The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Les Saisons Printemps by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 2004 and is a Floral Green fragrance for women created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. This composition opens with bright citrus notes, leading to an aldehydic freshness that captures the essence of spring’s awakening. The musky base adds depth and warmth, grounding the scent while maintaining its fresh, aromatic character.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a light, fresh scent that evolves throughout the day. The citrus top notes are vibrant but brief, so rely on the musky base to keep it lingering close to your skin.
