ORCHID LEATHER | VAN CLEEF & ARPELS - Eau De Parfum - Collection Extraordinaire

The latest fragrance from the House of Van Cleef: Orchidée Leather combines plant-based ingredients with our leather.

Leather is more than just a texture, it's first and foremost a unique olfactory imprint, a subtle blend of animal, smoky, amber and gourmand notes...

As Nature offers the most beautiful notes of vegetal leather, Orchid Leather proposes a bold leather composed of 2 precious signature fragrance ingredients: cistus and vanilla bean. An addictive vegetal leather enhanced by spicy, ambery woody notes of incense, vetiver and patchouli.

The perfumer talks about this plant-based alchemy: "To create the first leather in the Collection Extraordinaire, I chose to approach this classic note in a different way, by exploring the subtle leathery accents of plants," says the perfumer. I immediately selected cistus, which has an exquisite musky leather note. Next came vanilla absolute, with its spicy, slightly animalic inflections, evoking warm leather."
