Thank you for your review. I ordered a large bottle of Arpege a few minutes ago. I haven’t smelled it for years and am looking forward to receiving it. I used to wear it in my 20’s and 30’s and I am looking forward to wearing it in my 70’s. I think I will like it more now in my old age. I have collected all kinds of perfumes in the last couple of years to bring the past into my life. I think I spent a thousand dollars for them and I enjoy the perfumes and learn from books and You Tube reviewers about the notes, the creators of the fragrances and the art of perfumery. I like the vintage scents the best. Arpege might become my Signature scent. It was one of my favorite in my younger years and I might get to know and like it better in my Autumn years. Take Care.
I've smelled both and they are similar. The original is fairly close to No 5 and is major heavy on the aldehydes. The newer one is heavier on the jasmine and smells a bit lusher. The drydown on the original is quite animalic too and the newer one isn't. They are both excellent.
I fell in love with Arpege in the 1980s - I am not a fan of the reformulation from the 90s... I think the Vintage Arpege is actually what was still being sold in the 1980s.
Madame Lanvin’s daughter was a pianist, not a violinist. This video was only made as a sales pitch and offers superficial and erroneous information about this great fragrance. Shame.

Has Arpège become your new signature or do you regret your purchase?
I’m a 23 year old male. I just bought the day de parfum, I think it’ll be my signature along with aromatics elixir by Clinique.
I adore Arpège edp! It’s so beautiful.

Love the original and My Sin too have not tested the reformulation but the originals are fantastic.
Thanks Lanier.. I haven't ready he perfume daddy's review but will try to get my hands on a copy.

That was really lovely. Have you read The Perfumed Dandy's review of Arpege? A really very interesting take on this beauty.
Thank you so much for this review!!
If an englishman says arpege is bretty .. then ill go for it
They have testers of this on eBay for less than $20 the only difference is it does not have a cap on it.
Great video!!
Great review!
Thanks guys! Keep watching..
Nice

I bought this it's awful. There's a fecal note. Not for me. Jeanne was an amazing woman but I don't like this scent.
