In-Depth Summary
Arpège was created for Lanvin in 1927 by perfumers André Fraysse and Paul Vacher, and named by Jeanne Lanvin as a gift for her daughter Marie-Blanche on her thirtieth birthday. The name — French for arpeggio — reflects the musical layering of the composition, and the iconic black sphere bottle with its gold bas-relief of mother and daughter remains one of the most recognizable in fragrance history.
Fraysse and Vacher built the fragrance around a peach-led floral accord enriched by ambrein, the primary aromatic molecule of ambergris, giving Arpège its characteristic warmth and sensuality.
This perfumed bath oil is a rare companion piece from the original Arpège collection — a luxurious way to layer the scent and extend its presence on the skin. At approximately 80% full in the original formulation, it is a meaningful find for collectors building a complete Arpège set.
