Van Cleef & Arpels Imperial Amber Eau de Parfum (mini)

Imagine a cozy evening by the fireplace with a glass of whiskey, exuding rich, sweet aromas. The Ambre Imperial Eau de Parfum by Van Cleef & Arpels conjures just such a feeling, its scent seemingly warming the soul. Created by master perfumer Quentin Bisch, despite its oriental-spicy character, the fragrance is quite soft and enveloping. The composition is fairly linear and almost unchanged, allowing you to distinctly experience its two main accords—amber and vanilla. This combination creates a sense of coziness, a pleasant sweetness that relaxes, and a feeling of joy. Initially, the fragrance may seem slightly sharp due to a hint of pepper, but it then becomes more resinous and restrained. It is well-balanced and not overly sweet, as the rich vanilla is perfectly counterbalanced by a woody base. This makes the composition universally appealing to everyone, both women and men. The perfume reveals its best during autumn or winter strolls and excellently complements an evening attire.

Top notes open with the fleeting freshness of bergamot, shimmering with a light bitterness. The effervescent pink pepper adds playfulness and piques interest.

In the heart, a dense, honeyed-sweet amber unfolds, creating a sense of warmth and comfort. Benzoin adds a resinous sweetness, while tonka beans and vanilla enhance the gourmet tenderness, immersing you in absolute comfort.

In the base, woody notes envelop the body, adding durability and depth. They provide a finishing touch to the entire composition, making it warm, balanced, and multi-layered.
