About the fragrance

Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial Le Parfum is a rich 2024 fragrance released in a perfume, or extrait, concentration.

The composition was created for women and men and is part of Collection Extraordinaire — the house’s signature line dedicated to expressive natural materials and carefully crafted olfactory visions.

Behind the fragrance is Van Cleef & Arpels, a symbol of Parisian elegance and impeccable taste.

Founded in 1906 on Place Vendôme, the jewelry house naturally brings the aesthetics of precious gems into perfumery: Ambre Impérial Le Parfum unfolds as a warm, expressive and noble accent for those who appreciate distinctive compositions with character.

Olfactory profile

The fragrance belongs to the amber, leather and woody groups, as well as to the amber, leather and spicy families.

Its central idea is built around the contrast between dense leather, glowing amber and a soft woody base — a combination that feels sensual, warm and refined all at once.

The composition opens with a leather accord that immediately establishes a deep, focused and confident tone.

Amber then unfolds at the heart, adding resinous warmth and a characteristic golden glow, while sandalwood forms a creamy woody foundation in the base.

A detailed list of additional notes and information about the perfumer are not provided in the available information.

Development and sillage

Ambre Impérial Le Parfum develops gradually: the leathery opening slowly softens into an amber heart, after which the composition settles on the skin as a warm sandalwood accord.

Thanks to its extrait concentration, the fragrance is intense and therefore reveals itself particularly impressively in cool weather, in the evening, at formal events and whenever a distinctive fragrance statement is appropriate.

Ambre Impérial Le Parfum has a very strong sillage.

This is not a quiet fragrance for going unnoticed, but a striking perfumery statement: a few sprays can keep the composition present in your personal space and on your clothes for a long time.

The exact dosage for skin and fabric is not specified in the available information, so it is best to start with a minimal amount and gradually increase the intensity if needed.

Who is this fragrance for?

This unisex perfume is ideal for those who enjoy amber and leather compositions with a woody finish, are not afraid of high intensity and prefer fragrances with a strong presence.

It does not seek to be exclusively masculine or feminine: leather adds austerity, amber brings sensuality, and sandalwood makes the scent smoother and more comfortable.

If you would like to explore more dense leather-and-amber fragrances, consider Mugler A*Men Pure Leather, V Canto Magnificat and Nabeel Ashjan.

At the same time, Ambre Impérial Le Parfum stands out through its place in Collection Extraordinaire and the jewelry-inspired aesthetic of Van Cleef & Arpels, combining a striking presentation with an elegant, meticulously polished composition.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
