Éclat d’Arpège Eau de Parfum Spray

For years this was my secret scent that I never shared with anyone. It was one of those fragrances that people couldn't pinpoint if it was my perfume or something else that made me smell so good. People just wanted to stand near me to breathe it in, especially men. It pains me to say but they have changed the formula. Its lighter, still floral and feminine, but missing the dry down note that was the key to making this such an intoxicating scent above all others. I was as mesmerized by it as others and haven't found it replicated in any other fragrance. I notice the jewel on the bottle top has changed colors to a watery topaz, maybe representing its lighter scent? I tried the limited edition bottles but they are this new version. I still get compliments but not as often and usually because I've mixed it with something else. If anyone has the bottle with the deep purple stones, put it on Ebay and I will find you!

This is my fragrance! I always get compliments on how I smell, always! It is a beautiful fragrance. It is light, clean, feminine and classy. It can be worn for many different occasions. People notice me and the fragrance when I pass by. I can not think of anything else like it. This fragrance is for all women regardless of age.

I have been wearing this perfume for the past 5 years, but had decided with the last bottle I purchased online, that I didn't care for it anymore. I realized that it wasn't the perfume I didn't like anymore, I believe I got a knock-off version because the fragrance wasn't the same. I decided to pay the higher price and go to a reputable department store to purchase the real fragrance:) I get headaches from perfume very easily, but this doesn't bother me. It's nice knowing you can count on Nordstrom's to provide quality products with great service!
