Jeanne Lanvin is one of the greatest women in fashion and perfumery of the 20th century.
Born in 1867 in Paris, she began her life as a simple seamstress, but soon proved her talent and opened her own house in 1889.
Lanvin was not just a fashion designer, but a humanist and artistic visionary whose creations were always linked to love, femininity, and the warmth of family.
This emotional dimension was evident in all the fashion and perfume products she produced.
Arpège perfume (1927)
In 1927, Jeanne Lanvin launched her greatest achievement in the world of perfume: **Arpège**.
She gave it to her daughter Margaret on the occasion of her thirtieth birthday.
