J'en Raffole by Lanvin c1925

J'en Raffole by Lanvin: launched in 1925. Created by Madame Marie Zede. The perfume means "I love it:.






The New Yorker, 1926:
"At Saks Fifth Avenue, in you don't already know it, is be found a particularly wide selection of couturier perfumes, from the widely known Chanel things, to the Poirets, the Lanvins, and so on. My particular predilection at present is for Lanvin's J'en Raffole, but this, you must understand, is purely personal."


Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It was classified as a floral fragrance for women. I have no published notes on this composition. I would need a sample to tell you what it smells like.

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.

Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, probably by 1930.
