Identity and Release History

The fragrance Van Cleef & Arpels Birmane, released in 1999, is an exquisite eau de toilette from the legendary house Van Cleef & Arpels, a symbol of Parisian elegance and impeccable taste.

Founded in 1906, the brand is renowned for its jewelry and perfumery masterpieces, and Birmane continues this tradition by harmoniously combining floral and oriental chords in a composition that instantly wins the hearts of connoisseurs.

Its eau de toilette concentration provides a fresh and long-lasting resonance, perfectly suited for those who value the balance between brightness and longevity, unfolding gradually and leaving a subtle trace.

The creation belongs to the talented perfumer Richard Herpin, who masterfully wove notes of luxury and elegance, characteristic of Van Cleef & Arpels, into the fragrance.

This release strengthened the brand's reputation as a creator of refined and memorable perfumes, reflecting the highest quality and aesthetics, and became a testament to its influence in the industry.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of Van Cleef & Arpels Birmane begins with sparkling top notes: bergamot, lemon, pineapple and palisander (rosewood), creating a fresh and fruity start that instantly lifts the mood and provides energy.

In the heart of the composition, delicate floral chords unfold: heliotrope, orchid and rose, adding depth, elegance, and a romantic note, making the fragrance more complex and intriguing.

The base is built on warm and sensual notes: sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla and musk, providing longevity, completeness, and an enveloping aftertaste that lingers on the skin for hours, offering comfort and confidence.

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
Medium (2 to 5 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.

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.
