I’m not a fan of flower-infused scents ‘coz most of the time they stifle me to death. Most perfumes are so overpowering, they smell like Baygon to me.
But, Lanvin Eclat D’ Arpege is a way different.
Amidst having a hard time pronouncing this sumptuous scent from the house of Lanvin (pronounced as “Lan-van” just like Clarins), I mustered my dire hesitation on road-testing this scent and asked the saleslady to try it on me. So, she sprayed twice on my wrist where the pulse point is located. I am not sure why perfumes must be sprayed on pulse points, but maybe because those points hold the scent longer and make it linger more throughout the day. Going back, I tried taking a few sniffs. I was immediately in love with the scent the first try!
The scent is not overpowering at all, so my sensitive nose can have a rest. It has a light yet sophisticated floral scent that’s perfect for women of all ages. The blend of various floral concoctions really does have a perfect outcome—something that I don’t expect! To top it off, its lovely plum orb decanter with a gold Lanvin insignia and a luxurious atomizer embellished with gold rings (similar that of a light bulb) graces my eyes as if it delivers some statement—a statement to stand out.
I recommend this for those who want to have an everyday pick-me-up scent to amp up their already-polished wardrobe. I assume that even those with delicate tastes will fall for this posh potion.
