Launched in 1934, Rumeur (original) by Lanvin is a chypre fruity fragrance that exemplifies the elegance and sophistication of French perfumery. Perfumer André Fraysse crafted this composition with an aldehydic twist, opening with bright bergamot and plum before diving into a heart of jasmine and floral notes. The base is warm and enveloping, blending leather, oakmoss, civet, and sandalwood to create a rich blend that feels both lasting and daring.

Application Tips
Apply Rumeur (original) to pulse points for maximum impact. The opening aldehydes are bright but fleeting, so layering it allows the rich base notes to emerge fully over time. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when its warm and enveloping base can truly shine.
