Van Cleef & Arpels Thé Amara — Eau de Parfum
An early-morning walk through a tea garden, mist still on the leaves. Calm, bottled.
The Scent
Thé Amara opens cool and bright: zesty bergamot and a soft green mint, with a little spark of pink pepper. Together they feel like a freshly poured cup of green tea. Then it softens into sheer rose and dewy sweet pea, more fresh petals than bouquet, before settling into a warm, cosy finish of clean musk and cashmeran that smells like your own skin, only better.
The Collection
Part of Van Cleef & Arpels’ Collection Extraordinaire, the jeweller’s haute-parfumerie line. Composed by Nadège Le Garlantezec and launched in 2023 as an Eau de Parfum. It’s the light, daytime piece in a collection known for richer florals and woods.
Notes
- Top: Bergamot, peppermint, pink pepper
- Heart: Rose, sweet pea
- Base: White musk, cashmeran, cedar
Who It’s For
You, if you love fresh scents but want them to feel polished and grown-up. It’s easy to wear at the office, on weekends and while travelling, and it really shines in an Australian spring and summer. It’s unisex, with a gentle floral touch.
Performance
Moderate. The bright opening settles into a soft skin scent after an hour or two, and you can expect around 5–8 hours on skin, longer on clothes. Top up if you’re heading out for the evening.
Authenticity
100% genuine Van Cleef & Arpels, sourced by us. This is a 75ml tester: the same perfume as the retail version, without the full retail presentation.
