Is Arpège pour Homme still in production?+−
Arpège pour Homme has been discontinued for several years. While it can still be found through specialist retailers and secondary markets, it is no longer part of Lanvin's active catalog.
How does this compare to the original Arpège for women?+−
While they share a name and a sense of classic French elegance, the Pour Homme version introduces citrus top notes and a spicy nutmeg heart that sets it apart. However, both share a notable floral-powdery DNA that makes them feel like part of the same aesthetic family.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Yes, it is highly regarded as a professional scent. Its "soapy" cleanliness and moderate sillage ensure it remains pleasant and unobtrusive in close environments while still smelling expensive and refined.
Does the vanilla and tonka bean make it very sweet?+−
It is sweet, but not in a "candy" or "gourmand" way. The sweetness is tempered by the dryness of sandalwood and the earthiness of patchouli, resulting in a creamy, woody finish rather than a sugary one.
