Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
This fragrance from Lanvin captures the essence of avant-garde elegance, rooted in the brand’s French heritage and its legacy of innovation. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes that give way to a heart of floral accords, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and softness. The base notes of woody and musky tones anchor the fragrance, providing depth and warmth.
Apply this fragrance sparingly — the citrus top notes are bright but fade quickly. The woody base carries the scent for hours, so one or two sprays will suffice to keep it close to your skin without overpowering.
