Automne

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2004

Fresh · Floral · Green

Van Cleef & Arpels Automne is a fresh, floral and green women's scent led by sandalwood, spices and cedar, and it has been discontinued. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters pick it mostly for daytime, office and leisure wear, while evening and night out come lower. Sandalwood and cedar form a woody base, warmed by spices and cassia. Red berries and almond add sweetness, lily brings the floral side, and musk carries the powdery, creamy feel.

Rêve d'Ylang

7.7

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2019

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Van Cleef & Arpels Rêve d'Ylang is a unisex scent that opens with cardamom, holds ylang-ylang and saffron at its heart, and settles into patchouli and vanilla. Voters find its longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough indication. With no season or occasion votes, only its unisex nature can be said: it reads neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine. Cardamom gives a spicy start, and at the heart ylang-ylang and saffron keep the floral and spicy sides together. In the base, patchouli and vanilla sweeten the scent. Floral, fruity and sweet accords come first, with oriental, powdery and creamy shades alongside. Thameen Diadem and Parfums de Marly Safanad have a close profile.

Rêve Elixir

7.3

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Van Cleef & Arpels Rêve Elixir is a fresh, floral women's fragrance with a soft fruity and lightly sweet side; it has been discontinued. It opens with neroli, peach blossom and pear, then moves into a heart of frangipani and iris, which pull the scent in a powdery, floral direction. The base of cedar, sandalwood and amber adds woody and gourmand notes that steady the sweetness, with a faint spicy edge in the background. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, neither very strong nor faint, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. The perfumer is Nathalie Feisthauer. Perfumes with a close profile include Prada L'Homme L'Eau and Madonna Truth or Dare Naked.

Néroli Amara Le Parfum

8.9

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Van Cleef & Arpels Néroli Amara Le Parfum is a unisex scent that pairs bright citrus with the sweet, creamy softness of orange blossom. Its longevity and sillage are rated good by those who voted, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not definitive. It reads comfortably on both men and women. It opens with bergamot, Italian lemon and mandarin orange, giving a fresh, fruity brightness. Cypress and pink pepper in the heart add a light spicy, green dryness. In the base, orange blossom absolute and cashmeran settle the floral sweetness onto a creamy footing. Van Cleef & Arpels Néroli Amara and Fragonard Belle d'Arles have a close profile.

Santal Blanc Le Parfum

8.0

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2025

Floral · Green · Woody

Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc Le Parfum is a unisex scent in which creamy, woody sandalwood sits over a floral and green base. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the votes are few, so the trend is more a hint than a verdict. Voters spread it almost evenly across leisure, daytime and evening wear, and it fits the office and nights out just as well. It opens with fig milk and mandarin orange, light and soft. In the heart, cashmeran, sandalwood and violet bring the woody and floral sides together. The base of musk, amber and tonka bean settles it into something creamy and warm. Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc and Vice of Vieve Lait de Santal have a close profile.

Moonlight Patchouli Le Parfum

8.3

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2022

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters find them strong, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. As a unisex fragrance it reads warm and full, suiting men and women alike. It opens with bergamot and spices for a citrusy, slightly sharp start. Bulgarian rose adds a soft floral heart, and the base is dominated by amber, suede and patchouli. The dry-down runs sweet, creamy, earthy and faintly leathery.

Fresh · Floral · Green

Van Cleef & Arpels Féerie Rose des Neiges is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that leans towards spring and fall days, at ease in daily wear or the office; it has been discontinued.

Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer behind, and they place it mostly in daily, leisure and business settings rather than evening or night out. It opens with lychee and pink pepper, a fruity freshness with a light touch of spice. Magnolia and rose form a floral, slightly green heart. In the base, tonka bean sweetens the scent while cedarwood adds a woody, powdery foundation.

Printemps

Van Cleef & Arpels · 2004

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Van Cleef & Arpels Printemps is a fresh women's fragrance that suits daytime and office hours; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor disappears quickly. Voters place it mostly in leisure and business settings, then everyday wear, and a smaller group even picks it for sport. The scent rests on lemon and lemon vervain, giving a bright, green, citrusy feel. Aldehydes add a slightly synthetic sparkle to that clean air, while musk leaves a soft, powdery base underneath. The floral side stays in the background.

Eau du Tsar

7.4

Van Cleef & Arpels · 1998

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Van Cleef & Arpels Eau du Tsar is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, citrusy character with fruity sweetness over a woody, earthy base; it has been discontinued.

Sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss supply a woody, earthy, slightly resinous depth throughout. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. The fresh, fruity brightness against the woody depth gives it a masculine feel. Aigner In Leather Man and Nishane Hacivat have a close profile.
