Composition
The fragrance has been referred to as the "fragrance of 1,000 flowers" and it contains some 60 floral essences.[3] Like Chanel No.5, launched six years earlier, it is considered an aldehydic floral perfume.[4][5]
The original black bottle with a gold top was decorated with a gold illustration of Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter, created by French fashion illustrator Iribe.[2]
In 1993, the perfume was reformulated by Hubert Fraysse, brother of André and founder of fragrance manufacturer Synarome.[6][7]
85th anniversary
A special edition minaudière (evening bag) was launched in 2013 to mark the 85th anniversary of the perfume.[3]
