    Tumulte pour Homme by Christian Lacroix

    Well done cedar fragrance. . Tumulte is based on Cedar. This fragrance is roughly 93% cedar and 7% other stuff. The other stuff being a dash of juniper/cade oil adding a very slight tarry character to the core cedar accord (composed of four difference types of cedar, including the camphoracious Texas cedar), and some incense that emerges later in the dry down. At all times cedar is front and center.

    There are no citrus ,ozonic, floral, musk, vanilla, precious wood notes here. Just cedar.

    This fragrance can create some olfactory habituation. You will get flashes of it over several hours as your nose saturates/desaturates from all the cedar. Tumulte lasts 6-8 hours on me.

    Oxygene Homme by Lanvin

    A well done aquatic/ozonic. The previous BN reviews are all over the place on this one, but I go with "randumbsmellyguy"'s review below.

    For me, after the top notes come off, you are left with a long lasting (8hr plus) and engaging aquatic accord that smells like fresh pure spring water. (*)

    Definatly a few cuts above the typical ozonics. This is what I reach for when I want to smell clean.

    (*) Oxygene fits in with the other modern Lanvin fragrances as being very well blended without the obvious presence of various ingredients. This drives some people crazy against Lanvin's Vetyver as it doesn't have obvious vetiver.

    If the main line of your fragrance collection is more woody/aromatic and you need a fresh ozonic; Lanvin's Oxygene Homme is a good choice.
