A Superfluous Cleaner Lemon and a Wasted Artistic Name

No comments yet? Well, one can gladly ignore this Lanvin in the long run.

This finely sounding French brand unfortunately hasn't left a particularly large footprint in the fragrance sector, and this vague, shallow citrus drop will not contribute to that either.

A zesty start, a lot of lemon and a bit of mandarin, but not really pleasant and natural, rather rough, sharp, and hastily thrown together.

The light blue filled bottle is as inconspicuous and trivial as the scent itself, which reveals its artificiality more and more after half an hour and is quickly fixed with Ambrofix. A bit aquatic, but largely devoid of content.

The quite artistic name "Éclat d`Arpège" certainly feels wasted and exaggerated for this lemon infusion - Lanvin should have saved it for something more spiritual, more noble.

...I can't leave the comment about the footprint "uncommented"... Lanvin has brought some truly amazing fragrances to the market... you have to understand and discover them... it takes time...
