Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Eau du Tsar by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 1998, offering a blend of woody and aromatic notes with warm spicy undertones. This fragrance opens with bright citrus and fruity accents, creating an initial burst of freshness that is soon enveloped by earthy and sweet components, giving it a rich, layered character. The composition is anchored by lavender, providing a subtle herbal note that ties the various elements together seamlessly.
Apply this fragrance two sprays at a time — it builds gradually on the skin and benefits from layers. The citrus notes fade within an hour, but the woody and spicy base notes continue to develop throughout the day.
