The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004 by Van Cleef & Arpels, Les Saisons Hiver is crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas and captures the essence of a winter landscape with its crisp citrus and fresh spicy notes. The composition opens with a bright burst of citrus that gradually gives way to warm spices and coniferous woods, creating an atmosphere of cold clarity followed by the comforting warmth of a powder room. This fragrance is neither harsh nor overwhelming; instead, it offers a nuanced portrayal of winter's duality — the sharpness of the air juxtaposed against the cozy charm of its base notes.
Apply Les Saisons Hiver to pulse points for an intimate experience. The citrus opening is bright but fleeting, so allow it to settle into the warmer base notes before stepping out. This fragrance reads best close to skin, making it perfect for a quiet evening at home or a cozy dinner.
