Perfume Orchid reimagines leather in a way that only Van Cleef & Arpels can—sensual, floral, and deeply sophisticated. Unlike traditional leather scents that lean toward the smoky or rugged, this fragrance exudes refinement, subtlety, and romance. Through the lens of haute perfumery, Van Cleef Orchid Leather explores a tender, polished interpretation of leather blended with amber, spice, and rich orchid-vanilla notes. The result is a signature scent that balances mystery and elegance, making Orchid Leather Van Cleef & Arpels a standout in modern unisex perfumery.

Fragrance Experience

Perfume Orchid begins with a soft, unexpected warmth—a whisper of fruity sweetness, tempered by ambery, leathery nuances. Instead of a loud introduction, it invites you in with elegance. The accord of cistus and vanilla pod—both derived from nature's most fragrant botanicals—slowly unfold, revealing the heart of the fragrance. These two ingredients are the stars of this composition, known for their richness and long-lasting presence on the skin.

As the scent matures, Van Cleef Orchid Leather evolves into a luxurious embrace. Smoky, animalic notes are gently softened by the balsamic glow of resin and the creamy richness of vanilla. These elements play beautifully with the leathery backdrop, giving it softness and wearability. Underneath, the base notes linger with a musky warmth that clings to skin like velvet. The entire composition dances between smoky, sweet, spicy, and floral—making Orchid Leather Van Cleef & Arpels more than a perfume, but a sensory journey.
