Arpège (pronounced [aʁpɛʒ]) is a 1927 perfume created by perfumers André Fraysse and Paul Vacher for Jeanne Lanvin and presented to her musician daughter Marie-Blanche on her 30th birthday.
[3] Like Chanel No.5, launched six years earlier, it is considered an aldehydic floral perfume.
[4][5] The original black bottle with a gold top was decorated with a gold illustration of Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter, created by French fashion illustrator Iribe.
[2] In 1993, the perfume was reformulated by Hubert Fraysse, brother of André and founder of fragrance manufacturer Synarome.
[6][7] A special edition minaudière (evening bag) was launched in 2013 to mark the 85th anniversary of the perfume.
