Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

The world first encountered Eau Arpège by Lanvin in 1927. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the spicy and floral families. Created by the skilled hands of Paul Vacher and Andre Fraysse. The fragrance belongs to the Arpege collection. Available as eau de toilette.
Produced in France, and you can feel it in every note. Eau Arpège Lanvin unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Eau Arpège unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Lanvin comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a inspiring floral mood: Floral Notes and Spices. Here 2 notes work as one integrated frame, forming romantic softness that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Floral and Spicy without random overlap. The profile is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Floral, Spicy and Whiteflower. At family level the scent maps to Floral and Spicy.
Taken together Eau Arpège holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
