In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Vanguard by Alfred Lane is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Vanguard was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Rafael Hernandez.

Reviews →

Vitamin C opens with a bright citrus burst, then settles into a greener, lightly spiced heart before a smooth woody dry-down. It reads clean, fresh, and easy to wear, with a crisp citrus-aromatic style that suits warm weather especially well and can still work year round if you like sharper, greener freshness.

How we score: ratings blend public fragrance ratings with Fragranxe member votes; longevity, sillage, value and sentiment are community vote scores, and season bars are relative to each fragrance's strongest season. Categories with too little data are shown but not scored. The scent match weighs accord overlap (60%) and shared notes (40%). More in the FAQ.
