Eclat D'Arpege Eau de Parfum Spray

Product Information

Yesterday I did a side by side test of my new-ish bottle and an old mini that has been in my drawer for ages, and they do smell quite different. So if you can imagine a perfume scent that opens like Victoria's Secret BOMBSHELL and dries down to a lighter version of COUNTRY CHIC, that is what Eclat d'Arpege smells like to me. I couldn't stop sniffing my wrists after I put this on for the first time, it just smells - beautiful! From my side, I can add that I chose the fragrance online and I didn't have a tester, so I took a risk and. Finally, the base of the pyramid is composed by more sensual and slightly wood notes as musk, amber and cedar Lebanon.

I've had men come up to me just to tell me I smell good, and have also had friends say how nice I smell when I hug them. It doesn't get powdery, but the impression I have is that if it matured for a few more hours, we would have a much more powdery base. These are different, but there is a similar feel, only Body EDP is more chypre forward in the opening and has a more powerful performance overall, rather than the lush, float-y quality of EdA. Sadly, I can't smell any lilac - one of my favorite flowers - but the peony and peach blossom are there, dancing with the green notes. The purple juice and potion-shaped bottle are quite alluring as well, and contribute greatly to Eclat d'Arepege's overall theme of a whimsical fairytale fragrance.There are those days when you just want to feel pretty lol (not exactly unique or hot), and for that, this fragrance has an important place in my collection and I look for it on those days. Interestingly however, the dry down of Eclat d'Arpege reminds me of a lighter version of Bath and Body Works COUNTRY CHIC.

I think I probably already reviewed this years ago but would like to add now that as far as I can tell, this indeed has been reformulated as some posters have suggested.Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Created with notes of peach, neroli, bergamot, vanilla and vetiver, it’s a floral yet woody fragrance. I really don't feel it at first and was disappointed, BUT then someone told me that it means it's 100% my scent because it stays on clothes even after a couple of days, but on myself, it disappears after just 10 minutes of spraying!
