Summer’s near , flowers are in full bloom, the scent is more intense, it’s a wisteria blossom that blooms at perfume’s heart, accentuated by lush peach blossom and sensual red peony.

One of my favorite fragrances to smell on a woman. So much better than D&G Light Blue which this one gets compared to. I can't see much similarities. This one is light, clean, comforting and fresh. Wear it for yourself on a hot day and you'll be amased. It smells heavenly. What a relieve to smell something this good in a world full of overly sweet women's fragrances nowadays.

Bought just like trvevil a mini unsniffed. Now I have this mini for a while and finally used it almost up.
It smells to me like peach and a lot of white flowers, very soft and elegant. I like it, but not that much I will reach for it a lot. Unfortunately it also smells to alcohol when I just sprayed it on my skin. Also the scent is not very noticible. I wont repurchase, because there are in my opinion better inoffensive dayfragrances.
Would give it a 7 out of 10 though because of the nice balance between flowers, tea and fruits.

A demure floral that's fresh, bright, and sparkling with a squeeze of lemon. All that springtime and cleanliness has to offer.

Wow, this one really grows on you! When the lady sprayed it on me, I kept thinking "Where is it?" but after a while it started blossoming like a flower. And it kept going!
Very beautiful and well put together, but not my kind of scent.
I found it too floral, and sweet in a way I don't like. Not enought to wear... Something in it I found a little headache inducting, also.
Not for me, but indeed a lovely fragrance. The bottle is beautiful as can be!

I got a sample of eclat d'arpege to try it and I'm really disappointed. it smells just like light blue by D&G, which I dont like. eclat d'arpege is probably a little bit nicer and softer but I still dont like it. there is just too much citrus/apple scent in it

ECLAT D'ARPEGE (edp) opens with marked greenness and seems rather fruity but without being sweet. Unfortunately, the florals hit me as synthetic, with a real chemical tinge, and there is no true development: the scent just fades slowly away.

Aside from the beautiful bottle in which it is enticingly displayed, this violet-colored motley melange bears no resemblance to its namesake, the illustrious ARPEGE. What in the world happened chez Lanvin?

eclat de arpege is a very sexy, subtle scent for women. a balanced fragrance, nothing too strong nor too light. it reminds me of an ex-girlfriend, it's her favorite scent.

Eclat is heavenly. I breathe it in and it's as if it keeps rising and rising like there is no end to it. And I would like to continue breathing and breathing it all in if not for my human limitations.

First, I was searching for lilac notes, found this perfume and placed it into the Select for Test group. Then we played a wonderful game on Fragrantica -- associate a scent with our favorite book heroine/hero. I love Jane Eyre, so imagine my excitement when I saw this perfume associated with her. My desire to try it went aflame!!

Then I was lucky enough to get a bottle in a swap.

I like this perfume, and I find it mildly addictive. I keep wanting to smell my hair again and again to figure out all its secrets which it likes to keep. The lasting power is pretty impressive, when I spray it in the evening I smell it fully the next day.

At first I get very fresh green notes. This is one of those well kept secrets of this perfume -- I cannot figure out what's in there. Definitely a tea note, like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, but on a completely different background, not citrusy and sweet, but fresh and green. I cannot pinpoint what that is, but it's very pleasant. It's a little like cucumber, but not quite that. Upd.: I think I figured this out. It smells like lemon tree, with unpeeled lemons and leaves.

This lasts for about an hour or two, and then, oh then... then I am transported to my old house where I got married and where we lived first two years. It's May, and the heat wave hadn't hit yet, but the peonies are in full bloom, and I am lying on the ground next to the flower bed full of red sensual peonies and inhale their intoxicating aroma along with the fresh green notes.

My husband says that this perfume truly smells like our red peonies, and ours were so sweet that the ants will come and get lost in them, wandering around in the sweet floral smell... but I experience the same smell as very fresh and green still, the way I have described it.

And who cares that I cannot smell any lilac in it? I will be able to find another lilac perfume, but this one is truly unique. I can't wait to try this in May. I'm sure the warmth will bring out more in it.

Bought a mini unsniffed, just because I wanted to try out something.

Turned out that it's very nice perfume! Fresh, sour floral, balanced sweetness. It is kinda silky (a light purple one) and it defines word 'elegance' in it's own way. This one is more mature fruity floral, but everyone can wear it.

A bouquet of lilac, peony adorned by note of tea that is rather like s tone, it doesn't annoy or whatsoever.

Safe choice for work, I think, but also suitable for evening or stuff. Er.. or no, more like a daylight use, say to wedding :3

This a pleasant perfume. It's fresh and light, slightly lemony in a watery way, very clean smelling, but nothing very special. It doesn't last too long on me and seems to almost evaporate after a few short hours. Although I quite like it, it's not as amazing as I had imagined it would be from all the glowing reviews I had read about it and I always feel a little bit disappointed when I do wear it, which is only sporadically.

I would like to add that the comparisson to Light Blue isnot right to my opinion.I can clearly smell fruits to LB,like lemon-apple,which i cannot say the same for Eclat.

This one"s so fresh-floral and no fruity,i think.It is a romantic scent for all perfumelovers.Clean and refreshing.Ican get the smell of tea,lilac,osmanthus and peony.The musk and cedar at heart are so light.Good staying power.

totally love this one,including its bottle and color and scent,especially the top note, so fresh that it can bring you a good mood for whole day! But as a EDP, the staying power is poor.

Fresh, clean, light... these are all adjectives that fit Eclat d'Arpege perfectly. I smell citrus even though citrus isn't listed as a note. Since the scent itself is fleeting, you'll never feel overwhelmed while wearing this.

The comparisons to Light Blue (I'll throw Moschino I Love Love in the mix too)are spot on. They're almost identical.

It's a nice perfume, fresh and light, very clean smelling, but nothing very special. It doesn't last too long on me either and seems to almost disappear after a few hours. I do like it but it's not as great as I thought it would be and I don't wear it too often.

I had an EDP version of this fragrance and liked it for a while when I realized that this perfume didn't suit my age. It is rather for women in their 30s-40s. The other thing that I realized that it is a very occasional scent, and I felt myself unconfortable with it in casual times.
Anyway it is a nice fragrance, but could cause a headache after a heavy usage.
Love the bottle, the Jeanne Lanvin symbol, the rings on the neck of the bottle and the gem-decorated cap.

First of all, it has nothing to do with the original Arpege. A total different frag. belonging to a tatal different category. Many people compare it to D&G light blue, I don't see the resemblance.
It's a citrusy-floral fragrance that would fit perfectly hot summer days, office wear. A good and original fragrance. The staying power is kind of poor on me :(

Finally found a new scent I like!
The first impression is a light peach note, immediately followed by a flowery, warm yet not too sweet lilac and wood accords.
Very elegant and refined and not as synthetic and fruity as D&G Light Blue which I tried out for some weeks.
Eclat d'Arpège is not cloyingly sweet and overpowering or clinging, as some perfumes are...just when you think it is gone, you can smell it lingering on your skin or clothes. It is not one of the perfumes which hit you immediately, so for someone who wants a strong scent, this is not the one. But it is subtle, elegant and very feminine while being sexy in an understated way.
In my opinion perfect for spring and summer days/nights and for everyday office use.

I bought a 100 ml bottle of this fragrance and I'm so happy with it because it blends perfectly well with my body chemistry and I get complements every time I wear it. best part is,my hubby cant get his nose off me!

As for the people who say its not lasting.. Well,I dunno but in my case,sometimes I couldn't smell it anymore after an hour after spraying but everyone around me can still smell it even if its like 8 hours after. I guess we all tend to get immune to the fragrance we're wearing after an hour or two of wearing it..

True to its name (éclat means burst or sparkle) the first sheer, clean, sparkling and fruity notes of Éclat remind me of a cross between Bvlgari Amethyst and Ghost Sheer Summer. The fragrance is a fusion of a gentle but fresh floral note like lightly scented linen or soft cotton and a distinct fresh apple aroma.

When I wore it in winter, it felt joyfully summery and fresh and had a more uniform, warmer veil of baked apple infused with a creamy green tea aroma. In summer, it feels more citrusy and floral like the smell of propolis nectar, only subtly though so it never becomes syrupy or cloying.

After the top notes have dies down the fragrance turns more floral and creamier but is still showing its very fruity, almost edible distinct lilac-apple scent which mingles with white flowers and the rosy aroma of peony. The crispiness of Eclat softens slightly after an hour when the lilac and peony floral notes take over. throughout.

After 3 - 4 hours I start getting the unmistakeable musky base which sits on a wafer thin layer of light, powdery and refined woods and amber. The skin-flavoured musk and gently-spiced warm amber give out out a radiant, slightly woody and subtly sensual aroma.

The only criticism I have for Eclat is its staying power. In warm weather the floral notes tend to evaporate in a mere 3-4 hours though the delicate base notes still linger on throughout the day.

Éclat is a unique, fresh, sweet, ageless and delicate fragrance of with a complex, rich but light summer blend that's just as delicious all year round.

love this one! the only trouble is that it's not long lasting. i first purchased a 30ml bottle that got over quite fast. so i bought a 100ml bottle and that's also half now.
but a very sweet refreshing smell, perfect for summers. i think Nina Ricci's Nina smells a bit like this but only sweeter.

Bought it and I got it for $7.00 a 1.7 oz because the plastic case was missing so I got a discount.I like this and even the sales lady said it smells good.Only thing is the lasting power! But why do all the purple fragrances smell good? Maybe a lucky color for good smelling fragrances? Is there a lotion for this scent?

At the very first sniff, this perfume reminded me of of my mother's skin: silky and smoothy. It is so warm and heart-touched. I love it so much and I'm grudging using it up.

Goes on very pretty and sheer, with touches of tea under the floral elements, but it dries down into a watery unexciting floral on me. Not a lot of character at the end with my chemistry. I can see it working very well on another person, though. Delicate and sheer, like the gorgeous color of the juice itself. But not for me.

It´s a great perfume. Really reminds the Light Blue (D&G), but I think that Eclat smells better. More chic and sophisticated. But the longlasting is worst. It is a perfume very close to the skin. And in me last 4 hours. It´s fine, because I don´t fix perfumes at all. This is a fragrance for the person who wear it and not for who is around you. And I can tell that is very pleasent. Fresh, a little bit sweet, delicate and feminine. Maybe I´ll by the 30ml, to carry on my purse. Because it´s a smell that works a lot with me. Have that special thing.Relaxing.

I really love this perfume very very much! I used to hate using perfume, cause most of them smell too strong for me. But Lanvin Eclat is the only perfume that I would like to use it everyday, every single moment! I am falling in love with the smell... I bought the miniature, 1.7Oz & 3.4 Oz. Now I just ordered another 3.4Oz from my friend. hehe...

After smelling this more I have decided that this is the perfume SJP covet by pure bloom was trying to be. A juicy but feminine blend of florals and fruit. This Ed'A is much more grown up and adult, this is a sweet perfume for adults while CPB comes off as a fruity mess that is trying to be sophisticated.

Fresh and fruity floral, a very nice scent. I too can find some similarity to Light Blue, I couldn't figure out what it reminded me of when I was testing it. But the dry down and the end is completely different. While on me Light blue stays citrusy and fruity on me, Eclat d'arpege is more floral with a touch of fruit. I get the peony and some lilac. Wonderful light and clean perfume. This would be good for work or a casual perfume as its not 'in your face' but still femininely sweet, I am still smelling this 3 hours later and the base notes I can barely detect it has remained sweet and fruity/floral. A nice everyday scent for a woman who doesn't want to take over any place she goes but still wants someone to smell her if they are close.

Agree with smellysmellycat


First sniff It reminds me to D&G Light Blue.
Now I think it's quite similar
but Light Blue is more fresh,
while Eclat is clean, fresh,feminine and innocent.



How bad it's gone so fast.

I know alot of people adores this one. But personally, I feel that this perfume is way too soft for me, smells powdery and flowery. Perfect for young girls as it smells simple and clean.

I will wear this perfume to casual visiting to friends house. Not a good choice for outing. It smells nothing really special on me, not very lasting too.

a floral without any character. soapy, light fruity (i can faintly smell green apple), something for someone who wants something really unobtrusive. but even in this case i would choose another perfume, because it's not really a clean scent and it has no staying power...

It would be nice if it was strong enough to actually smell. I have used half the bottle in a day, trying to spritz enough to have more than the faintest sensation of a lemon/peach echo on the wind. There seem to be no bottom notes at all. Amber? Cedar? EH? They must be already on your clothes!

Speaking of which, Eclat is possibly best worn with no clothes on, as it is so 'delicate' that even the sheerest silk eliminates any possibility of sillage.

Given the tiny bottle...and spritz per happy sniff... the most expensive perfume I have ever bought and a waste of money for me.

Eclat is soft, delicate and pretty. From my first spritz in the store, it was a gentle airy halo about me, like being in a meadow of soft-hued flowers swaying in the breeze on a warm sunny day. The lilac is gorgeous and a mellow fruit scent melds beautifully into the soft-hearted florals and gentle spices making it a very intimate, almost skin scent on me. It's not really like Perfect Veil, but it does remind me of it slightly: where Perfect Veil is lemony baby powder, Eclat is sweeter and the lemon leaves seem to take on an apple and light orange (like the juice) accord added to the floral and spice. As for the D&G Light Blue comparisons, I own Light Blue as well and never even thought of the similarity until I read the reviews here. I agree to an extent as it’s only similar for me at the very beginning with the apple and lemon I think, then they go their separate ways, even though the base notes seem to be about the same, with cedar, musks and amber; I guess Eclat's are different and more subdued versions. Light Blue is much more lemony and a touch sharper: it's summery, fresher. Eclat seems to suit more seasons with its warmer elements. And the man test: he loves it! The first morning I wore it, I got a “Ooooh, you smell GOOD!” Yay! Sadly, my grievances about Eclat are its lasting power and sillage: they are abysmal on me. For the first 30 minutes or so though, it’s wonderful.

PS: I should say it is still there for maybe couple of hours after that, you've just got to get close...really, really close! to smell it.

This one is seriously amazing.
The sicilian lemon leaves give it a really unique feel, it's sharp/tart but still very feminine. Very good for day wear and for the office.

I'd give it a 100 star rating if I could.
