First Parfum

First by Van Cleef & Arpels is a distinctly classic floral aldehyde fragrance that feels both elegant and austere. It opens with a vibrant, clean burst of aldehydes, accompanied by fresh citrus and a subtle peach note, creating a sharp, soap-like initial impression. This evolves into a complex bouquet of white floral notes—givens, hyacinth, jasmine, and lilies—interlaced with a delicate animalic civet note and earthy oakmoss.

Quelques Fleurs l'Original is a rich, complex floral fragrance that opens with a fresh, green, and citrusy burst of bergamot, tarragon, and orange blossom. This vibrant start quickly softens into a lush bouquet of white flowers—jasmine, tuberose, lily-of-the-valley, violet, and orchid—blended with a subtle powdery sweetness and a warm, honeyed base. The drydown reveals a delicate interplay of musk, amber, vanilla, and a hint of animalic civet, creating a classic, timeless elegance that feels both regal and intimate.
