Oxygene

This tantalising and fresh fragrance was the first woman's perfume created by Lanvin since its famous Arpège was launched in 1927. As its name suggests, it is like taking a breath of fresh, invigorating air that will free the mind and senses and leave behind the stifling sensation of the daily grind. The top notes of this extremely fresh fragrance are bergamot and gardenia. The blue/purple flowers of the herb hyssop also add zest and the heart is warmed by iris and rose. There is also a hint of spicy white pepper and base notes of sandalwood and white musk. Its freshness makes it useful for casual wear but its florals suggest romance.
