Floral Allrounder for Everyday Use
Lanvin is one of those traditional fashion houses that has run out of steam decades ago. Founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin in Paris, this fashion house has experienced many ups and downs. The last peak was noted in the millennium years when Alber Elbaz took over as creative director. Elbaz, known for his beautiful cocktail dresses, breathed new life into Lanvin and was able to increase not only sales but also recognition. Perhaps some of you remember his "legendary" collaboration with H&M? In 2010, he designed a series of cocktail dresses for the fashion chain, many of which later wanted to be sold on eBay for exorbitant amounts.
After Elbaz had to leave the company in 2015, Lanvin began a slow decline again. I would argue that this decline is also reflected in the perfume prices, as well as their availability in the drugstores we trust.
Eclat de Fleurs was so extremely cheap online a few years ago that I immediately got the 100 ml version, even though I didn't know the scent at all. The fragrance pyramid convinced me, and of course, the price did too. But how does Lanvin's Eclat de Fleurs smell?
It is a light, unobtrusive, floral scent. The sweetness here (thankfully) holds back. Suitable for both spring and summer. Freesia, jasmine, and rose create a beautiful floral bouquet, while I can hardly detect the pear in the top note. I perceive the flowers for about 3-4 hours until they make way for the musk and sandalwood, and the perfume gradually becomes skin-close. Eclat de Fleurs is totally suitable for everyday use and thus also for the office. The sillage is okay, so you won't annoy anyone, even if you sprayed too much. And here I come to the downsides of the scent: The fragrance composition is simple and thus does not stand out from the trillions of perfumes. The longevity is moderate and the sillage okay. This also applies to the current prices.
However, those looking for a special perfume with a refined fragrance composition and long-lasting longevity or sillage will not find it here.
CONCLUSION: With Eclat de Fleurs, you can't go wrong; the perfume works anytime, just like the Chloe scents (unless you don't like flowers). If you're looking for a delicate, floral scent that is an allrounder for everyday use, you can confidently go for this one.
