Arpege
My winter fragrance
I apply Arpege after my shower on different pulse points. Its fragrance has undertones of sandalwood for which I have a real affinity. I first smelled Arpege in the 1960s when my father gifted a bottle of the parfum to my mother for their anniversary...I was hooked and always in trouble for filching a dab. I am so thrilled to be able to continue to purchase Arpege from FragranceX.

This Arpege smells NOTHING like what I bought years ago. It is almost putrid. I ordered Ombré Rose, which I have yet to receive weeks later, and do not look forward to receiving it giving my experience with Arpege.

Old School Scent
This is a fragrance from another time. 1927 to be exact. Starts out with a grand display of florals that remind some of °5 or L'air du temp but ends with a heavy dry vetiver musk combo that smells awful, at least on me. Nice black orb bottle, cheap cap. Popular in the 50's, I imagine, with that 'Lady Boss' style of femininity.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Beautiful vintage floral
Aprege is a beautiful aldehydic floral fragrance that smells like another era. If you love vintage fragrances like I do this is a must have. It starts off w/ aldehydes, but they are not screechy, they are bright and sparkling. Like a crisp white shirt. But as the fragrances develops it becomes a beautiful floral w/ roses, ylang, ylang, jasmine, Camilla. Pink, white and yellow flowers. Bouquets of flowers. As it dry's down Aprege becomes softly spicy w/ coriander and other soft spices that combine w/ the last of the flowers. Aprege was created in the 20's so if you are all about fruity/florals or gourmand fragrances you will not like this but if you like fragrances like Jean Patou Joy or Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds you will like Aprege as well.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I use this product just about every day. I get compliments all the time. To me, it's like a warm hug and it lasts quite a while after application. I find that most scednts change on me - not in a good way. It's just my chemical make-up, I guess. But Arpege never changes. I just love it. I have been buyig it for years and will continue to do so. Your prices are very good, I think. I order it online and it always arrives in good condition.

Just overpowering
This is very heavy for my taste. Smells exactly like pressed powder. The opening is very strong. I only spray it below my waistline because it triggers headache and nausea if i spray at the bak of my ear or neck. Be cautious! Just 1 or 2 sprays. The only good thing about this fragrance is price and longevity. But smellwise, not a fan.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Different smell when it is "young"
Arpege has a different smell when it is "young" than when it is older and more aged. When it is "young" it smells more green and powdery, but when it ages, the color deepens and it becomes more floral or spicy and woody in nature. I know this because my mom had an older bottle of Arpege she had bought or received as a gift in the '60's in a tall, fluted glass bottle where you could unscrew the sprayer on top, and this older Arpege smelled much more mellow and sexy than brand new Arpege in a hermetically sealed spray bottle today. The only way I could think of to accelerate the aging process of a "young" bottle of Arpege would be to put it in a window sill that gets morning sunlight for a certain period of time during the warmer weather. That may do the job of aging your Arpege and making it more mellow and sexy like my mother's old bottle of Arpege was when I was growing up.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Powdery
This is an okay scent for me. My daughter says I smell like an 'old lady' when I put it on. It's a powdery musky scent. It's a little strong once sprayed on but does blend into my skin after a while and is much gentler. I bought two bottles.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Yes similar to Chanel No. 5
I purchase this fragrance to compare with my Chanel No.5 EDP since many said they are alike. To my nose yes they are! But, aldehyde in Arpege is more potent. If you like Chanel No.5 and want to get a cheaper version, buy Arpege!. FragranceX offers the best price so far.Thanks

Chanel said " a women without a scent leaves no memory". The
Chanel said "a woman without a scent leaves no memory". As scent is a very long memory, I am completely disappointed in the Arpege Eau de Parfum I ordered from you. It bears NO semblance of what my Mother wore. My memory of her in her lavender silk taffeta ball gowns kissing me goodnight before she left for a gala is deeply imbedded in my mind and nose. There must be a change in the mixture and formula. What I received IS AWFUL and bears NO SEMBLANCE to this deep memory imbedded in me. I am extremely disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
