Eclat d’Arpège Notes, Review & Performance

Green lilac, tea leaf, and peach blossom over a clean musk drydown — Karine Dubreuil-Sereni's 2002 launch for Lanvin, a green-floral spring scent that became one of the brand's best-known modern releases. Wears strongest in spring, daytime. Spawned the Gourmandise and Bijou Collector flankers.
