Van Cleef & Arpels - Orchidée Vanille
Orchidée Vanille is part of the Collection Extraordinaire - a special collection of six fragrances by Van Cleef & Arples, a preciously fragrant tribute to nature.
The scent
In Asia, exotic orchids are often associated with the idea of beauty. The luscious bean of one of these orchids, the vanilla planifolia, nestles within an elegant black sheath. Falsely discreet, it is suave, languorous, mild and intoxicating. The perfumer - Randa Hammami - wanted vanilla that was not too sugary, but sweet like candied almond. Joyous fruity harmonies magnify the floral heart and melt within multi-faceted vanilla, tender and warm, cradled in dreamy musk - feminine and sensual, absolute and bewitching.
The flacon and the presentation box
Restraint is a key characteristic of the appearance of this perfume: The flacon is sculpted in pure and slender shapes. Its glass is heavy and precious. Like a jewel, the bottle is signed with a stamp on the bottom and topped with a black lacquered cap. To personalize each fragrance, it features both name and number, an identifier used in perfume houses. The presentation box is decked in precious white and edged with green, the emblematic colour of the house - and symbol of the inspiration by nature...
