Van Cleef Cologne by Van Cleef & Arpels, Formulated by perfumer Louis Monnet, Van Cleef is a woody, aromatic scent for men. It was released in 1978 and is described by most as dark and mysterious. The opening is aromatic and strong, notes of bergamot and juniper berries accented by fragrant basil, spiked with spicy hints of marjoram and thyme, rounding off with relaxing lavender. The middle takes on a warmer tone, notes of patchouli and vetiver giving the heart an inviting tone, blended with floral accents of rose and carnation. The base features notes of amber, incense and musk, finishing off with leathery accords. This romantic scent is most appropriate for evening wear and comes in a stylish black bottle with a matching box.

Van Cleef & Arpels is a French company specializing in the production of watches, jewelry, and perfume. Established in 1896, the company opened its first boutique in 1906. By 1942, the founders relocated to the United States and opened a shop in New York. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Classy and unique scent

No, i would NOT recommend this to a friend as it's been my little secret for decades. ;) To me, VC & A has always been the "Chanel No.5" for men. Top of the line, very individual, unmistakable scent and women LOVE it. In almost all affairs and relationships, i've been told over and over: "why do

you smell so good? What is it???" and they associate THAT scent with nobody but me, even long after we've moved on to someone new. What higher compliment could i possibly pay this cologne? Been wearing it for over 20 years. Sure, it's pricy but i say with all humility: "i'm worth it!" :)

Whiff of the Parisian Gentleman

Van Cleef, Extremely potent scent that's able to blow an entire warehouse with a few spritz. Be mindful when spraying it onto yourself or you'll be a scent bomb. Great scent for the older, mature, sexy gentlemen. Brings about an old-ly parisian feel in the late 70-80's with cigarettey smoke

slathered onto your jackets. For the young boys, stick to fresher, younger, energetic scents. Let the big boys have this.

If I could find this,

I would buy it, but no one has this in their stock. I wonder if VC&A even makes this anymore. Royal Lyme sold out to a US company and they've diluted the fragrance and raised the price. I hope VC&A doesn't do the same. I've loved this fragrance since the mid 80s when I tested it in Nassau. After touring Nassau, I went back to the shop and purchased 2 bottles.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Such a Superb Scent for a Man or Woman Amazing!

I've used this brand from VC and Arpels for decades (40yrs.)..and had to find at specialty shops after the retailers stopped carrying it. But, seems I'm not the only person/man/woman (my daughter loves it as it reminds her of me..ha)..and was very pricey in the beginning and eventually came down to planet earth levels at 10. an oz. which is affordable for everyday use. I Pray the company in Paris doesn't think we can do without this great scent!..cr/lasvgs

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I'M REALLY SURPRISED

I'm really surprised reading some people's expressions regarding about Van Cleef & Arpels. I can't imagine how people describe it so low of this item, no offend guys, but it seems there is a lack of taste, to use this cologne you have to have a classy personality. I use it for 34 years, among few other products that i prefer, and always get great compliments. Very sexy and sensual.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

iTS OK

I got this recently for the first time after reading such great reviews of it. Honestly to me this one is just okay. Kind of reminds me of some hair oil back in India from the 1980s. It does get better after about an hour or so. Not bad but nothing great either. Lasts long and has a decent sillage.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I would buy this product as long as i live.

I can't say anything negative about this product. It's exactly my cologne. I have been using it for over 35 years and I will keep using it as long as i live. It is one of my favorite cologne besides the Drakkar Noire. It really shows my personality and it goes very well with my skin.

Love this product

The chemistry works like no other fragrance I have tried over the past 20+ years and I get so many positive comments when wearing it. Also, the fragrance lingers all day and night, never gets stale and does not effect my clothing. The spray-on deodorant was also excellent but that has been withdrawn which is a shame.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Use delicately for romantic encounters; add a little more for the Opera or Ballet but don't use for dinner parties,it will fight the aroma of the food.Above all it is an evening cologne.

A personally provocative touch!

I have used this fragrance for over twenty years and it definitely is how I finish dressing.Van Cleef is rare enough, and works with my body chemistry, to stop foot traffic and spin the opposite sex around to comment. The fragrance curiously sparks jealousy from other men because the fragrance goes from crisp and clean during the day, to sultry and intriguing in the evening and noticeably seems to take on a new character. Also, great in the tropics. "Only the very wealthy can afford to dress poorly" Austin H. Triplett
