The House of Van
Cleef & Arpels is known worldwide for its elegant and imaginative jewelry
and watches. Van Cleef & Arpels was the first high jewelry house to
introduce its own line of fragrances (the debut scent was called, fittingly,
First).
Today, the full collections
of fascinating Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances are beloved by celebrities,
royalty, and fashionable men and women everywhere.
With a title of
Ochid Vanilla, you would expect just that but this fragrance is so much more!
It has notes of
mandarin orange, litchi, bitter almond, dark chocolate, Bulgarian rose, violet,
vanilla, cedar, tonka bean and white musk.
I found most times it usually has a vanilla and orchid and with
a hint of chocolate fragrance.
Sometimes I would smell chocolate truffle, with a hint of caramel
in places.
This Fragrance is (a word I rarely use) Extraordinary and
the scent lasts all day!
Although it has a high price point ($85 - $190), it is
certainly a well-made, very well crafted perfume. You do get your money's worth!
Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire is
available in seven scents, Orchidee Vanille, California Reverie, Rose Velours,
Precious Oud, Cologne Noire, Gardenia Petale, Bois d'Iris.
You are sure to find a collection that fits you scent needs.

* Van Cleef & Arpels was nice enough
to give me a bottle of Eau de Parfum in lieu of an honest review, My opinion is not influenced in anyway and I
will still continue to only post and link to products that fit my personal
style. *
