Yes, it’s definitely worth rediscovering scent–at least, I think so! It’s a wonderful way to broaden your senses.

Arpege is a wonderful scent but unfortunately in my area it isn’t available in stores anymore. I first smelled it in 1982 while in France on a mission trip. A woman stood outside her shop and gave me a small sample. I soon returned to buy a bottle. I still have it and you know, it still wafts out a good smell! I wonder what would happen if I applied it? I have been trying to talk myself into wearing perfume. I used to have a “scent” when I was younger. Usually either Opium or Arpege. Then life got busy and I forgot scent. Perhaps it is time to rediscover it.

You are right. They have in on Amazon 1oz for $24. But I already waiting for 8-9 samplers coming from Perfumed Court. May be there I find my HG ))

At least Arpege can be had for a good price at an online discounter. I bought a big bottle, a tester, and I don’t think I paid much over $30 for it, if that.

Let’s out it this way: I found ANOTHER one I love It started worrying me a second I caught myself wandering around the apartment thinking what else I can sell on E-bay to buy another sampler, another decant…(sigh)

I’m glad you found one you love! Don’t apologize about comparing scents–I do it all the time. It’s so much easier to try things side by side and explore them that way.

I just discovered Arpege and I love it.
It reminds me of 31 Rue Cambon. (I’m new to perfume world and I feel the need to compare everything to orient myself).

I really think they hit it out of the park with Arpege’s packaging. I adore both the bottle and the Iribe image of the mother and daughter. And I’m with you 100%–babies need good things to smell!

I have a sample of the original and, to my nose, it is similar to L’Heure Bleu. Yes, it is very different from the new formulation and drier. However, I have recently become hooked on the new Arpege. I love it as a “new mommy” fragrance as it is powdery and milky and just softly sweet (and besides that the image of mother and daughter on the bottle gets to me with my two daughters). It is very comforting and elegant at the same time. wear just a touch in the crook of each arm — I’m old-fashioned. I BELIEVE in mommies wearing scent around their babies. Besides, so many of the baby products are scented anyway. My older girl loved Habanita…

Lots of people were disappointed, that’s for sure. (Although some people like the new Arpege, too!) Arpege was so much more delicate in its original formulation.
