Lanvin Marry Me ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 23 June 2010 118 Comments

Lanvin Marry Me fragrance

Lanvin will launch Marry Me, a new fragrance for women, in August. The scent is meant to reflect a moment of intense happiness — whether or not that moment is taken seriously.

Marry Me is a fruity floral developed by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu; the notes include peach, bitter orange, freesia, magnolia, jasmine, rose, white cedar, amber, musk.

Lanvin Marry Me will be available in 30, 50 and 75 Eau de Parfum. (via tendance-parfums, with thanks to Jacob for the link! additional information via osmoz)

    If anyone tried to propose to me with a fruity floral, he’d get laughed out of town.

      True that! and if he’s got a bottle of perfume in one hand , he’d darned well better have a ring in the other!

        Oh…..I should mention that if a guy proposes with a bottle of , say, Joy parfum or Amouage Lyric in one hand and a ring in the other, it would behoove you to give him serious consideration…. because that’s a man with potential!

            My husband would ask me what I wanted for my birthday and I kept texting him Lyric Woman by AMOUAGE, he ws like huh? I got joy and two Amouage’s and some good diamonds after that

          Maybe I’m just feeling a little cynical because my one-and-only, Orlando Bloom, just got engaged to a Victoria’s Secret tart, but I don’t think men like that exist anymore :( But if I find one, I assure you, HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

            ahhhh, Orlando as Will Turner ( one for me please, garcon) but just watch him as Paris in Troy a few times and the love affair will be over, in fact you may want to SLAP him. Now , Eric Bana…..rarrrrr!

          • Owen says:
            23 June 2010 at 11:38 am

            oh yea, I read about Orlando in the paper either today or yesterday.

            but this perfume seems like you’d only wear it if you knew someone was going to propose to you, or on your wedding day, or the coming up to your wedding (if you said yes) because of the name.

            so the way I see it, it wouldn’t bring repeat custom (which it probably will anyway)

            Ha, Daisy is right, that is EXACTLY what happened for me. Truth be told, while he is very nice looking, he’s not a very convincing actor.

          • Daisy says:
            23 June 2010 at 1:01 pm

            Yup, 100% agreement here Boo……J said one time that she’d date Orlando if he’d promise not to speak……but she’d toss him over for Eric Bana in .25 of a second….of course she’d have to fight me for him!

        • Ari says:
          23 June 2010 at 11:50 am

          Boo and Daisy, you’re both right- Orlando’s not gonna be winning any Academy Awards anytime soon. But he’s sooo pretty….

            Daisy, I own the collector’s edition of “Troy” only because of Eric Bana. lol If you’ve never read The Iliad, you may actually enjoy the movie, but I’ve read it several times and it just frustrated me. However, kudos to Eric, Brad Pitt and the stunt choreographers for that one-on-one fight. That was amazing.
            I was never really impressed with Orlando Bloom as an actor until I saw the Director’s Cut of “Kingdom of Heaven”. He really impressed me in that.

            This is either a brilliant marketing move… or the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. I predict that there are scads of romantically-minded people who will call it “the cutest thing EVer!” Although as pyramus points out, repeat buys could get a little weird.

            And to be honest, the notes sound pleasant to me – although of course it’s all about the treatment, so it’s hard to know what it’ll be like. And I don’t have a Saks either; it’s no trouble to simply ignore.

          • mals86 says:

            Well, OOOPS! I mean to post that down below…

            Here was where I was going to ask the waiter for David Wenham. Cream linen suit and a little bit of stubble please – but if that’s not available, I’ll take him with long hair and Gondorian armor. No ice.

            Oh, and if you’re fresh out of that, I’ll take Matthew MacFadyen anyway you want to serve him.

            Sorry mals, Matthew MacFadyen is MY movie boyfriend. You can have Colin Firth in his Pride and Prejudice prime (what is it about P&P that brings out the best in actors?).

            I just can’t imagine who thought “Marry me” was a great name.

            True enough, I liked Kingdom of Heaven. But there again.. he’s best suited for these huge action films where it’s more the action and the ensemble rather than an individual actor carrying the day.

        Can I have a side of Jason Issacs as Lucius Malfoy, perhaps with a bottle of Mouchoir de Monsieur and some caustic wit?
        And yes, Marry Me is a pretty silly name. And not even edgy silly, like EOL. Insipid silly.

    Oh good lord! who picked that idiot name?
    I’ve been in the mood for fruity stuff the last few days —-although yesterday I was just in the mood for ELECTRICITY, sorry, our power was out for some unknown reason until almost midnight …it’s embarrassing how much I missed and longed for my computer! —back to perfume (now that I’m basking in electric) it sounds pretty yummy (peaches!) except for white cedar (cedar often = B.O. to me) but at least there’s no apple or pink pepper…….I dislike apple, and while pink pepper is fine, it’s become so ubiquitous that it contributes to everything smelling sorta like everything else. Of course, I’m sure the above list is not all-inclusive so they could just not be mentioning plenty of notes.

        a note to perfume name-pickers: if you have to count on foreign languages or heavily accented speech to make the name sound less idiotic….select a different name. sheeesh!
        Which begs the question we’ve posed here so many times—why, why, WHY don’t they just poll US here at NST?

        Actually, I think the French would be “Mariez Moi” which doesn’t sound much different from the English.

          In French it would be ‘Épousez-moi’. The verb ‘marier’ means ‘to marry’, but it only applies to the person who performs the ceremony.
          JFYI ‘to get married’ = ‘se marier’

          Nope, no Saks! They’ve got Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Bloomies, Nordstrom, JC Penny. There is a Saks somewhere outside of Philly, but it’s a ways away (I think nearly an hour) and there is nothing near it that I need, so I cannot be bothered. Every so often I go to the Saks in Chevy Chase, MD and then I remember why I hate Saks — they’re such snots over there! The NY store is wonderful though.

            A while back, one of my decorating magazines featured the Hamptons home of the woman who comes up with [often] witty names for the Origins line. Definitely a cool job, but what totally amazed me is that *that* job affords her a vacation home in the Hamptons. As well as her place in Manhattan. And one can only imagine some other glorious perks.

      Yeah, just what I was thinking. Maybe it should be prefaced with the designer name “Lanvin Marry Me” – then at least it sounds like you’re proposing to someone named Lanvin. Although it will still make you sound nutty.

    I don’t actually understand the name, at all. Is a woman going to buy herself a scent called “Marry Me”? Because I’m pretty sure most women buy scents for themselves, and the name doesn’t convey *any* of the things that scent names usually do–romance, youth, tigerish passion, mystery, wealth and luxury, comfort, or stylishness.

    Is a man going to buy it for a woman? Only if he intends to propose, and then it’s sort of weird if she uses it up and he has to buy her more. (Although that does suggest a flanker–“Marry Me Again”.)

    The only sense I can make of it is if they’re going to market it as a bridal scent, and even then the name doesn’t work. I think someone really dropped the ball on this one, but what the hell do I know? Maybe legions of wedding-mad women will think it’s perfect.

      Thank you Pyramus for articulating my thoughts on this matter! :-)

      It makes it difficult to give as a gift.
      I mean I have given perfume gifts to my sister, my mother my sisters in law, my mother in law, and some close female friends..

      But giving “Marry Me” to any of those as a gift could mean a disaster of Oedipical, freudian and legal impact! ;-)

        they’ve pretty much guaranteed that 99% of men wouldn’t dream of purchasing a bottle for anyone…and then there’s women who will roll their eyes at the name and walk the other way…..talk about chopping down your customer base right from the start! They’ll be left with die-hard Lanvin fans and teenagers….and some intrepid perfumistas…

          Yes, and you can love many people, but you can only be married (legally, at least) to one at a time!

    We already have the polling idea about if the bottle design affects your desire to buy a perfume, so how about polling about fragrance names? What’s the worst perfume name ever? What’s the best name? Do you have any perfumes that you love with a name that you hate? Do you have any perfumes you bought because you loved the name, but were disappointed in the scent?

    (I can say that because my name is Nina, someone, of course, bought me a bottle of Nina by Nina Ricci and I disliked it so much I got rid of it.)

      I know I feel silly when I have to tell people I am wearing “Bronze Goddess”. The name didn’t SEEM silly until the moment someone asked. Now its even more humorous since I have sunburn : D

      I tried to love it bc my daughter’s name is Nina (plus face it, the bottle is cute)… but I put some on and she wrinkled up her nose, so I tossed it aside.

      There are a lot of perfumes with terrible names, and I often recoil from trying something because I imagine what will happen if someone asks me what perfume I am wearing. I can’t imagine having to answer “Let Me Play the Lion” or “The Unicorn Spell”, and there are others even worse.

      Best perfume name ever: possibly Joy. Simple, direct, easy to say, happy, and everyone understands it.

    They really blew it with this one, they should have launched first “Lavin – Buy Me a Drink?”,
    then “Lavin – Second Date”,
    followed by “Lavin – Maybe We Need a Break”
    and finally “Marry Me”.

    How much does perfume consulting pay, and where do I apply, Lavin?

      Hah! I love that. I would totally buy a perfume called “Maybe We Need a Break.” But then again, I’d love to see a “I Think We Should See Other People” or a “It’s Not You It’s Me”, so maybe I’m just not the romantic type!

        Or the ever-popular flanker, “It’s Not You, It’s Me”.

          Oh, count me in for this one!
          …other flanker in my collection: I am leaving you. Only as expensive extrait, of course.

        Lanvin I’m Not Ready for a Committment? Or perhaps they could have launched Marry Me as a men’s fragrance, along with a women’s version: Lanvin This is So Sudden.

    1. Eric Bana is better than Orlando Bloom (Just watch his racing documentary).
    2. I laughed at this perfume’s name. I love the ideas for the flankers! Hahaha.

    I’m surprised no one mentioned Arrested Development, here!
    Remember how Maeby always said ‘Marry Me!” when someone asks her something she doesn’t want to answer.

      Yes! That was my first thought! I think the creator of Arrested Develoment should sue. Or come out with a line of perfume called Love Indubitably!

        I actually thought about buying the fragrance just because of the name (for those who aren’t Arrested Development fans, that phrase is a running joke in the series). But I can’t imagine they’re trying to appeal only to AD fans–we’re a very, very small market–talk about niche!

        Oh, and off-topic, but those of you who have never seen Arrested Development, go out and rent it stat!

    Congrats to Orlando and Miranda! They are simply lovely! Marry Me sounds okay but I can’t imagine someone asking me what I was wearing and I say “Marry Me!” I suppose it has a deeper meaning that Lanvin may elaborate on.

    Actually, I suppose it’s channged hands so many times that no, it’s not the company that brought us Arpege.

      Certainly not, since Arpege is not Arpege any more.

    I’m just thinking of all the celebrity flanker potential… Lanvin and Liz Taylor present Marry Me Again!… and Again… ad infinitum. Of course there could be a Zsa Zsa Gabor luxe edition, too, and a celebrity prenup His and Hers set…

    I always wanted to name OPI polishes myself. They’re great fun.

    How about:

    DInner and a Movie
    Go Steady With Me
    La Grande Robe Blanche (Guerlain might take umbrage at that)

    They could offer an “anniversary” flanker each year, such as Paper, Wood, Tin, Crystal…and then, for those who manage to stay together until death do they part–Bury Me!

      I was just reading about vetiver the other day, and I really see that note in something like Bury Me! With incense and lilly thrown in, and an ad campaign featuring black lace dresses and a Cure songs.

      Well, I’d buy it.
