Lanvin Arpege, from the 1930s to the 1960s – likely the 1950s.
The cap twists off. It’s about half-full. Very hard to find version of Arpege!
Bottom reads:
“Lanvin Parfums Inc.
Arpege Eau de Lanvin
1 ⅓ fl oz
New York. Dist.”
It smells absolutely stunning!
Launched in 1927, Lanvin Arpège – named after the musical term “arpeggio”- features notes played in sequence, not all at once. This version comes in a screw-top glass bottle housed in a gold-tone metal case, engraved with the iconic Mother and Child Art Deco design by Armand-Albert Rateau, crafted by Verrières Brosse. Composed of over 60 natural ingredients, it’s a floral aldehyde fragrance designed for women.
