Probably one of the best but simple fragrance posters I have ever seen

Alber Elbaz, the creative director at Lanvin, wanted the fragrance to be something unique, complementing the Lanvin fashion line. Like the jewel necklace wrapped around the neck of the bottle, the fragrance is seen as the perfect accessory. It embodies self love, empowerment, narcissism and a self-confident sensuality. This falls right in line with Elbaz’s general design philosophy: The object itself is an object of desire with its box in legendary Lanvin Blue and decorated, like a gift, with an embossed gold tie. The bottle, which has been designed like a collector’s item and placed in a timeless future, is just as impressive. The design relies on numerous signature codes which are typically couture: the black cap is engraved with the design that Jeanne Lanvin loved, the rectangular format with rounded edges expresses the power of a bottle destined to always be in fashion, the heavy glass inspires confidence, self-assurance and long-lasting appeal. It also includes the tender touch of a gold chain decorated with a blue-toned gemstone, a link between fashion and emotion.


Gorgeous

“I am not interested in creating dresses that make men fall in love with the lady wearing them. I prefer to empower women with their own love.” – Alber Elbaz

“For Lanvin Me, I wanted to design a fragrance that unveils a bright and an addictive sensuality with the chic signature. I also wanted to add a dash of the blue of Lanvin with sparkling blueberry.” – Domitille Bertier

Elegance, style and Parisian chic are personified here by a fruity and sweet floral gourmand. kind of cross between Diesel Loverdose and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. I pick up mandarin and licorice and the faintest drop of blueberry. It then turns into something soft and woody with just a hint of powder. It’s really quite subtle. The gorgeous chain around the bottle neck was the first thing that caught my eye.

I loved watching this video because I love to know about new perfumes on the market and perfumes I have not tried before. You gave me loads of info on the notes and staying power of this perfume. It really wants me to get hold of it to try it! The only info missing was the price, which is quite important to me! ;-) Thanx for sharing!
