Lanvin
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The Primofiore lemon hits with immediate, almost aggressive luminosity—dense and waxy rather than sharp—whilst bergamot's rounded warmth develops beneath. Pink pepper crackles through within seconds, imparting a subtle peppery bite that prevents the citrus from becoming one-dimensional.
Grapefruit blossom emerges with touching vulnerability, its fruity-floral sweetness playing against the increasingly prominent spindrift accord. The marine breeze turns this into something ethereal and atmospheric—the scent becomes less a traditional fragrance and more an olfactory impression of sea air itself, salty and ozonic.
The base offers only the thinnest veil of permanence as white musk and driftwood fade almost immediately, leaving behind barely-there wisps of vague warmth. Within five hours, you'll catch only faint traces on skin touched with warmth, and by evening, the fragrance has essentially vanished—which appears entirely intentional.
A Girl In Capri captures that suspended moment between land and sea—the precise instant before you abandon yourself to the Mediterranean. Sophie Labbé has constructed something genuinely transient here, a fragrance that refuses to cling. The Primofiore lemon arrives with almost aggressive brightness, its waxy density immediately tempered by bergamot's bergapten-tinged citrus complexity. Pink pepper threads through, adding a subtle prickling quality that prevents this opening from becoming merely cheerful; there's a slight anise-tinged warmth lurking beneath the citrus effervescence.
What distinguishes this composition is the restraint once the heart blooms. Rather than amplifying the floral through overdose, Labbé allows grapefruit blossom to emerge with remarkable delicacy—a fruity-floral sweetness that smells less like actual blossoms and more like the idea of them, sketched in pale watercolour. Spindrift (a synthetic marine accord) functions as expected: salty, ozonic, slightly aldehydic. The interaction between fruit blossom and marine breeze creates something deliberately evanescent, as though you're meant to question whether you're smelling perfume or merely the salt-touched air itself.
