Where lesser floral compositions hedge, Lanvin Arpege Perfume commits completely, aldehydes, lily of the valley, peach, honeysuckle, neroli and bergamot giving the top the bright, soapy sparkle that defined an entire era of perfumery. Jasmine, ylang ylang, lily of the valley, iris, coriander, rose, lily, geranium and camellia gather into a floral core of remarkable density and balance. Sandalwood, amber, vetiver, musk, benzoin, vanilla and patchouli close it in warm, powdery depth. The blending is close enough that individual notes dissolve into a single luminous impression rather than announcing themselves in turn. Arpege Perfume is a floral Eau de Parfum for spring and summer daytime hours, nothing complicated about it.
