What does Arpège (1993) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, with summer a small minority. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and less towards daily or office wear. Most voters call it feminine and classic.

It opens bright with aldehydes, bergamot, neroli, peach and honeysuckle. The heart is a floral blend of jasmine, rose, iris and ylang-ylang. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and amber take over, leaving a spicy, oriental, faintly animalic warmth. Lanvin Arpège (1975) and Emanuel Ungaro Diva have a close profile.
