Eclat d'Arpège

It was in 1925 that Jeanne Lanvin entered perfumery with the creation of “Lanvin Parfums”. In 1927, for the 30th birthday of her beloved daughter, Jeanne Lanvin imagined “Arpège”. An exceptional fragrance that became simply legendary. Created 75 years later, “Éclat d’Arpège” is a gentle reinterpretation of the house’s most celebrated success.

The modern variation of Arpège

Created to symbolize Jeanne’s unconditional love for her daughter Marguerite, “Arpège” is the brand’s greatest success. Having become legendary, “Arpège” remains one of the best-selling feminine perfumes in the world. In 2002, however, Lanvin decided to modernize this timeless fragrance, bringing love back to the heart of the 2000s. “Eclat d’Arpège” resembles an olfactory awakening, a contemporary musical composition. “Éclat d’Arpège” sounds like a new score, lively and fresh. Through this fragrance, it resonates like musical notes in the air. “Eclat d’Arpège” is filled with emotion, so laden with history, even as it aims to be lighter and fresher than its predecessor. If “Éclat d’Arpège” is as elegant as its predecessor, Lanvin managed to turn this fragrance into a modernization of the perfect “Arpège”.

Eclat d’Arpège and its fruity floral notes

It was the nose Karine Dubreuil who was chosen to develop the variation on “Arpège”. She decided to stay within the floral family. Yet it includes unprecedented ingredients, such as wisteria. “Éclat d’Arpège” opens on the invigorating freshness of lemon paired with lilac flower. Red peony comes to elevate the heart of “Éclat d’Arpège”. Alongside it, wisteria and the voluptuous peach blossom. The base is more sensual, with the presence of musk, amber and Lebanese cedar. As for the bottle, it echoes the codes of its predecessor. The orb still evokes a sense of wonder, with the engraving still present. This time, the bottle is transparent, revealing its lilac-colored juice. The clasp crowning it all is topped with a white diamond and two metal rings symbolizing the perfect harmony between fashion and perfume.

75 years after the highly legendary “Arpège”, Lanvin decided to bring it a whirlwind of freshness with “Éclat d’Arpège”. As captivating as its predecessor, “Éclat d’Arpège” has been brought up to date, marking a wind of modernity. Fresh, floral and delicately sensual, “Éclat d’Arpège” plunges us back into the world of love and admiration, that of Jeanne Lanvin for her daughter Marguerite.
