About this fragrance

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

Precious Oud by Van Cleef & Arpels, launched in 2011, is an Oriental Floral that opens with a bright, peppery spark of pink pepper and bergamot. The heart quickly reveals a lush, creamy tuberose laced with smoky incense and jasmine, creating a dramatic white floral core. The base is a rich, resinous blend of agarwood (oud), sandalwood, patchouli, ambergris, and vetiver, lending depth and a warm, balsamic finish. This composition suits collectors who appreciate bold, opulent florals grounded in woody, ambery warmth. It's ideal for evening wear or special occasions, and its intense sillage and longevity make it a statement scent. The interplay of tuberose and oud is particularly striking, offering a modern take on classic Oriental themes. If you enjoy fragrances like Tom Ford's Black Orchid or Amouage's Honour, this may appeal. The 2011 release captures a moment when oud was becoming a mainstream note in Western perfumery, making it a noteworthy addition to any collection.

中文簡介

Van Cleef & Arpels 嘅 Precious Oud 喺 2011 年推出,屬於東方花香調。前調係粉紅胡椒同佛手柑嘅清新辛辣,跟住晚香玉、乳香同茉莉嘅花香核心浮現,帶出濃郁嘅白花香氣。基調以沉香(烏木)為主,配合檀香、廣藿香、龍涎香同香根草,散發溫暖、樹脂感嘅木質餘韻。呢支香水適合鍾意大膽、華麗花香但又要有木質底蘊嘅收藏家。氣質高貴、性感,適合晚宴或特別場合,留香同擴散力都幾強。如果你鍾意 Tom Ford Black Orchid 或 Amouage Honour 呢類風格,呢支值得一試。

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.
