We finally got our hands on the new(ish) exclusive launch from the House of Carven: Carven Le Parfum, created by one of our favorite perfumers Francis Kurkdjian. Simplicity, freshness, charm and a couture spirit in a fragrance to exude the incredible energy of the fashion of Guillaume Henry, the talented artistic director who brought back to life the House of Carven. The fresh floral fragrance has the essence of a floral bouquet built around a hint of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang, touched with a whiff of Sweet Pea, in a subtle salute to one of the emblematic codes of Carven. It settles on you skin with sensual woody notes of white sandalwood and a precious wood harmony creating a lingering silage of rare purity. The simple elegance of the fragrance bottle was also a welcomed addition to my vanity.
As the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian quotes, “The Carven woman has an intuitive sense for what’s chic: she’s Parisian, sparkling, bold and impertinent; she leaves no one indifferent. She’s beautiful without even thinking about it.”
Carven Le Parfum is available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue. The Eau de Parfum is available two sizes: 50mL ($84), and 100mL ($109). Additionally the fragrance is available in a bath and shower gel ($37), body milk ($49), and deodorant natural spray ($37). Learn more at saksfifthavenue.com
