The story behind the bottle.
Les Saisons Été by Van Cleef & Arpels, launched in 2004 and created by Francis Kurkdjian, captures the essence of summer with a bright, fresh composition. The fragrance opens with aldehydic and green notes that evoke the crispness of early morning air, followed by fruity accords that bring to mind sun-ripened berries. At its heart, Les Saisons Été features white florals that provide a delicate contrast to the vibrant top notes, while an aromatic base rounds out the scent with a subtle soapy undertone.
Apply Les Saisons Été to pulse points for a fresh, long-lasting effect. The aldehydic top notes dissipate quickly, so aim for areas that will benefit from their initial burst of freshness. This fragrance works best during the day when its fruity and floral notes can thrive in warmer temperatures.
