Description of the composition

Composition of Miss Arpels

The note pyramid of Miss Arpels begins with a refreshing start, where basil, lemon, melon, peach and green chord create a playful and juicy openness, instantly lifting the mood.

In the heart of the fragrance, elegant floral notes unfold: freesia, magnolia, peony, jasmine and lily, which add tenderness, depth and femininity, smoothly flowing from the initial chord.

The base of the composition is anchored by warm and cozy chords: oakmoss, sandalwood, vanilla and musk, ensuring longevity and a soft finish that gently envelops the skin.

This balance between fruity freshness, floral richness, and woody-musky foundation makes Miss Arpels a harmonious and memorable fragrance that gradually unfolds on the skin, offering different perceptions throughout the day—from an invigorating morning to a peaceful evening.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
