About Lanvin

Lanvin, one of the oldest French fashion houses, was founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889. It began as a millinery shop in Paris, quickly expanding into clothing after the dresses Jeanne made for her daughter began to attract the attention of wealthy clients. Lanvin's growth into a full-fledged fashion house represented a merger of art and fashion, marked by Jeanne Lanvin's involvement in the 1920s art scene, which influenced her designs.

While Lanvin is primarily known for its contributions to fashion, the house also has a significant presence in the fragrance world. Its first perfume, My Sin (Mon Péché), was launched in 1924, followed by the iconic Arpège in 1927, created as a gift for Jeanne Lanvin's daughter on her 30th birthday. The name "Arpège" refers to the arpeggio, a musical term, and the fragrance was meant to evoke the sound of Jeanne Lanvin playing the piano for her daughter. The iconic black bottle with its gold mother-and-daughter logo is a testament to Lanvin's deep roots in family and fashion.

Lanvin's fragrances have since become as integral to the brand's identity as its fashion line, with a reputation for elegance and timeless allure. Based in France, Lanvin continues to produce fragrances that are both modern and reflective of its rich heritage, maintaining its status as a symbol of French luxury and sophistication in the fashion and fragrance industries.
