This Oriental Spicy fragrance opens with a burst of pink pepper and bergamot, creating an initial freshness that contrasts beautifully against the warm heart of amber and tonka bean. The base notes of vanilla and benzoin further enhance its rich warmth, making it a scent that feels both luxurious and intimate. It is a composition that balances spicy vibrancy with sweet comfort, embodying the elegance and sophistication for which Van Cleef & Arpels is known.
