The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Van Cleef & Arpels, 22 Vendôme is crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch and embodies the house’s signature elegance with a modern twist. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of bergamot and pear, creating an inviting freshness that transitions into a heart of iris and vetiver, blending floral and earthy notes seamlessly. This composition settles into a base of tonka bean and patchouli, offering a warm, powdery finish that is both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with a light hand, as the bergamot opening is bright but fleeting. The heart and base notes develop gradually on the skin, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves subtly throughout the day.
