Composition of the fragrance
The sensual play opens with juicy notes of sour currant and sweet peach, which are complemented perfectly by juicy mandarin and refreshing raspberries. Then the fragrance gives prominence to heady jasmine and intoxicating, sweet lily of the valley. In the end, this sweet flower show is followed by warming notes of sandalwood, yet accompanied by subtly smoky vetiver, powdery amber and warming, deeply spicy civet.
Story of the fragrance
The First Eau de Parfum is the first ever fragrance created for Van Cleef & Arpels by the perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. Its bottle is inspired by the Snowflake High Jewelry collection – its elegant shape embodying feminine curves is crowned with a loop reminiscent of the earrings from the same collection.
