Lanvin

About

Lanvin was founded in Paris in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin and is one of the oldest French fashion houses still recognised today. Its fragrance history is substantial: Arpège, created in 1927, became a classic and linked the house permanently with French perfumery. Modern and later collections such as Marry Me, Oxygène and L’Homme explore softer florals, airy freshness, aromatics and woods. Lanvin’s aspirational value comes from quiet heritage rather than contemporary hype—a historic couture name whose perfumes often remain more understated and accessible than those of larger luxury groups.
