About Van Cleef & Arpels

Van Cleef & Arpels brings its jeweler's eye to perfumery, with fragrances known for elegance and quiet grandeur. Spanning 1989 to 2021, the collection moves through sweet, woody, vanillic, and amber registers.

The house's most loved scent is Orchidée Vanille, a warm, vanillic composition with a wide following. Midnight in Paris offers an ambery, mysterious mood, while Bois d'Iris showcases the refinement of iris.

Bois Doré takes a warm, vanillic direction, Néroli Amara stays fresh and citrusy, and Santal Blanc builds something soft and creamy around sandalwood. Together with the classic Tsar, they capture the polished, understated luxury that defines Van Cleef & Arpels.
