The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Van Cleef & Arpels, Bois d'Amande is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur. The composition opens with the brightness of almond and lemon before transitioning into a heart of vanilla and Virginia cedar, culminating in a base that marries powdery musk with nutty warmth. This fragrance captures a sense of serene elegance, blending sweet and woody notes to create an inviting atmosphere.

How to wear it

Apply Bois d'Amande to pulse points for a gentle, long-lasting presence. The fragrance blooms slowly, so it's best enjoyed close to skin rather than sprayed liberally across a room.
