About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Birmane by Van Cleef & Arpels (1999) is a women's oriental woody fragrance that opens with a bright, fruity burst of pineapple, Brazilian rosewood, bergamot, and lemon. This sparkling introduction quickly gives way to a soft, floral heart of heliotrope, orchid, and rose, which adds a powdery, slightly sweet nuance. The base anchors the composition with tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk, creating a warm, balsamic, and woody foundation that lingers on the skin.

Collectors who appreciate sweet, vanilla-heavy orientals with a powdery finish will find Birmane a comforting yet elegant choice. Its dominant accords of sweet (100%), vanilla (98%), and powdery (89%) make it ideal for evening wear or cooler months, suiting those who enjoy a classic, feminine profile. As a discontinued gem from the late 1990s, it offers a snapshot of the era's penchant for rich, gourmand-leaning woods.

中文簡介

Van Cleef & Arpels Birmane(1999)係一款女性東方木質調香水。前調以菠蘿、巴西玫瑰木、佛手柑同檸檬帶出明亮果香,隨後轉入由天芥菜、蘭花同玫瑰組成嘅柔美花香核心,散發淡淡粉感。基調以零陵香豆、檀香、雲呢拿同麝香收結,營造溫暖、帶樹脂感嘅木質餘韻。

呢支香水主打甜味(100%)、雲呢拿(98%)同粉感(89%),適合鍾情經典甜美東方調嘅收藏家。氣質優雅而親切,適合晚間或秋冬使用,展現成熟女性嘅柔美韻味。作為九十年代末嘅停產之作,佢記錄咗當時偏愛濃郁木質美食調嘅潮流。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
