The name and the scent do not match, thats for sure.
It is a soft cool floral, aldehyde ish.
I like it, the colour pink of the bottle is definitely a good match.
Fanny – :
More than Arrogance it would be Nostalgie.
Not only because it brings to mind the childhood classics of the 80s. But also because it has those soft tones of tender and “cold” soapy watery flowers such as gardenia and that wooded oak moss that: in short, arrogance does not has its dominion here as Tenderness and romance have.
Wrong name but very good fragrance by the same creator of Anais Anais and Quartz, and it shows. A much more refined Jontue.

I love this, it’s very fresh and feminine. Definitely has a strong smell of hyacinth to my nose, as others have said, and much greenness. Very lovely. A little tiny bit fruity, and just a mild touch of musk, but it’s mainly a lovely hyacinth dominated floral. I love it.
And the bottle is beautiful, very feminine and classy. And such a gorgeous colour! I love Arrogance pour Femme, it’s gorgeous.
lemnothenly – :
They should bring this one out again – under a different name and brand. Arrogance is not something to be promoted in any fashion. To me, this is a really unique and lovely scent. I really like this and find it unusual. A more experienced nose will know what the main dominant notes are. I like whatever it is hyacinth?, a sweet, fresh almost waxy note.
zver101276 – :
I loved its sweet floral smell;sad it’s not sold anymore
Elephant – :
I do not like this strong heady old fashioned fragrance.
All I get initially is Jasmine and more Jasmine-then a strong green
scent that is not pretty.
I am about to give mine away.
BeerBass – :
I strongly dislike the name of this perfume and brand… Arrogance, huh! As if arrogance is a quality to be admired!

This is a modern take on chypre. Moss with unsweetened flowers, synthetic notes. Min longevity and silage. I gave it away.

Very soft and pleasant scent, powdery, vintage, floral, delicate. One of my High school fragrances.

Una fragranza pulita e fresca, mi verrebbe da dire “un profumo rosa” perché lo associo alla femminilità morbida e dai toni pastello, mai volgare.
Azzeccatissima la boccetta ovviamente…
UberPanZER – :
Mmm, a delicate, tender, baby rose, vintage scent. It’s green and oakmossy, a little woody, and it’s clean and fresh at the same time. It smells rather fruity to me, like sweet apple, but I don’t see apple in the notes here. Fragrantica can be wrong sometimes anyway. This perfume definitely reminds me of the 80’s–not because it’s a big spicy floral like Coco, but because it reminds me of what was popular in my childhood–My Little Pony, ballet classes, sparkles, pink ruffles, and frills. Nanette Lepore smells like a modern version of this perfume. Both are exceedingly pink and extremely charming.
I was generously gifted with a mini of this. Thank you to my secret gifter!

There must be something wrong with the notes above.
This perfume is mainly hyacinth and green notes and then all the rest. But hyacinth is not pictured above.
I like this perfume very much, romantic, powdery, GREEN at the beginning, uplifting and pleasant.
OparaDima – :
This is the storic parfum of a my dear teacher!!Flowery and optimist,great fragrance!!
Makusu – :
Elegant,feminine floral fragrance, I always wear it in the summer,it’s fresh without being too sour,it’s warm without being too sweet,well -combined elements make it light to wear. The first splash is a bit too floral then it settles, I always wonder about the aldehydes,is that the key note holding everything so well balanced. I discovered Arrogance in the 90s, I search and find one for the summer days,its similar to Ralph Lauren’s Romance, but better.
Мышкин – :
I wore this in the early 90’s and always had fond memories of this little gem. As I remembered it- strong white flowers that needed only light application and definitely a perfume to make a statement.
Fast forward to last year when I first tested Robert Piguet Fracas, it immediately conjured memories of Arrogance. They seemed almost identical to my nose.
Keen to test my olfactory memory, I tracked down a mini of Arrogance to see if they were indeed similar, and I do believe they are. Just look at the notes side by side and you’ll see what I mean. Almost a carbon copy of one another.
Shame it’s discontinued but I may need to snaffle another FB while I can!
Dubkov1988 – :
so glad I found it at last,will bring back beautifull romantic memories and hopefully will produce more!
Thank you Fragrantica.Velvet67

Wore it when I lived in Italy. Loved it! I didn’t realize I could still get it. I sure plan to!
andre6299 – :
A feminine scent that clearly earns the right to be called floral, it is fresh without being bitter,soft without being dull.Too bad can’t find it anymore.
Evgen 629 – :
This scent was very popular in Italy in the ’80s, so it always reminds me of that period. It has become a classic.
Opposite to many powerhouses of that era it is fresher, floral and only slightly musky. It starts a little bit fruity, but nothing similar to nowadays strongly fruit-juicy fragrances.
Closest fragrance to Arrogance is maybe Ralph Lauren Romance, but this last is much better made.
Arrogance Femme is a longlasting one.
I don’t like to smell it on other people and less than ever on myself. That’s not because of the scent itself, which BTW falls on the cheaper edge of parfum, but simply because of memories.
Many moms and aunts wore it, because it was a feminine, well-known and quite demure scent (well, compared to others!)
It reminds me of the clothes of that period for women around 30-40. Also many girls wore this, but not many I knew.
In present days it is mainly worn by the same moms and aunts and a few perfumistas who never care for the “age” of fragrance but just for the fragrance itself. You can still find it in many perfumery stores, usually packed in a gift box with transparent plastic, together with bathgel and body lotion for a very decent price.

It’s a shame you can’t get it anywhere. I have such good memories of it! I used to wear it when I was younger. It was very assertive and powerful, rich, intoxicating and sophisticated.
