Van Cleef & Arpels Van Cleef is a floral, sweet and powdery women's scent that leans towards fall and winter evenings and nights out; it has been discontinued.
It opens with bergamot and neroli alongside galbanum and raspberry, giving a fruity, slightly green first impression. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose and heliotrope form a floral core, with carnation adding the spicy accord. The base of musk, tonka bean, cedar and vanilla sweetens it and closes on a woody, oriental, powdery warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Voters mostly see it as feminine and classic. Stetson Lady Stetson and Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile have a close profile.
