Brought together by our mutual friend and fashion photographer, Franco Lacosta, her posts will be featured each month bringing us her insights on beauty from products to fabulous tips! Last time, Valerie talked about the Rochas on the rocks! Today she lets us in on Women in Love.

There is some perfumes as master piece of art : a perfect balance between warmth and freshness, revealing a brightness that makes us fall in love for eternity.

What is the secret of its beautiful scent? Antoine Maisondieu, compositor of the fragrance, upgrade the formula with the best extract of white roses, freesia, jasmine, bitter orange, peach, cedar and musk… Deeply feminine, the juice adorns itself with the notes of the skin of the one who wears it, so exciting !

Marry me! The name of the new Lanvin perfume has a audacious character, and the story it leaves in its trail looks like a dream that we are all waiting for. We want it now ! (but we will have to wait until September…)

Why do I love it ? Not only for its design, its couture knot pap in pink satin or its attractive advertising which reminds me the spring, but for its gorgeous bouquet of delicate flowers, fresh fruit and precious woods.

Hymne à la joie* , here is the perfume of the happy days.
