The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Modern Princess Blooming by Lanvin was launched in 2020 and is the creation of perfumer Nathalie Lorson. This fragrance opens with a burst of freshness from watermelon, mandarin orange, and pink grapefruit, setting an energetic and vibrant tone. As it evolves, the composition shifts to a heart of damask rose, jasmine, and osmanthus, creating a delicate floral bouquet that is both soothing and captivating. The base notes of white musk and cedar provide a warm and comforting finish.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The top notes are bright but fade quickly, so it's essential to allow time for the floral heart to emerge. Best worn during cooler weather when the warmth of the base notes can be fully appreciated.
