Lanvin Modern Princess is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Christophe Raynaud. Modern Princess opens with Red Apple and Red Currant, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Orchid. Lanvin's Modern Princess carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Modern Princess is a sweet, fresh ode to red apple that's tragically let down by woeful performance. It's a delightful, youthful scent but fades faster than a fleeting thought. Ideal for those who love overspraying and fruit-forward fragrances without commitment. Otherwise, you're better off with a body mist.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its minimal sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close-contact settings like the office or casual outings without being overwhelming. It's too light for formal events and not quite unique enough for a memorable date, but the fresh fruitiness works well for a quick post-gym refresh.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It bursts open with a juicy, tart blend of red apple and redcurrant, a truly invigorating fruity punch. This vibrant start quickly mellows, allowing the soft, clean freshness of jasmine and freesia to emerge, adding a touch of feminine grace. The dry down, though brief, rounds out into a cozy, subtle embrace of woody notes and a hint of musk, leaving a faint, intimate aura.
