Lanvin's Avant Garde is an amber woody fragrance, an embodiment of sophistication, style, and innovation. Launched in 2011, it's a creation of the renowned perfumer, Shyamala Maisondieu. Its top notes present a spicy mix of pepper, pink pepper, juniper, and bergamot. The heart of the fragrance blooms with beeswax, lavender, cardamom, and nutmeg - an intriguing blend that feels both comforting and exotic. The base notes of tobacco, benzoin, amber and vetiver add a deep, warm finish. Despite being from France's oldest fashion house, Avant Garde is a testament to Lanvin's ability to be bold and forward-thinking. It bears a honeyed tobacco and woods aroma with herbal accents, making it easily unisex. This fragrance, true to its name, is avant-garde in every sense. It's best suited for daytime wear and has a significant sillage, radiating over 6 feet. However, its longevity is considered weak, lasting around 1 to 3 hours.
