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.

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
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.
