The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Lanvin and crafted by perfumer Christophe Raynaud, Modern Princess is a floral fruity scent that embodies the essence of modern elegance. The composition begins with the vibrant freshness of red apple and red currant, creating an immediate sense of brightness and vivacity. These top notes lead into a heart of freesia and jasmine, which add a soft, delicate touch to the fragrance. The base notes of vanilla orchid, white musk, and white woods provide warmth and depth, rounding out the scent with a comforting embrace.
Apply Modern Princess in layers for a more pronounced effect. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so follow up with another light spritz after about half an hour to maintain that initial freshness throughout the day.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
