The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Modern Princess Eau Sensuelle by Lanvin is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Christophe Raynaud. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of pink grapefruit and tangerine that mingle with the sweetness of peach and pear. As it settles, the scent introduces a heart of peony, jasmine, and orange blossom, creating a delicate floral bouquet. This is then grounded by musky and woody base notes of sandalwood and vanilla, giving the fragrance warmth and depth.
Apply two sprays for the best longevity. The citrus top notes are bright and brief but transition smoothly into the heart and base as they develop on skin throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to the skin, making it perfect for intimate settings or a quiet office.
