L’Âme Perdue

Madly vanilla

Incredible emotion poured into superb femininity.

Main notes
Green mandarin - jasmine - plum - vanilla

The olfactory signature
Ylang-ylang, which intensifies the power of the jasmine and spices through its multiple facets for a dazzling presence.

Description
A green and fruity mandarin brings with it spiced washes of cardamom and pepper. A collection of fruits and spices join a gigantic heart of white flowers. A titanic vanilla enters the scene, bringing with it an entourage of amber, balms and woods.

Context
L’Âme Perdue is inspired by one of Paul Vacher’s first creations for Lanvin in 1928. Named Lost Soul, it is said to have been composed in memory of a lost love. Paul Vacher made a fragrance that spoke to his sensitive side, and gave it a personality like no other. In 2018, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, inspired by that scent, created this opulent vanilla chypre score.

A word from our perfumer
“There is a fascinating link between the absence of what was lost, and the presence of what is recreated. The more devastating the loss, the more grandiose the creation that comes from it. This is what I wanted to express with this fragrance, where two duos of jasmines and vanillas are joined through innumerable fruity, spiced and amber links.”
