The story behind the bottle.
First Eau de Toilette pour l'Été Summer by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 2004 as a refreshing take on summer florals. This composition opens with a bright, green aromatic top note that gives way to a blend of white and yellow floral heart notes, creating an airy and fresh atmosphere. The woody base adds depth without overpowering the lightness above, making it a perfect scent for warm weather.
One spray on each wrist is enough to capture its fresh and airy character. This fragrance develops best close to skin rather than projecting across a room, so apply directly where it will be worn.
