Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial (2015) {New Fragrance}
Van Cleef & Arpels are launching a new opus N°00506QB in their exclusive Collection Extraordinaire, which is dedicated to putting the focus back on perfumery materials, called Ambre Impérial (Imperial Amber)...
The new composition is signed by perfumer Quentin Bisch of Givaudan. Describing his ideas for the perfume, the nose explained,
"I imagined Ambre Impérial like the perfect association of different symbolic essences from the Orient, the mythical and historical craddle of perfumery. I carefully selected those precious ingredients which for me evoke the quintessence of an authentic amber, a blend of sensations at once sweet, spicy." (Our translation)

« J'ai imaginé l'Ambre Impérial comme l'association parfaite de différentes essences symboliques de l'Orient, berceau mythique et historique des parfums. J'ai choisi avec soin les ingrédients précieux qui évoquent pour moi la quintessence d'un ambre véritable, mélange de sensations à la fois sucrées, épicées. (Press release)
The eau de parfum opens on top notes of bergamot and pink peppercorn followed by a heart centering on an amber accord by the light reflections playing in fossilized amber while the base rests on tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin and woods.
SRP: 130€/75 ml.
