Which Should You Buy?
Arpège is an old-school stunner. It's divisive, but fans adore its complex, aldehydic embrace, often preferring it over its more famous, pricier cousin. Not for the faint of heart, it demands confidence and rewards with timeless elegance.
A divisive classic, Chloé's original is a potent hit of vintage glamour. Some adore its heady white floral and aldehyde punch, calling it sophisticated and timeless, while others find its strength and 'old-school' vibe utterly overwhelming or dated. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Occasions
Given its 'monster sillage' and 'lasts for days' longevity, this fragrance is best applied sparingly for the office. Its rich, elegant floral character and warm drydown make it ideal for dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for spring casual wear.
