Launched in 1987, Gem Eau de Toilette by Van Cleef & Arpels was the creation of perfumer Roger Pellegrino and quickly became a signature scent for the brand. The composition blends fruity top notes like plum and peach with aromatic spices such as cardamom and coriander. As it evolves on the skin, the fragrance reveals a rich heart of white florals, including jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, grounded by earthy base notes of oakmoss, patchouli, and vanilla. The result is a warm, spicy, and powdery scent that captures the essence of Van Cleef & Arpels' sophisticated elegance.
