Re: what is it?
This is what it says at:http://members.aol.com/nonverbal2/arpege.htmUsage: Like other scented signs, Arpege bypasses thinking centers of our brain and "speaks" directly to emotions through the limbic system. Combining rose, jasmine, orange blossom, and ca. 60 natural oils and extracts, Arpege is a classic consumer product for the nose. The name, derived from the Italian word, arpeggio (a musical term for playing the tones of a chord in quick succession rather than simultaneously), reflects the perfume's stratigraphic "layers" of smell.

Bullseye Andrea!
According to the Oxford English Disctionary, Arpeggio is derived from the Latin "arpeggiare" which means "to play on the *arpa*" (i.e. harp)!
