The story behind the bottle.
Tsar 2025 by Van Cleef & Arpels is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that was launched in 2025. This composition opens with the freshness of mugwort and rosemary, creating an aromatic and spicy contrast to the heart notes of geranium and jasmine. The base layers of woody notes and amber offer a warm and enveloping finish. Tsar 2025 is designed to be both fresh and sophisticated, capturing the essence of contemporary elegance.
Tsar 2025's mugwort and rosemary notes are bright but short-lived. Apply two sprays initially to ensure the woody base and amber notes have time to develop fully. Best for daytime wear, as the fresh aromatic top notes complement morning and afternoon activities.
