Lanvin’s latest fragrance for women is the new Lanvin Me. Per Lanvin, its credo is “be myself, become ME”, but it also promises to embody elegance, style and Parisian chic — if that doesn’t sound like you, perhaps you need Lanvin Me all the more?
Elegance, style and Parisian chic are personified here by a fruity and sweet floral gourmand, with a decent dose of blueberry in the opening and a full-bodied floral heart. There’s also plenty of licorice (the notes: mandarin, blueberry, licorice, rose, tuberose and sandalwood). Like nearly any licorice-heavy fragrance, it calls to mind the gold standard, Lolita Lempicka, but only vaguely — this one has a warm woody base, but without the Thierry Mugler Angel-inspired dark patchouli sugar. It might be more useful to think of it as a kind of cross between Diesel Loverdose and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb…
