Rumeur (2006) by Lanvin Parfum (15ml)

Fragrance Family: Floral Woody Musk

Here is an excerpt of the wonderful Bois de Jasmin's review of this fragrance when it was released in 2006:

Indeed, like Elbazs jewel-toned draped cocktail dresses, Rumeur is easy to wear. The effect of warm silk clinging to the skin is conjured by layering the transparent floral accords over a soft woody-musky base and accenting the arrangement with crisp, fruity aldehydes. The subtlety of indolic notes and the gentle sweetness underpinning the floral heart lend a delicate quality to the composition. Oscillating between a flower corsage and a transparent silk dress, Rumeur is marked by the romantic loveliness, rather than the edgy modernism I originally expected. In terms of its character, it reminds me of Narciso Rodriguez For Her, which also conjures the screechy feel of raw silk.  Just like I remarked about Sisley Soir de Lune, the elegance of the composition might find resonance among those who are tired of candy floss and pink berries flooding the feminine market this fall.  Although not what I would deem dramatic, Rumeur has enough presence to leave an impression.

Lanvin Rumeur was composed by Francis Kurkdjian, and features magnolia, white roses, jasmine sambac, seringa, orange blossom, lily of the valley, patchouli, musks, ambroxan.
