Thé Amara

The crisp clarity of a morning walk in a fragrant garden, where the coolness of mint and pepper gives way to the delicate sweetness of rose petals.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Thé Amara by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 2023, designed by perfumer Nadège Le Garlantezec to create an olfactory experience that balances freshness and warmth. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of bergamot and tea, infused with the sharpness of mint and pink pepper, providing an invigorating start. As it evolves, the composition softens into a heart of rose and sweet pea, adding a touch of floral elegance. Finally, it settles on a musky base enriched by cedar and cashmeran, offering a cocooning warmth that lingers.

How to wear it

Apply Thé Amara lightly — its bright top notes are most noticeable initially but gradually give way to the warmer base. It's best worn during cooler hours when the green and spicy elements can shine without being too overwhelming.
