Lanvin is a French Fashion house which also holds the reputation of being Paris’ oldest fashion house which has focused on luxury fashion ensembles notably mother-daughter ensembles, luxury accessories, and perfumes. Lanvin was founded in 1889 at 22 Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré by 22-year-old Jeanne Lanvin. Lanvin’s most notable achievement took place after she expanded the fashion house to include Lanvin Parfums in 1924. The company’s most successful fragrance, Arpège (named after her daughter Marguerite’s arpeggios during piano practice) was launched to great success in 1927 and remains an enduring classic, still in production today. The golden figure on Arpège’s perfume bottle depicts Jeanne and Marguerite attending a ball. This golden figure symbolizing maternal love became the House of Lanvin logo in 1954.
Lanvin’s most notable perfumes include names such as; Eclat D’arpege, Eclat D’arpege (for men), L’homee, Vetyver, Oxygene and Rumeur.
