Fragrance information:

Van Cleef & Arpels launched Eau du Tsar in 1998 — and it was a brilliant move. A masculine fragrance belonging to the fern and aromatic families. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer Benoist Lapouza. Eau du Tsar is part of the Tsar collection. Offered in eau de toilette concentration.

Expect a delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. It's a light presence — longevity is low, perfect for those who love something airy. The home of this fragrance is France. Eau du Tsar Van Cleef & Arpels — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Eau du Tsar is built as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Van Cleef & Arpels comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.

When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a architectural woody mood: Caraway, Cardamom, Grapefruit, Lavender, Mandarin, Melon and Oak moss.

The middle and base stages are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.

The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Fruit and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Low points to a sustained drydown presence.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Spicy, Citrus, Green and Fruit. The palette also extends to Earthy / Mossy, Wood and Aromatic.

Overall Eau du Tsar sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail.

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
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
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
Imperceptible

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.
