Arpège (pronounced [aʁpɛʒ]) is a 1927 perfume created by perfumers André Fraysse and Paul Vacher for Jeanne Lanvin and presented to her musician daughter Marie-Blanche on her 30th birthday. [2] [3] Its name is a derivation of the musical term arpeggio. [2] Arpège is considered among the world's classic perfumes. [2]
The fragrance has been referred to as the "fragrance of 1,000 flowers" and it contains some 60 floral essences. [3] Like Chanel No.5, launched six years earlier, it is considered an aldehydic floral perfume. [4] [5]
The original black bottle with a gold top was decorated with a gold illustration of Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter, created by French fashion illustrator Iribe. [2]
In 1993, the perfume was reformulated by Hubert Fraysse, brother of André and founder of fragrance manufacturer Synarome. [6] [7]
A special edition minaudière (evening bag) was launched in 2013 to mark the 85th anniversary of the perfume. [3]
