Lanvin's Arpege Pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Its sweet, powdery, and warm accords make it ideal for cooler weather and romantic settings. While some find it suitable for the office, its strong projection could be overpowering in professional environments, hence the medium-low office score.

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.

About

Arpege Pour Homme opens with a subtle spark of bitter orange and pink pepper before quickly settling into its powdery heart. Dominant iris, softened by jasmine and a hint of nutmeg, creates a smooth, almost fluffy sensation. The base of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli, and sandalwood provides a warm, sweet, and lingering embrace, preventing the powder from becoming chalky.
