Oh, too bad. Give it time. I also perceived it differently at first until I sold it and then ran into it again later. That's when the heart eyes came in! ;-)
You mean it was very soft and subtle for you?
It’s not like that for me; I feel well-scented with one or two sprays at most-not loud, but definitely noticeable.
Oh man, it’s just driving me crazy!!! I know how beautiful it is. But somehow it’s just not for me - which is almost incomprehensible considering my preferences. I know, I know...
Yes, really a shame. Especially since it actually fits my taste: classic DNA with a well-regarded reformulation. Dark aldehydes. Spicy notes. Everything is there. What a pity.
I would really love to as well. And I can't say I haven't tried; I've had the scent for a few years now and make a new attempt at understanding it every few months.
What a shame. I always really liked it (on others). It's actually a foolproof recommendation if you're looking for a classic, strong yet warm scent. Miss Rottenmeier would definitely wear something quite prickly and uptight, but Arpege is certainly not that.
Oh Sebastian, I've had this scent for a few years now and I've tried, tried, and tried again with it. I've avoided rating or describing it because I've always hoped it would finally, please, please, please open up to me. But it just doesn't seem to want to :(.
I also find it hard to love. Have you tried L'Aimant EdP? It’s similar. Maybe you’d like that one. Ultimately, both fragrances have been reformulated multiple times and definitely smelled much better in the past.
Thanks for the tip about L'Aimant. No, I haven't tried it yet, but somehow I've come across the scent before. It was probably recommended to me by someone I trust. Thank you so much, dear Precious.
I sometimes feel like I can't quite live up to the expectations of a fragrance that, based on its notes, is completely in my world... hmm... what a shame.
Yes, it's a shame, really. On the other hand, you always come across little surprises. The pyramid doesn’t fit at all, you don’t really like the fragrance house anyway, and yet the scent turns out to be a hit.
I know. That's why I think the comparison fits quite well; after all, Arpège is one of the good ones. But I just don't like wearing it, which is rare for classic fragrances. Especially not for chypre ones.

It starts off somewhat soapy and harsh. I've been wearing it since around 9 AM, and it's slowly become soft and nice (without turning warm or sweet). I really like it now, but the journey to get here was quite long.
Yeah, eventually I'll find it beautiful for me too. I'm okay with scents that have something in the top notes that bothers me for a moment. But here, the transition to fragrance bliss just takes too long and is too exhausting for me.
That's the sad part: Everything about the scent is right. It fits my preferences as if it were made just for me. I've had it in my collection for years and wear it repeatedly - but we just don't click.
But I notice that I also wear it only rarely.
It’s not like that for me; I feel well-scented with one or two sprays at most-not loud, but definitely noticeable.
