Bottles:


The perfume was housed inside of the Sevres porcelain boule flacons. They were made to order and contained extracts of Lanvin's leading perfumes - Lajea, La Dogaresse, My Sin, Le Chypre, Comme Ci Comme Ca, J'En Raffole and later, the most famous of all, Arpege.

First presented in the Baccarat clear crystal flacon. Then sold in the Boule flacon, most notably the gilded version.
