Carven Le Parfum Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Carven Le Parfum Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray is the modern signature fragrance of the historic Parisian fashion house, originally launched in 2013 and composed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. A youthful floral chypre, it opens with sparkling green sweet pea and mandarin, develops a heart of jasmine, hyacinth and ylang-ylang, and dries down on a quietly chypre base of patchouli, sandalwood and a soft moss-musk accord. The 100ml flacon is the value-led format of the line.

About Carven

Carven is a French fashion house founded in 1945 by couturier Marie-Louise Carven, celebrated for the iconic green-and-white striped Ma Griffe and a heritage of pretty, well-cut couture for petite women. The maison's modern fragrance offering revives this same gentle, quintessentially Parisian sensibility.

Fragrance notes

• Top: mandarin, sweet pea, green leaves
• Heart: jasmine, hyacinth, ylang-ylang
• Base: patchouli, sandalwood, white musk, oakmoss accord

Who it's for

Le Parfum suits women who enjoy fresh, slightly green florals with a refined finish. It is particularly well placed in spring and early summer, for the office, brunches and daytime social occasions, and works as a sophisticated alternative to typical fruity-floral compositions in the same price tier.

How to wear

Apply two to three sprays to the wrists, the décolletage and the back of the neck. Eau de parfum strength provides five to seven hours of wear with moderate, well-mannered sillage; a discreet refresh in the early afternoon will see the fragrance through into the evening.
