Lanvin Me by Lanvin

Received it today. Although I bought it expecting something more potent for this summer it’s quite the opposite: very soft and fruity. It smells of sweet apples yet after checking the ingredients I can’t find apple or apple blossom to explain this delicious taste. EDIT: After letting it sit for a while I can now describe it better. It opens with fruity notes of blueberry pear and apple—quite sweet but not cloying. It lasts around three hours with each note coming through in its own time. The heart is calmer floral and sweet; I absolutely adore the neroli. The base disappoints me slightly; it’s just sandalwood which smells incredible but I was hoping for more. In summary: a sweet fruity/woody scent. Longevity: over 10 hours in cool weather around 6 in the heat. Sillage: beastly in the first two hours in cool weather then fades; in heat it’s soft noticeable but not intrusive. Would I buy it again? Absolutely! I’ll grab another bottle when I find it.

I bought it looking for a fruity scent, but it’s very strong… it made me feel dizzy. What a pity, I bought the EDP and there it is forgotten in the wardrobe 🙁

Very similar to Guerlain’s Petit Black Robe or Petit Black Robe Florale. At first the blackcurrants are acidic yet sweet like cherries then they fade after an hour leaving creamy flowers with licorice. I bought it for my mother; it’s not for young girls. It’s a winter or evening scent: sweet intense penetrating refined elegant and mature.

I only wear sweet perfumes and was looking for one for autumn/winter to replace the D&G Pour Femme which didn’t suit me at all. The box and bottle are beautiful minimalist and elegant. The scent is rich but I’m not convinced by it; I wore it at the end of winter and unlike Dolce Garden I haven’t received any positive comments. I’ll finish it next winter to see if it wins me over. If anyone has recommendations for sweet florals or gourmands for cold weather I’d love to hear them.

I entirely agree with previous reviews on how difficult it is to describe and that Cupido missed the mark. There was no instant spark with this fragrance, but through sheer persistence, my perception has shifted. I no longer see you as a withered lettuce rescued from a vacant lot; you have metamorphosed. You are the soaked lettuce that dries to reveal a soft field of anise, where stems of neroli and roses form the bars of your crib. It is an atypical, insolent, strange, sweet, and shameless gourmand. It has moderate longevity and a soft sillage; you have won me over, capturing my attention though not yet my heart. You are a cocktail of white and red flower leaves; that is your sage through which your fruit sails without coagulating… and as decoration: a small green and fresh fan, folded like a lettuce leaf that fled to share its unsuspected aroma of such a strange brew. I think you have achieved a shy success.

I bought this fragrance after reading the reviews and it left me with a great lesson: in perfumes, it’s all a matter of taste. It had everything to be a great perfume and I simply hated it. I gave it two chances and couldn’t handle it. I gave it away without pain. For me: a sweet aroma with a mix of rancid or old, like extremely overripe fruit. Past, old, I don’t know. This isn’t for me.

This fragrance was love at first sight. It is an excellent creation by Lanvin. It is enchanting, elegant, and truly sweet at the start due to the blackberries, yet it never becomes cloying. The most prominent and wonderful note is the neroli-licorice, which conquered me. It has excellent fixative qualities and longevity of several hours; it is pure power.

Although I am not a lover of sweet perfumes, this is one of them but different. As Raspberry said, these are not those adolescent, mass-market, exhausting sweet fragrances. It is something entirely distinct and difficult to describe because I cannot clearly distinguish the notes. However, it is highly recommended; it has very good longevity; in my case, I could still smell it on my clothes days after wearing it. It is a delight, a beautiful creation.

Agree with Fanática: it’s sweet and enveloping, but for a grown woman, not a teenager. Very warm, with incredible longevity and sillage (be careful!). My 8-year-old son smelled it and said ‘it smells like an orange’; at first I didn’t notice, but then I felt that super-sweet, almost candied mandarin with a woody base. Sophisticated and striking. I loved it so much I bought it straight away. If you like LVEB by Lancôme, try Me by Lanvin. The bottle is gorgeous!

Sweet-sweet pastel, what a delight. A fragrance that lingers on your skin and in your wardrobe. It’s very pleasant to wear your own scent, absolutely rich, a total discovery. I tried it the first time and didn’t like it, no love at first sight… but the second time I couldn’t leave it in the shop. Jojojojo. Highly recommended 100%.
