Van Cleef Oud Blanc is an olfactory vision of purity, warmth, and ethereal beauty. Created by master perfumer Anne Flipo for the esteemed Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire, this unisex fragrance captures the refined complexity of Oud Blanc — not through the dense, smoky heaviness one might expect, but through a modern, transparent lens. The result is a crystalline interpretation of oud, masterfully blended with rose, white musk, and a sensual vanilla base. A standout within the Matière Blanche series, Van Cleef Oud Blanc invites fragrance lovers into a world where white is not just a color — but a feeling.
Inspired by the graceful swirl of white smoke rising from burning oud wood, Oud Blanc Van Cleef is a poetic take on one of perfumery’s most iconic ingredients. Where traditional oud perfumes tend to lean dark and mysterious, Oud Blanc Perfume is light, airy, and emotionally luminous — a scent that feels like being wrapped in cashmere under winter sun.

Fragrance Composition
Van Cleef Oud Blanc opens with a delicate and unexpected note: sweet Date Accord. This initial layer adds a gentle fruitiness, setting the stage for what unfolds — a core of heart notes where Turkish Rose Absolute dances beside incense and oud. Rather than overt intensity, the oud here whispers — its presence understated yet undeniably luxurious. The rose provides floral roundness, while incense breathes a smoky mysticism into the heart.
As Oud Blanc dries down, its base reveals the true character of the scent: a velvety wave of White Musk, Vanilla Bean, and soft aldehydes. These elements imbue the fragrance with a creamy elegance that wears like silk on the skin. The result is a beautifully linear fragrance that gradually deepens while maintaining a clean and graceful sillage. It’s oud made minimal, floral, and utterly wearable — the perfect fragrance for those who crave sophistication without overstatement.

The Story Behind Oud Blanc
Van Cleef Oud Blanc is part of the Matière Blanche (White Matter) collection, a conceptual series dedicated to exploring the emotional textures and symbolism of the color white. For Anne Flipo, this fragrance was an exploration of contrast — how the power and richness of oud could be reinterpreted into something weightless, clean, and sublime. The result is Oud Blanc Van Cleef Dupe of tradition, reinvented for the modern connoisseur.
Packaging
The scent comes housed in a sleek white flacon, a visual cue of the fragrance’s minimal elegance. Simple, luxurious, and refined — like the scent within — the bottle adds an artistic element to any fragrance display.
