Éclat d'Arpège
Lanvin (2002)

On me, this is crisp, lightly floral, a little bit green, a little bit sweetish (but in a floral way, not in a candy way), and overall delightful. This has been one of my favourites for years, and it's one of the few perfumes where I've used an entire bottle and had to buy another.

This is a subtle perfume, not a big floral bomb or a fruit cocktail. Gorgeous bottle and box, too. As long as they keep making this, I'll keep wearing it.

I agree with chezlulu. The scent dissipates on my skin. Nice for an hour and it's gone, especially when it's hot and humid.

Initially, as many have said, Éclat d'Arpège reminds me of D&G Light Blue, yet more refined and floral. Atlas I live in a warmer climate, and it becomes way too subtle. On my skin, the projection and longevity are abysmally minimal. I would have loved it as a summer fragrance, had I been able to smell it on myself after half an hour.

I purchased (blind) Éclat d'Arpège today. My immediate impression is that it reminds me of Bulgari Omnia Crystalline. It's a really lovely pale slightly milky(?) subtle woody floral that I will continue to enjoy wearing. I love it when a random purchase lands me a jewel.

Great, great scent. It's light, but sooo sexy. I wish similar fragrance for man. If I won't find, will start with woman's version. Love it!

Eclat d'Arpege is a really delicate fruity floral. I'm not usually a fruity floral girl, however I am impressed with this fragrance.

A little crisp, but mostly soapy and clean, Eclat d'Arpege won't attack you with any sharp citrus notes. It is perfectly balanced with the fruits and flowers coming together in harmony.

It is somewhat similar to D&G Light Blue, just without the strong lemon opening and the cedary, pencil shaving drydown. I prefer Eclat d'Arpege over Light Blue any day.

The fragrance has a slight aquatic feel in the opening, however towards the drydown the powdery woodsy notes deplete this sense of watery freshness.

Unfortunately this fragrance doesn't last very long, however I often find that this is the case with most fruity florals that are on the softer side. Despite the poor lasting strength I still recommend Eclat d'Arpege as a nice choice for Summer for those that want something simple and pretty.
