Arpege is a nice fragrance. But Chanel No.5 is much better!

Arpege is a very oriental rose, jasmine fragrance. Also a very potent scent so I would say two sprays on the neck otherwise it would be overpowering.

I agree with you ladies this a great scent, but unfortuneatley I am a Chanel fan all the way.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! It’s always fun to discover a new “you” through a perfume.

I did end up with a bottle for v-day as well as a few different Guerlain fragrances that brought back memories of my mom from back in the day lol Arpege smells very spicy, fruity and slightly floral. I’ve noticed a little goes along way otherwise it turns sickly sweet a few hours after application if you spray more than two sprays. I love it none the less, and growing to deeply appreciate the classics. All my co workers we’re telling me i smelled so sophisticated, and one of my co-workers told me my scent brought back memories for her because her husband’s mother wore arpege.

I’ve always been a fan of this website and love this arpege review it’s spot on to what it actually smells like. I can’t wait until valentines day I told my boyfriend that’s what I want for my gift lol

Hmm. Of the classics, Caron Narcisse Noir and Lanvin My Sin might suit you, but they are undeniably retro smelling. Vero Profume Rubj is delightfully skanky, yet somehow feminine. Do you like oud? There’s a Montale–Cuir Arabie, I think it’s called–that might meet many of your criteria. This would be a good question for an open thread!

The vintage version of this was discussed on the early october open thread today, as sandalwood perfection. I’ve been eyeing some vintage eau arpege on ebay as the parfum is too pricy right now for me. This in vintage and modern seems like a classic that might be right for me. Less aldehydes, dirty base, and full bodied all sound good. I nearly hang my head in shame, because classics do often seem too mature for me. Perhaps I can be forgiven because I am 25. But I like to feel elegant and put together sometimes. I do like Chamade and Joy, but they both seem like springtime frags to me.

What other classics might you suggest dear lovely Angela, for an aldehyde weary young brunette who loves orientals, incense, androgynous scents and meaty/ skanky white flowers. Thanks in advance doll.

I’ve never smelled Eclat d’Arpege, but I’ll be looking for it now, thanks to your comment.

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