The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rêve Elixir by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 2014 and is the creation of perfumers Nathalie Feisthauer, Evelyne Boulanger, and Émilie Coppermann. This fragrance blends a lush array of floral and fruity notes with a warm woody base, creating an intricate blend that evokes both freshness and comfort. The pear and peach blossom introduce a sweet, juicy profile that is seamlessly woven into the delicate florals like neroli and frangipani, resulting in a composition that feels both vibrant and serene.

How to wear it

Apply Rêve Elixir in light layers — the fruity top notes are quick to dry down, but the woody base ensures lasting warmth. It reads best close to skin rather than projecting widely, so multiple sprays are not necessary.
