Jeanne Lanvin Lanvin 2008

Jeanne is not just a perfume for me, but a scent that will forever remind me of a certain period in my life, during which it not only accompanied me but also guided me. At that time, I was at a clinic in a new city for my doctoral thesis, and just the thought of the upcoming demands of this job had me feeling anxious and uneasy for weeks beforehand. Somehow, during the preparation period, I instinctively sought out a new fragrance that would accompany me into this uncertain future, giving me confidence, support, and reassurance. I know it sounds more like I was looking for a psychologist than a perfume, but I also know that there are certainly some like-minded individuals here who understand me. For me, Jeanne was exactly that; like a big sister, a mentor who supported me on my first day at work and through the major challenges. Whenever I sprayed it on, I always felt calm and confident. I find this composition of fresh, early-summer berries (the raspberry is definitely the most intense scent for me) with lemon drizzle, bright woods, and delicate flowers simply makes me happy and radiates a fresh, cheerful dynamism. But not a loud, over-the-top "Tchaka-Tchaka, you can do it, cowboy," rather this deeply relaxed, self-assured inner contentment. The fragrance was also very present for me throughout the day, so I would absolutely praise not only the pretty bottle but also the longevity and sillage.
