Lanvin Arpège is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1927, created by André Fraysse and Paul Vacher. Arpège opens with Bergamot, Neroli, Lily of the Valley, and Honeysuckle, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Lanvin's Arpège carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its deep, complex aldehydic and woody accords, adored by many for formal and date settings, can be a bit much for a casual office. Reviews highlight its formal appeal, making it less suitable for everyday wear or active settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It bursts forth with bright, sparkling aldehydes, softened by a touch of sunny peach and delicate lily of the valley. This soon deepens into a rich, powdery floral heart of jasmine, iris, and rose, with a surprising hint of spicy coriander. The dry down is a warm, woody embrace of sandalwood, vetiver, and amber, leaving a lingering, luxurious trail.
