Arpege by Lanvin is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. Arpege was launched in 1927. Arpege was created by Paul Vacher and Andre Fraysse. Top notes are Aldehydes, Lily-of-the-Valley, Peach, Honeysuckle, Neroli and Bergamot; middle notes are Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Lily-of-the-Valley, iris, Coriander, Rose, Lily, Geranium and Camellia; base notes are Sandalwood, Amber, Vetiver, Musk, Benzoin, Vanilla and Patchouli.
The name was chosen by the daughter of the perfumer. Since she had been involved into music she chose name “Arpege”, i.e. music term arpeggio. The original 1927 formula incredibly corresponded to its musical term - the notes of perfume play their theme alternately.
