HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Rumeur by Lanvin was launched in 2006 and crafted by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of white florals and musky base notes that captures the essence of Parisian elegance. The top note of magnolia introduces a bright, sparkling freshness that transitions into a heart of lily-of-the-valley, rose, jasmine, orange blossom, and plum. These white petals create a delicate and intricate bouquet, while the base of patchouli and musk adds depth and warmth, grounding the composition in a classic yet modern way.
Apply Rumeur to pulse points for a delicate warmth that develops over time. The top note of magnolia is bright but fleeting, so layer it with the base notes to ensure a lasting presence throughout the day.
