintaining a touch of the spicy opening for hours.
