Reve d'Encens, launched by Van Cleef & Arpels in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, offers an intriguing blend of warmth and spiciness. The fragrance opens with saffron, a note that adds a subtle metallic edge to the composition, followed by olibanum and rose in the heart. These notes create a rich and complex bouquet that is further enhanced by the woody base of sandalwood and white musk. This unisex scent captures a balance between the fresh spiciness of saffron and the warm ambery tones of its base, making it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate layered aromas.

Application Tips
Apply Reve d'Encens in light spritzes — its saffron top note is fleeting but impactful, while the woody base notes develop over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, making it ideal for an evening out or a cozy indoor setting.
