About this fragrance

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

Van Cleef by Van Cleef & Arpels, launched in 1993, is an Oriental Floral composed by perfumer Pasc. The opening is a brisk, green-aromatic blend of marigold, galbanum, and neroli, leading to a classic floral heart of geranium, orange blossom, jasmine, and rose. The base settles into a warm, balsamic mix of tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, and musk. This structure yields a scent that is aromatic and sweet, with fresh spicy, green, and vanilla facets.

Collectors who appreciate well-blended, complex fragrances will find this a worthy addition. It suits those who enjoy vintage-style orientals with a prominent green-aromatic opening. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, it projects elegance and sophistication. The perfume's balanced composition makes it a timeless choice for women who prefer a scent that is both fresh and warm, never cloying. Its discontinued status adds to its appeal for those seeking unique, hard-to-find gems.

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.
