Lanvin Arpège Eau de Parfum

Product Information

It's fair to say that Arpège and No5 are quite similar, but Arpège is lighter and more creamy, less pink and lush. And there is another, more important difference. Where No5 is a chord, a seamless blend from top to bottom, Arpège is - literally, an arpeggio of single notes. The essential harmony of the floral heart notes comes from the finest essences of camellia, iris, jasmine, Bulgarian rose and ylang ylang perfectly balanced with coriander. these terms and conditions in full. If you disagree with any part of these terms and conditions, do I have a small dab bottle of early 1990s vintage – so the aldehydic top has lost its solar sparkle and undergone megawarp. But the rest has matured beautifully and remains splendid. Groom, Nigel (1997). The New Perfume Handbook. Springer Science & Business Media. p.321. ISBN 0751404039 . Retrieved 10 July 2014.

Arpege was created by perfumer Andreé Fraysse and takes the name from the arpeggio, the notes of a chord played in rapid succession.In 1993, the perfume was reformulated by Hubert Fraysse, brother of André and founder of fragrance manufacturer Synarome.

Arpège ( pronounced [aʁpɛʒ]) is a 1927 perfume created by perfumers André Fraysse and Paul Vacher for Jeanne Lanvin and presented to her musician daughter Marie-Blanche on her 30th birthday. [2] [3] Its name is a derivation of the musical term arpeggio. [2] Arpège is considered among the world's classic perfumes. [2] Composition [ edit ]

Arpege has an effulgent, coriander-laced jasmine, gleaming white heat, almost phosphorescent, with an antique rose and stealth peachy, lactonic undertone. One could argue that this would be a rather mature selection, particularly for women, but we might want to examine what it means to be "mature" enough to wear a fragrance. Luca Turin, the opinionated old codger, even argues that this would be dowdy on a woman but marvelous on a man. It does feel marvelous to me at least, and it dries further into its base of vetiver and sandalwood, it seduces me even more so. Lanvin éclat d'arpège eau de parfum 100ml is a true classic when it comes to vintage fragrances. Launched by the French fashion house in 1927 by perfumer André Fraysse, Arpège has aged well and its supple aldehydic floral tones make it suitable for any perfume lover regardless of gender. It opens with an effervescent blend of aldehydes and citrus notes, followed by heart notes of ylang-ylang, rose, iris and jasmine. As it dries down, Arpege becomes warmer with touches of patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and vanilla coming into play to create an over-ripe petal effect. Not too sweet but instead warm and earthy, this truly timeless fragrance is sure to become a staple in any collection. To me that is the genius of Arpege. It's an aldehyde floral, like No.5 and many others, so nothing overly exciting. But vintage Arpege does smell much nicer, more rounded and richer, than a typical aldehyde bomb. You wouldn't get tons of compliments or have men throw themselves at you when you wore Arpege, but you would smell very very good. Also, during the 1950s Arpege was ubiquitous in the USA ("Promise her anything. Give her Arpege.") so I think that ubiquity led to it seeming rather dull. Revlon even did their own version- Primitif. Middle notes: Camelia, Coriander, Iris, Lily, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose, GeraniumA special edition minaudière (evening bag) was launched in 2013 to mark the 85th anniversary of the perfume.

Because she understood how sexy of a scent it is. She has it all: fame, talent, wealth, beauty, a devoted partner, loyal friends, and she is able to convey all kinds of emotions-distate, disdain, anger, self-pity, triumph, scorn-all before she even open her mouth. This fragrance image to me of her. Wearing an animal skin coat and smoking a cigarette from an ivory cigarette holder, more pretentious than class.

It has a balsamic tone and a fizzy texture which is unique to itself. Groves, Ellen (August 25, 2006). "Lanvin adds Rumeur to Fragrance Franchise for Fall". Women's Wear Daily.

Would you gasp if I told you I prefer Lanvin Arpege to Chanel No. 5? Are you clutching your pearls? Well, the truth is out, and I think it has to do with its creamier, woodier heart that follows that radiant flash of aldehydes. Mind you, the bottle I have is from the 90s and cannot consult on more recent opaque bottles, but this particular formulation is impressive. The fragrance has been referred to as the "fragrance of 1,000 flowers" and it contains some 60 floral essences. [3] Like Chanel No.5, launched six years earlier, it is considered an aldehydic floral perfume. [4] [5]

One was Chanel No.5 and the other Arpege. They overwhelmingly preferred Arpege. The next day the same women smelled both perfumes, only this time in their signature bottles. This time No.5 won. Chanel is marketed very well indeed. My mother had a bottle of Arpege sitting on her mirrored perfume tray for years and years. She seemed to cycle through multiple bottles of her favorites, like Joy and L'Air du Temps
