In-Depth Summary:
André Fraysse created Prétexte for Lanvin in 1937. Its ambery floral composition moves from aldehydes, bergamot and narcissus into rose, carnation, hay and iris, then deepens through leather, woods, oakmoss and animalic notes. Wartime conditions interrupted its early availability before a postwar return.
This offering is the 28-gram French Prétexte Hair Perfume bottle shown, originally sold exclusively through salons and containing the original formulation.
