In the heart there are: rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, coriander, sensitive plant, tuberose, violet, and geranium. Though I know this is not a review, I just thought it was too funny not to pass on to fellow perfumistas who would understand the humor in it and might get a kick out of it too. My husband and I are older people, and he loves Arpège and other classics on me much more than the newer candy/ambroxan concoctions I wear to work. I asked my husband what he thought of Arpège on my wrist, then on my neck, and he said that it was very subtle, almost undetectable, but pleasantly powdery.

Just a hint of curiosity for you: I was watching the famous show “The Nanny” when I heard Fran saying that she prefers Arpege Lanvin to Chanel n. By the time I’m in the middle notes I’m already thinking “What a lovely scent this has turned into”. Edit: Comparing this to Patou's Joy right now and I can see the similarities, but Joy is not a dupe for Arpege. Aperge is like the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum, one must simply visit it, if not dwell in its shadow.Though my dogs are Beagles, I can imagine how grand this scent must have been on a perfectly groomed, very elegant, standard poodle. It's simple: with each passing year, our feelings become more delicate, emotions deeper, and life becomes multidimensional. Lily of the valley and peaches, with a hint of jasmine, and a base of expensive soap and realistic honeysuckle (that reminds me of EL Modern Muse). Colors that this perfume give off to my nose are yellow, pale gold, white, off white, beige, light blue, violet, and lime green.

But at the same time, it is not monotonous, not itchy: it unfolds smoothly and very beautifully with a white floral scent.My experience is valid and many, probably more than you'd expect, will feel the same way or even worse about it. There is a definite powdery and woody quality that for me puts it in the same family as L'Heure Bleue, Shalimar, and Chanel's Coco, but the fragrance of Arpege is not quite as distinctive.

Jeanne Lanvin, was a music lover and her daughter wanted to convey that passion with this perfume, equating the shocking sensation that brings to rest on the skin, with musical delights he gave to his ear. In its awakening, we can highlight the delicate floral smell, rich white flowers combine with the elegance of roses, creating a highly exquisite feeling. it opens with a typical antique musk like any other perfume from it’s era, then it dries down into a powdery, sweet-but-not-sugary sweet, warm vetiver. Of course, it's fantastic at close inspection if you want a hard, chic, shiny metalic floral perfume with an impact like a Talbot-Lago Art Deco touring car.sd alcohol 39-c), bht, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, ci 17200 (red 33), citral, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, limonene, parfum (fragrance).

is more clean, more "simple", more fresh perfume not suitable for winter (at least on my skin) and also more vintage. I'm loving it so much, I didn't realize it'd smell like this tbh, i used to put it on as a test but today I tried it on my arm and left it there, i put a lot on. It doesn't sing for me at all, but it develops into a more coriander-infused white-floral fragrance and after an hour, it's lovely, soft and sandalwood-rich. Floral notes combining jasmine, iris, ylang-ylang and roses provide the base for this classic fragrance with earthy, woody depth from vetiver, musk and sandalwood.And when you get to it's warm, spicy, mysterious heart and base, the sandalwood, musk and amber are positively pulsing and can actually vary from time to time, depending on your mood or whether it is warm or cold outside (or in). This has such a classic perfume smell--it's the strong blast of aldehydes at the front that has you sucking perfume from your teeth for hours. The drydown is a little different and reminds me of a clean body after shower (it's a nice, soft scent, with a slight peachy, even citrus-like undertone.
