Van Cleef & Arpels Oud Blanc (2020)

This fragrance is like a quiet meditation in the heart of an oriental temple, where every note sounds like the echo of time. In creating Oud Blanc, perfumer Anne Flipo combined aristocratic restraint with passionate depth, opening a new facet of a unisex composition based on oud.

The fragrance opens with fresh lemon, which seems to flash with golden light, and smoothly transitions into delicate almond sweetness and date pulp, which gives the composition oriental sophistication.

The heart is cedar and incense, creating an atmosphere of cosy sacredness. A soft trail of rose adds warmth and sensuality, as if the air is filled with petals falling on the wooden floors of an old palace.

The finale of the fragrance is vanilla that envelops you in warmth, white musk that leaves a silky transparency, and oud that is as deep and precious as a night in the desert.

Oud Blanc is a modern interpretation of an oriental legend. Light, bright, but intense - a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts, leaving behind a rich, refined trail.
