About Lanvin Crescendo
Crescendo comes from Lanvin.
Crescendo for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety is a lighter match.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Lattafa Velvet Oud spread further.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. It lasts about as long as Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Tom Ford Soleil De Feu. Base notes like amber and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Which weather suits Crescendo
