Van Cleef & Arpels are most famously known for their luxury jewellery designs. But in the beauty world, it’s their olfactory jewels that we lust after! The latest creation from the niche brand is The Amara, and I have all the details below…
This Fragrance Smells Like…
It smells bright and welcoming thanks to bergamot, spearmint, and a spicy pink peppercorn twist. After a few moments, you can pinpoint the florals, including rose, which give the Eau de Parfum an air of elegance. The dry down is much warmer and cosier, with notes of musk and cashmeran.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
Van Cleef & Arpels took inspiration from a stroll in a tea plantation in the early morning for this fragrance. The fragrance is peaceful, endearing and beautifully intertwines green, floral, and musky notes.
You Will Love This If…
Fan of tea fragrances like Miller Harris Tea Tonique, this perfume is worth trying!
If you love exploring niche perfume brands, this is a must-try if a green-floral-tea scent intrigues you.
This Perfume Smells Similar To:
It smells like a walk through a tea plantation in the morning. Never been to one? Me neither, but think tea leaves, fresh, crisp morning air and a medley of citrus and spices lingering in the background. If you close your eyes and spritz this, you’re as good as there!
Is Van Cleef & Arpels The Amara Unisex?
Yes, both men and women can wear this fragrance. All Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances are unisex.
What’s The Longevity Like?
Although it’s fresh and light, The Amars has excellent staying power. I spritzed it on my skin in the morning and could still smell it at lunchtime. Its smell had died down slightly by then, so I did a few more spritzes to reinvigorate the scent for the rest of the day.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
All Collection Extraordinaire bottles have the same elongated rectangle design with a Van Cleef & Arpels diamond-shaped silver plaque embossed with its logo hanging from the neck of the bottle; it’s chic and minimal. For The Amara, the glass bottle is translucent to show the light green perfume inside.
