Carven will launch Carven Le Parfum, a new fragrance for women, and will relaunch the brand's classic 1946 perfume Ma Griffe.
Le Parfum was developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian; notes for the floral scent include hyacinth, sweet pea, ylang ylang, jasmine, osmanthus, apricot and sandalwood.
In the UK, Carven Le Parfum will be introduced at Harrods in early May. I will update with sizes and concentration when I can.

Update: Carven Le Parfum is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum; additional notes include patchouli.
Another update: see a review of Carven Le Parfum.
Love Carven… and Kurkdjian sounds more than promising. Crossing my fingers.
Me too!
This sounds rather nice, if not particularly groundbreaking. And I tend to do well with FK’s compositions.
All the samples of Ma Griffe I’ve tried have been either too brash for me or decayed with age – here’s hoping that the rerelease will be respectful and wearable.
I want to know if FK did Ma Griffe too? I am keeping my fingers crossed for respectful & wearable too.
I just have a feeling that whether these are good or not will be revealed with the price point. I don’t want these done on the cheap. (Not that I want to pay too much either.)
And I don’t know the price, sorry.
After sniffing Balmain’s weak and different relaunch of Ivoire (on its own merits it was like a soapier weaker #19 Poudre, compared to original Ivoire, no relation imo) unfortunately I don’t hold my breath. Cute bottle though.
Ivoire — totally agree. Shame.
Fingers crossed Ma Griffe will still be recognizable!
How could I miss this? 😀 I saw it on Colette’s site..I have to oder a 30 ML…this looks like such a nice little Spring gem…I haven’t smelled it yet, but this must be a blind by 😉
