Modern Princess by Lanvin is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Modern Princess was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Christophe Raynaud. Top notes are Red Apple and Red Currant; middle notes are Freesia and Jasmine; base notes are Vanilla Orchid, White Musk and White Woods.

The fashion house of Lanvin launches Modern Princess under the Interparfums license in July 2016 as the new chapter of Lanvin perfumes. Lanvin manifests the new, modern vision of a woman as a rebellious adventurer of free spirit: “Glamorous, untamed and fiercely sensual, she uses her own free will, playing with secrets and certainties. She has never been held prisoner of anything, nor of anyone. She creates her own destiny. Her freedom is precious. "

The creator, perfumer Christophe Raynaud of Firmenich, describes it as a sexy floral fragrance full of texture, emotion and sensoriality, inspired by the red color: ”Red is synonymous with passion, sensuality and intensity. It's the colour of love, but also of the forbidden. It is irresistibly attractive and fascinating; tempting like an addictive fruit."

Top notes are fresh and invigorating and youthful with succulent Pink Lady apple and red currant. Middle notes are more feminine; the dual character of jasmine, delicate and carnal at the same time, blends with freesia flower. Base notes represent assertive femininity with velvety white musk, luxurious blonde woods and sensual vanilla orchid.

The face of the perfume is Spanish model Steffy Argelich, shot by Jérémmie Rozan.The glass bottle, designed by Carré Basset, is decorated with a gold chain around its neck. The red box features the white logo. The fragrance is available as a 30, 60, 90 ml Eau de Parfum.

A very happy scent , fruity but not in syrupy way but rather airy .. i see why some people say it reminds them of d&g 3 .. well it kinda does but this is definitely fresher and minus the cloying watermelon ... inoffensive , safe blind buy

washudtoj

A blind buy, but a winner.

I never expected much from Lanvin to begin with but chose to blind buy this one because the notes were attractive to me, and boy was I glad I did.

It's fruity and a little sweet. If you're a fan of Moschino Toy 2 or D&G l'Impératrice, I highly suggest you try this.

The only drawback is that it has almost no sillage and longevity is really poor. Yves Rocher fragrances are (most of the time) cheaper and better-performing.

Still, the scent itself is great. Nothing ground breaking, but simple and youthful on its own. People who love 'mature' scents might wish to avoid it, though.

I just purchased Modern Princess at a discounted price because I was looking for something slightly different than my go to for years "Eclat d'Arpège". Now that I have tried it, I can say I will probably not repurchase. It smells good, but it is lighter than Eclat and fruitier. Makes me think a bit of Anna Sui's "Secret Wish" for some reason but I haven't smelled this one for years, so it might not be acurate... This fragrance can be worn all day without annoying co-workers. It is very safe and pleasant. But it will not replace "Eclat" for me.

pandasniffs

this is very pretty and moreish. Reminds me a little bit of god is a woman from ariana grande, but it's much much lighter (barely there really) and apple instead of pear.

Jacquis

Modern Princess is a tart, fruity perfume with some white musk in the base. This perfume stays tart and vibrant for hours in this 80F, low humidity weather. It took a few months on the shelf for this perfume to settle and come alive. Modern Princess is full of character and substance if worn in temperate, dry conditions. I enjoy this spunky little perfume. She is no shrinking violet.

celyn_jo

I love the top notes, and the middle notes really took off after 1 hour.
However, by the second hour, it completely disappeared on my skin. There wasn't even a trace of the scent.

ModernPrincessss

This was the first perfume I ever properly owned in my early twenties and I loved it with all my heart (hence the username haha). It's a sweet light and fresh floral, I got fruity on initial spray but it would fade away by the dry down to reveal a light feminine delicate floral scent. I couldn't find it for the longest time but I found it recently at a perfume shop and I'm still very fond of it but I have outgrown it a bit. It's a great feminine daytime fragrance though. I don't smell the similarity to Versace Dylan purple, I'd liken it more to Mon Paris by YSL but it is not a dupe of that either. Mon Paris has a similar feel to it sometime after the initial spray but has some different notes in the base that make it a bit more fuller bodied.

Juicyvine

I bought this as a dupe for Versace Dylan Purple- however be warned they do differ a lot in the base notes. Versace is more soft blonde woods and ambroxan, which I love. The juicy, fruity opening is the same, but Princess has this very strong sour, sweet, flowery, alcohol, accord in the middle and base, almost aged-floral smelling- and I'm getting "young" grandma vibes from this- like the kind that refuses to be called grandma but something else more youthful like Mimi, Nana, and definitely Gigi. I find that after the fruit wears off what lingers behind is a bit cloying.

I have a recently acquired mini of this that I'm really enjoying.
I smelled this when it was released but never tested it although I did like the scent from the bottle. I also found the bottle very pleasing.
My interest in this was reawakened by the spate of more recent releases in this vein like the new Dylan Purple and Dolce Peony that I like but can't wear because they are just too strong for my nose.
This however is a less synthetic smelling and gentler floral/fruity scent with woods that are greatly toned down.
In divergence from the poster below me, I like the base notes here very much. They linger on me as a skin scent for a good few hours too.
I also like that this fragrance has a clear evolution on my skin: the top, middle and base are quite distinct from each other.
I do think that this is one mini that I will definitely upgrade to a full bottle and probably sooner rather than later.
Edit - 8/6/23 - On second thought I'm not going to rush to upgrade this to FB. I still think it's a very pretty scent, although maybe a tiny bit basic. I'm also not sure I really need this in my collection right now. I'll finish the mini and then re-evaluate.

celestial

Modern Princess starts off as a pleasant fruity floral, and the scent itself is more interesting and complex than I expected. It's sweet and a bit sour but I don't like the musk in the dry-down. P.S. After trying it for longer, I don't like this scent because the base musky notes are quite off-putting and last for a very long time.

lepx0x

Versace Dylan purple without the staying power and price point. - Got a 3oz bottle for $25 on ebay, so I don’t mind over-spraying because the staying power sucks. Sweet & girly but in a mature way - it’s honestly delicious and feminine.

If you are interested in Versace Dylan purple but cannot afford it or miss the original “love pink” by Victoria’s Secret - this is a pretty good dupe and alternative.

This will only work if you’re looking for an OK fruity scent with weak longevity. Not worth it.

ykarnavusha

This was my signature scent for 5 years and I really love it, but LONGEVITY is so poor: you can literally take a bath in this perfume and the scent will be gone in 20 minutes. This scent is good for all possible occasions, it's very light, feminine. youthful and juicy. To me it smells like Dolce Peony and VS Eau So Sexy.

Viinis

This is one scent that my partner always compliments on me. It smells lovely and lasts on my skin over 10h. Really my everyday scent.

ibralemmi

I have a lotion of this and IT SMELLS LIKE FLEUR NARCOTIQUE. I bought 2ml sample of FN for 828272$ And i smelled it and was like wait a damn minute I know this smell. And guess what? Comes out other people think that too.

Tiffasuzuki

This is a good low key, everyday skin scent. Like you don’t wanna fuss so you give this a spritz on your wrists before running out to do errands or picking up the dog from the groomers.
It’s not energizing like citrus but the juicy apple and tart berries in this perfume will instantly lift your mood.
The dry down smells like a cozy musky strawberry marshmallow.

This is for quiet afternoons, making pastel colored drinks, reading books and romanticizing your life.

ArianaS

Exactly the quality of Avon’s perfume. Extremely weak and persistence like non existent.I can’t even say how it smells like. Not sure if I understand the point of this fragrance.

AriaLennon

This one has a fresh, soft and realistic opening with a splash of fruits followed by the flower enveloping which then dries down to musky, woody, and vanilla orchids. I would say this is a mouthwatering and addictive scent. Romantic! Feminine in all ways! I am blessed to have this one!

dglightblue

Hey guys, if you aren't keen on this one due to longevity, try lanvin Jeanne, its quiet, but longer lasting, you get replays of sillage throughout its life
Cheers from nz

Silkworm424

This is my daily scent. Light and feminine.
Opening is sweet fruity. I love this crispy apple scent. Juicy,fresh,and cute.
Many people may think this is suitable for only young women, but I don’t think so. Floral scent of Jasmine and freesia is elegant and musk scent has clean sexiness . I can find mature feminity in them.

RSB28

I call this my “gym scent”, as I often wear it to the gym, however this is such a lovely fragrance that sometimes it feels like a waste to wear it to the gym. I generally don’t like fresh scents, but this is so fresh and fruity and perfect in the heat.

tonkatsu335

It is so weak that you can hardly smell it unless you put your face close to where you put it on.

It's just a sweet, cheesy scent that doesn't leave a lasting impression.

There are plenty of drugstore body sprays that smell like this and I don't feel the need to choose this one.

Treslicious

Don’t buy this. Save up and get Burberry her instead. I have always been a fan of Lanvin fragrances as I thought they offer such great value for their price. However this one screams cheap, from the liquid to the bottle. It smells similar to Burberry her, but the latter is a lot more concentrated and nicer. I also have see by Chloe si belle, which is listed as similar here, but that one at least has a nice gardenia note. This one opens with a sweet, artificial apple note then turns into a mishmash of sweet and creaminess, which all fade away within an hour. Very disappointed with this one.

Ellsa

So sad that Lanvin makes so weak perfumes when is about the silage and longevity especially because they are so "safe". I never had any problem with them fragrances, maybe because are that weak, that's why, who knows. I would have been loyal all my life at Lanvin house because of the way they combine the ingredients in a rafinate way. This fragrance is indeed a fragrance for a princess, suitable for young women until 40, so feminine,floral-sweet without the nausea sensation but because of the bad almost non- existent performance this is my last perfume from them. I will never buy again another perfume from Lanvin. Regarding the notes I don't feel the apple( which is great in my opinion) but mostly freesia( which is my favorite flower smell that's why I'm even more disappointed because of the longevity of this) and some red currant that gives a fresh sensation. This should be eau de toilette, is no way an eau de perfume.

lovealwaysalisa

I just purchased this fragrance while searching for something that had an apple shampoo vibe. This fragrance was mentioned numerous times and was compared to the discontinued See by Chloe. I am wearing this for the first time today. My first impressions of this is apple juice and freesia. It seems to sit very close to the skin and is light and airy. I will update with longevity soon. So far I really like it.
***Edit: Longevity is very short, maybe 3 hrs tops. Sillage is close to skin. Makes me a bit nauseous as well. Going be getting rid if this one unfortunately.

Katiestark

This perfume is great for teenagers and someone looking for a more fruity perfume. This smells like a Victoria’s Secret body spray and the one that comes to mind which smells exactly like end is a great Dupe for Eau so sexy by Victoria’s Secret. I have the fragrance mist next to me right now smelling this body spray and modern princess and they know lie smell identical. Modern princess doesn’t really last that long, actually thing about it it smells and less just as long as the body spray from Victoria’s Secret. Overall I do like it but it is a little bit overpriced but if you like Eau So Sexy by Victoria’s Secret than this is perfect for you!

Jellobello

This smells soooo good on me i love sniffing myself when i'm wearing this. Very refreshing and lively, best for going out on a sunny day. But i also like to put it on pjs as well, the smell is still there when i wake up.

aomhusky

I really enjoy this one. This is the perfume that makes you feel happy and fresh. It also smell really nice and smell exactly like D&G peony, the purple one. The scent is subtle and friendly for surrounding people's noses. For me, the scent last all day but mostly as skin scent after 4 hour and it still smell like the opening scent (well, I live in a hot and humid country.

nailaddict_81

This is one of my favorite apple smells on fragrances, a perfect Summer day scent.
I also looove the bottle shape and design.
I just think it's a little overpriced (at least in my country) for such a light fragrance. I get that every fragrance has its own purpose and thank God some are meant to be light scents. But I can get a bunch of other options, as good as this one, for much less.
I will use my bottle, but probably won't repurchase.

grapefruit352

Very very faint scent of undetectable tender and light powdery something. I was kinda surprised..I could hardly feel it on my skin..right from the start it felt like its already finished! Wow..First time I get an experience like that with the perfume!
I put "dislike" here, because I did not feel anything here. For the perfume its not good news.

KylieBooFace

I LOVE THIS! This was a blind buy for an absolute steal on Walmart.com (get it from Walmart as the specific retailer/seller) for a huge 3 oz bottle. Thank you to the folks on Fragrantica who reviewed this and said it is similar to Eau so Sexy. It really is! The apple is so juicy, and the Lanvin name feels more elegant than VS IMO. The bottle looks like a beautiful ball gown. The other notes are so subtle you can barely smell them (IMO), but the apple and red currant make my mouth water. 😍 This is something I would wear when I want to feel hyper feminine, fruity, and year-round delightful.

ririca

I didn't expect to like this scent. It was practically pushed on me by the lady at the perfume counter, and I obliged her because she had been assisting me for the better part of the hour, opening half a dozen bottles for me to sample.

She said this was a great, popular fragrance for "young people" like me. Being in my early thirties, I wanted to distance myself from anything "young" or "youthful". I wanted something clean, subtle, but not boring. I went home with this bottle and expected to be disappointed.

This is now my everyday scent. An opening of apple so crisp and sweet it almost smells like strawberry. Don't worry though—it dries down within the hour to leave a blend of sweet, powdery floral, enhanced by a tantalizing vanilla note that refuses to go flat throughout the day. If you've ever been on the fence of vanilla scents because every vanilla scent you'd sampled smelled really flat, this might be the answer. The sillage is very good—the top notes disappear in a couple of hours, but the drydown lingers even on my clothes the next day. The scent is so vibrant that I keep choosing it over my tried-and-tested Happy Heart.

I think the perfume is true to its name and evokes the image of a young woman who is headstrong and unapologetically feminine. Think Elayne Trakand in Wheel of Time, Eilonwy in Chronicles of Prydain, or Princess Nina of Wyndia in the Breath of Fire series.

I like this change of pace (scent?) and will probably hold on to this one for a while.

Masha_latte

It's a great fresh flowery perfume, young and lovely. Too bad it has to be reapplied every hour or so.

Dakota22

Tried 3 Lanvin fragrances this week. I have run the Luca Turin scenario of Mom scents, Guerlains, Chanels, vintage, niche. I am enthralled with the light juicyness of Lanvin's Jeanne, A Girl in Capri, an Modern Princess. None are mind blowing, but each one is a delight, and so are the prices. One review spoke of Lanvin hav ing a secret "something" in the background of thei r fragrances. I get that and enjoy it.

Burgundy Jayde

😂Now that I took a shower and removed the putrid stench of the perfume Lou Lou 💩 Poo ...I decided to give this a try. I bought a 4 different perfume variety pack off of EBay this was with Lou Lou Poo. Thankfully this is HEAVENLY. Nothing like Lanvin Arpege ( that frag smells like poo too)

This fragrance is smells very lovely and soft. 🍎 The Apple and freesia🌸 are a romantic marriage of fruitful bliss. I do smell a hint of vanilla orchid as it drys down it makes this scent kinda SEXY. I really like this perfect for spring and summer days in the garden sipping blueberry tea in the nature 🌳🦋 wearing a tiara and casting spells of love and enchantment.. 🔮 I got a small 25ml bottle and it came with a shiny metallic pretty little purse to put it in. It's lofty. Very linear and angelic ..very pure. Nothing sharp or bitter. Nothing harsh. This is what I personally look for in a fragrance. I do not like top loud over the too perfumes that create a massive village. I prefer body scents myself. This is perfect. Lanvin win win. 💜

Jcsmels

After reading all the other reviews and putting it on myself I realize that this particular perfume changes a lot depending on body chemistry. On my skin turns into a soft marshmallowy vanilla musk with a little bit of sour lemon and not in a bad way it’s really nice I quite enjoy it I read that on other people it turns into a fruity thing I get a zero fruit.
I get a feminine musk with some vanilla and a dash of sour citrus or maybe under ripe berry. There is nothing I would call apple, which is fine by me I’m not a fan of apple on myself. This was a blind buy for me, one of my first, and a great success! If you enjoy soft sweet musky fragrance with a tiny something extra give this a try.

Gege Moraes

For me it’s smells like Burberry Her! The same sour fruits at the beginning!!! I love! I think Burberry her last more! Sorry my English is sucks kkk

zombieldehyde

This smells literally like cotton candies. It is very fitting and something that I would expect from its packaging - pink, girly bottle, and with the name princess. I would associate it with young kids playing princesses because who else are modern princesses? Totally a no-buy for me because I like mature scents more.

justfloral

After spraying: pear
After a minute: pear + strawberry + marshmallows
After 10 minutes: wow, lemon, so nice. Lemon + strawberry + marshmallows.
Lemon note is so funny here. It's standing in front of strawberry marshmallows without blending (strawberry marshmallows are background for lemon).
Try it if you like strawberry marshmallows note (Ariana grande Cloud, Moonlight, or Burberry Her)

Cassiano

The concept behind the creation was inspired by the multifaceted woman, the one who is brave, determined and has no strings attached: the modern princess. The ad campaign featured a working spy at night who becomes the sweet wearer of a beautiful red dress (which is the color of the product's packaging).

Modern Princess gave life to a new feminine pillar for Lanvin and features Pink Lady apple and red currant notes at the top; Freesia and jasmine, in the heart; Woody accord, white musk and vanilla orchid (Vanilla Planifolia), in the base.
But before commenting on the fragrance and my assessment, I need to disagree with the concept worked on. For me, the idea of freedom and attitude doesn't fit the woman who needs to disguise herself as sweet and fragile. Quite the contrary, it only reinforces the stereotype that women have struggled for years to get rid of. An empowered woman does not change to fit social standards; she has an attitude at any moment of her day.

Another important point: search for information. Since this perfume was released, numerous reviews have spoken of the use of red apple. However, Modern Princess is built with Pink Lady apple, which belongs to an extremely strict selection of Cripps Pink apples. It has pink hues on a yellow base, is usually crispier and has a dense and firm flesh, with excellent flavor.
The perfumer himself, during press conferences, said: "They are crunchier than red apples and their fruity and delicately sweet taste was captured by Firmenich's unique technology."

On the skin, Modern Princess EDP gives a bath of juiciness and synesthesia, as the red color comes first to mind. The sweet acidity of the red currant (fruitier than black) matched the apple note perfectly. But the sensuality of the fragrance is in the heart, because a special jasmine extract called Jasmine Petal Firnat was used, which can get as close as possible to the natural scent of a jasmine flower still stuck in its stem. This brings a more carnal facet, creating contrast with the more innocent content of the beginning. To close, a silky hint of musk adds durability to the fragrance, which receives a vanilla-effect brush stroke.

Until this point, Modern Princess satisfies those who like apple-scented perfumes. The problem, however, is the heavy - and unnecessary - softness that has turned an interesting fragrance into something boring, very discreet and without personality. But the lasting, although much criticized by several users, was not something that disappointed me.

The bottle was created by Carré Basset and has the silhouette of a modern dress, belted with a chain, one of the symbols of the brand. It's perfect for today's Snow Whites.

yayimah

This is a funny perfume. For about 15 minutes, I could not smell it at all. Then I got this beautiful apple scent. It's more like apple cider, the real juice!! wow! It's very similar to See by Chloe, which I adore.

eaudesommelier

This is almost not perfume, more like a hair-spray-ish suggestion of perfume... an antiseptic body mist. In other words: it is poorly balanced with high alcohol, though I notice that's abating a little bit as I get some air in bottle; maybe the juice needs to "cure" a bit.

I, a woman in my late 30s, bought this because it was about 25 bucks for a big, pretty bottle on fragrancenet, and I really wanted something minimalist but with a juicy red apple (not green apple) note. Byredo pulp was not in my budget, and while green apple abounds in the notes library, red apple seemed a little more rare as the main accord.

So. This potentially insipid little frag was an experiment I was willing to make for a cost-effective cider house vibe. Worst case scenario it ends up an object d'art on my dresser.

I got pretty much what I expected, but not quite. The prominence of the red apple note is somewhat temperamental: I usually get more of the red currant tones when the perfume opens. Due to the alcohol factor - you have to be very mindful of holding this at a good distance when you spray. If you get too dense a plop of fluid you'll smell a fleeting hint of the red fruit, then just alcohol. Like over-spiked, cheap sangria... Like someone at the sorority party thought dousing the last of the sugary red wine punch with super cheap vodka was a good idea to make it last longer.

If you distance appropriately, and get a puffy, cloudy spray settling around you, you'll get a flash of the pink lady apple and it will very quickly, for me anyway, transition into a marshmallow-y musk with a bit of red-skinned fruit laid over it.

In fact, mackintosh apple and pink marshmallow are basically the only sustained things I get from this perfume - aside from the rubbing alcohol, or an instant flash of peppery currant at the opening.

Reading the ad copy on this, and about the jasmine extract specifically, is fairly laughable. Really not getting any floral at all, much less any distinctive jasmine.

Know what you're paying for with this. I wanted an unfussy, juicy red apple scent for fall. I got a mackintosh marshmallow with potential vodka hiccups. I'm okay with that for the price, especially since I'm having a marshmallow kind of moment with my frags.

The dry down on this is straight-up red kool aid drink mix powder. Seriously.

The bottle is beautiful though, the atomizer is fine, and I can see myself using it for Alien refills(I hate looking that bottle). If I can find a way to get the atomizer cap on and off.

msudersin

This opens up and reminds me a bit of Black XS, must be the berries. Not as complex as Black XS, very safe and generic and a good buy if you’re in high school and looking for something sweet to wear over weekends. Got a sample vial and would definitely not buy a full bottle

vanillacarnation

The name of this fragrance should be "Playful princess" instead of "Modern" one cause there is no note remind me of modern.

Opening is very loud with apple and red currant, like shouting at perfumer as "Look at me, im begining" ,so impressing, so energetic, so goooood

But only after few mins, that loud smells are just disappeard and leave a soft smell of a bit musky - a bit red currant stay instead. Fruity sweet but so so soft.

I do love the opening smell more than the smell that will stay.

The longevity and sillage are so bad.
I need to use it every 2 hrs and another people will notice it only when they hug you.

This one is suitable for younger woman less than 30 yrs old.
but at 30 now, I still use it because its top note really give the feeling of "Happy day, Happy me, Love myself"

I use it even in my lazy boring weekend alone at home, smell it alone and feel happy alone all the time
Yeah this also suitable for your "depress" day when you need something to cheer you up

ramanshweta

The fragrance is very very fresh and refreshing.

But not a very good performer when it comes to sillage and logetivity. Hardly lasts for a few minutes.

just28

Just ok. A little bit too generic and that says a lot from me, I don't like very complex over the top perfumes anyway, lol. This one is pleasant, feminine, maybe more girly than womanly, but too much like a good shampoo scent than an actual perfume scent to me. On the other hand you can't really go wrong with it, you can just probably find something just a bit better.

raiza1990

Fresh, sweet, soft. The name is really appropriate, this fragrance is for a romantic and feminine girl. The dominant note on my skin is the juicy, appetizing apple, but i can also smell the vanilla orchid very well.
This perfume is not really original, but it is well blended and has enough character to be someone‘s signature. I wouldn‘t buy it for me, but wouln‘t mind wearing it if i got it as a gift. I think it is a good choice for girly girls who don’t like overly sweet or overly fresh fragrances.

noy815

Well, to me it smells like sour candy. Not sure how I feel about it... It's a fun perfume, though maybe not as suitable if you're older than 22.

Jmalone84

Fruity,sour, fresh. Pretty and light. Reminds me a touch of e'clat d'arpege in the opening. Too similar to DKNY delicious line and other cheap fruities though. More for a teenager/very young woman.

Sillage and projection pretty soft. A bit much to start with. I like this. Feel the EDT stands out and projects a bit more. The EDT is more mature and as such I probably prefer that.

Raggagirl1

I was looking for a new perfune im usually a gourmand lover so stay away from perfumes like this but..i though i would have a smell as it was new and i was very plesently surprised! It has something in it that makes me keep sniffing it, i wanted something different and i got it, its simple but delicious i have been commented on it already and ive only been wearing it for 1 hour, i dont know about it smelling like other perfumes as when i try out new ones either musk or floral stand out on my skin wich im not a fan of personally so this is nice. First sparay is like a pop of red apple with a gentle floral and as it warms and develops the vanilla just turns everything creamy and soft with that hint oc tartness to keep ot from being sickly sweet. I like it :-)

piahellgren

Hysterical. I see this being reviewed and before I click on the review I say to myself that the first main accord will be fruity. And the name. Seriously. That's all.

Jansu

I love the apple-redcurrant combo, could be one of the best spring scents I own BUT longevity is nonexistant:(

artificiosa

Hmmm... how to put this straight...


BORING!

PricklyAndHot

Uninteresting fruity floral. All these notes sound not catchy and childish. Maybe it's really for young princesses.

Taxidermy

Love at first sniff! It smells like a fig-less version of Byredo Pulp. Such an addictive, mouthwatering floral fruity. I had to have it despite its silly name (which might not sound so silly if you are very young).

nitschevo

This one is soooo nice. Tested this last week while browsing the duty free shelves. The opening combination of apple and red currant comes across as a very realistic, freshly picked strawberry with a little leaf attached. While it dries down the flowers become more present and the dry down is a little woody and musky with a hint of the mentioned strawberry. It's not overtly young, nor very sweet. A great scent for young princesses or anyone who loves a soft & fresh scent. Very refreshing to see something else on the market aside of the uber sweet patchouli bombs or so called niche perfumes (a label a lot of perfumes/houses start to claim).

Soofiya

I was surprised to see lanvin modern princess in a local perfume shop because I even didn't know that it exists.it's gorgeous bottle caught my eyes and I sprayed it on my wrist and loved it!simple as that!
I knew most perfumistas will see it as another silly fruityfloral nonsense.I won't completely disagree because there's nothing earth shattering here.it reminds me many other perfumes but I can't put my finger on a specific one.I know that it's not unique but this isn't an important case when I like how a perfume smells on my skin
When I first sprayed it I knew nothing about it's notes.apple and red curruent are easy to detect in most perfumes but they were not what came to my mind at first sniff.I thought berries,like the berries in viva la juicy noir,or probably raspberry and some other mouth waterlingly delicious fruits,vanilla and a hint of strawberry milkshake!
Modern princess is sweet but not heavily sugary or syrupy sweet.it has a little amount of lovely fruity tartness but not that one can consider it a sour scent.it's delicious but in a fruity way.flowers stay light and soft and blend very well with other notes.musk and woody notes are even softer.the vanilla that I can feel in it,isnt too much and overpowering.it's just there to ground slightly tarte fruits in a soft sweet milky cream. though it's a sweet scent,it has some sort of fresh and clean vibe.I believe it's very aptly named.it's definitely modern and suits a pretty,girly princess but not that it's not wearable by an adult lady.it can make a nice daily perfume also good for a girls day out,even a date.it's also wearable year round except winters
For me it's not a red scent.it's colorful,like the mix of red and different shades of pink
Longevity was acceptable,moderate on my skin but I can't talk about it's sillage yet.it doesn't seem strong but is definitely noticable.I believe it can be a great gift for a young lady or anyone who likes modern fruityflorals.
I'm definitely going to buy it if I find a good deal.however I like it and I see it a well done fruity floral,I can't justify to pay more than 40$ for it

This one is fresh, sweet, soapy and young. It has small sharp side-effect, maybe because of red currant. Base is soft, powdery ang lightly woody. Remains me a little bit of Jeanne Arthes's Lover fragrance.
Quite a light sillage, sadly fade away quickly and leaves on the skin only a hint of powdery and fruity smell.
Safe choice for everyday use, doesn't irritate easily. Modern princess is quite nice, (even though nothing really special) but because of poor longevity, I can't recommend it.

Le nom n'est franchement pas terrible " Modern Princess ". Pour être moderne, il est moderne : semblable à ses contemporains, sans personnalité, sans conviction, l'essence même de la banalité, noyé dans l'immense marché des floraux-fruités pour très jeunes filles. La maison Lanvin a perdu son âme sans pour autant la vendre au diable qui, probablement nous proposerait des créations " sulfureuses " au goût de " Scandal " !

Not great. They tried too hard with this one. It's sweet and fruity but it's so... SHARP. Like the fruit cuts your nose off and makes you smell it. It doesn't wear well. It would be better suited to a bathroom spray or fabric febreeze.

I tried it today and it immediately reminded me of Joop All About Eve, apple and cinnamon, pretty scent.

Truly joyful apple bubblegum scent. Simple but lovely. Subtle so good for almost every kind of weather and occasion. The bottle is an absolute beauty.

Update: it's very fruity and quite sweet, but it's not that kind of syrupy, heavy sweetness. It reminds me of summers of my childhood at my grandma's - lots of apples, lots of red currants.

The scent is very fruity, lots of berries and red apples. It seems to have a good sillage and longevity, at least it fills my room.
I know it's no modern classic, but I wouldn't be so critical about it, because the scent is good.
Simple and a bit generic indeed, but not bad smelling or offensive.
It could make a good everyday fragrance. A fresh and a bit tart.
I haven't tried the classics from Lanvin, there's nowhere to try them, but this is what's modern right now and so it just is.

Everything's gone wrong with Lanvin since departure of Alber Elbaz. Well deserved lowest shelf even at duty free stores. Modern drama.

CoffeeCup

Is this a marketing experiment rather than perfumery one? See by Chloe + with Modern Muse + influences from the house of Herrera... et voila? Disgrace.

Momo Tse

I think it's a young version of Burberry for women.

Southern Blonde

This is a sweet pretty perfume. I was drawn to it. It smells of apples, freesia jasmine and woods. It was unfortunate they discontinued it but I guess it wasn't popular enough. At times it did get pretty boring and smelled mostly of pure freesia but I happen to love freesia. I also love apple scents. Fruity floral and girly. The name Modern Princess was cool as I like to think of myself as a modern princess. Not bad just not for the ages.

trop hâte de le sentir !!

Poor Lanvin, you'll soon be sold in supermarkets.
This fragrance hasn't got Lanvin spirit at all, it's a generic fragrance for "a globalized consumer".
It should at least have a French name. Even brands from abroad give a French name to their fragrances to have a luxury cachet.
Well, they cannot have Kendall, so it's not Modern Muse, it's Modern Princess, lol

COSMICSCENTS

Lovely bottle! I think is going to smell great!:)
