Lanvin will launch Jeanne Lanvin, a new fruity gourmand fragrance for women, this coming July in France. It will not come to the US until September, at which time it will be exclusive to Saks.
Jeanne Lanvin was developed by perfumer Anne Flipo, who noted that she was “aiming for something simple yet sophisticated—impertinent and young—mirroring the modern woman Jeanne Lanvin was”. The Jeanne Lanvin perfume features notes of blackberry, pear, citron, raspberry, white freesia, peony, musk, sandalwood and amber…
