An almond tree in the Italian sun: soft, creamy almond held up by pale, sunlit wood.
The Scent
It opens with a bright twist of lemon over creamy almond, more almond milk than marzipan, warmed by a touch of tonka. Dry Virginia cedar soon steps in and keeps all that softness from turning sweet. As it settles, vanilla and clean musk leave a powdery, cosy veil on your skin that feels calm, polished and grown-up.
The Collection
Bois d’Amande belongs to Van Cleef & Arpels’ Collection Extraordinaire, the house’s series of precious woods. Perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur created this Eau de Parfum in 2020, picturing almond trees in the Italian sunshine.
Notes
- Top: lemon, almond
- Heart: Virginia cedar
- Base: vanilla, musk
Who It’s For
This is for you if you love understated, comforting scents and want almond without the dessert. It makes an easy office signature, a slow weekend scent or a quiet choice for close-up evenings. It’s at its best in the cooler months, and the lemon and cedar keep it light enough for mild days.
Performance
Bois d’Amande wears softly and close to the skin, so it’s noticed by the people you let near. Expect moderate staying power of around four to six hours. Refresh it in the afternoon if you want it to last into the evening.
Authenticity
This is a genuine Van Cleef & Arpels 75ml Eau de Parfum tester, sourced by us. The fragrance is exactly what you’d get at retail. As a tester, it comes in plain packaging rather than the retail gift box.
