Jean-Louis Scherrer Parfum: The very first perfume of the great Parisian couturier
She founded her own fashion house, of the same name in 1909, rue du Faubourg St Honoré. Her daughter Marguerite, born in 1897, will become Jeanne's muse, and the object of her infinite inspiration ... A history rich in know-how and innovations, which has earned her the honor for her 125 years of luxury and French elegance. The fragrance “Jeanne Lanvin” by Lanvin created in 2008 is a romantic and candid homage.
Originally Jeanne Lanvin
Jeanne Lanvin is a key figure in the world of perfumery and haute couture. Coming from a modest family, Jeanne Lanvin is forced to work early. At the age of 13, she therefore found herself working for a Parisian hat maker. Five years later, she wanted to open her own hat workshop. Once her fashion house opened, Jeanne Lanvin imagines lines for children and women and her creativity is limitless. The elegance of the lines and the nobility of the materials used make Jeanne Lanvin a representative of French chic. It was in 1924 that she embarked on perfumery, with just as much talent. The perfume "Jeanne Lanvin" is the unforgettable meeting of the founder of the fashion house, with her artistic director.
Modern notes by Jeanne Lanvin
Although Jeanne Lanvin is no longer of this world, its artistic director, Alber Elbaz, wanted to pay tribute to the great lady, by dedicating a perfume that bears her name. The fragrance is modern, couture and really sophisticated. “Jeanne Lanvin” expresses a cheerful, floral and gourmet femininity. “Jeanne Lanvin” begins with a sweet and fruity touch with the blackberry. The latter is then coated by the dynamism of the citron, and by the pear, juicy at will. The heart is feminine, because it is ultra floral. It is composed of freesia, rose, peony, which combines with a very sweet raspberry. Finally, the base of “Jeanne Lanvin” is warm and sensual, with the presence of musk, sandalwood and ambergris. The bottle could not be more sublime, chic and elegant in the image of the designer. In the shape of a glass cube, clean and uncluttered, the bottle rests on a base with a rounded drop. The bottle is then dressed in a veil of pink silk tulle as well as a grosgrain label, which is reminiscent of the couture spirit of the Lanvin house.
What better way to pay homage to a great lady than to create a perfume bearing her name? “Jeanne Lanvin” plunges us into the wonderful world of fashion and perfumery. Bold, yet sophisticated, the composition reminds us of the personality of Jeanne Lanvin. An ultra elegant fragrance in the image of Jeanne Lanvin.
