Lanvin will follow 2008’s Jeanne Lanvin fragrance with Jeanne La Rose, a new limited edition flanker for women.
Jeanne La Rose is described as a “more romantic” and “more couture” version of the original Jeanne Lanvin.

Before anyone hyperventilates (and I nearly did when I saw the one in the center), these are NOT perfume bottles. They’re limited edition porcelain figurines from Lanvin, to celebrate the brand’s 120 anniversary…
