Petales Froissees(1928)

A crushed-petal floral composition from Andre Fraysse for Lanvin, opening on bergamot before a heart built around a crushed-petal floral accord, closing on musk and woods. Petales Froissees, Crushed Petals, suggests a more textured, bruised-and-fragrant impression than a fresh, unblemished floral bouquet, an unusually sensory and specific conceptual naming for the period. It represents one of Fraysse's smaller releases for Lanvin, arriving the year after his landmark Arpege.
