Van Cleef & Arpels First Edition Blanche is an eau de parfum that debuted in 2013, embodying a modern interpretation of classic femininity from the renowned house of Van Cleef & Arpels.
The brand, a symbol of Parisian elegance and impeccable taste, founded in 1906 on Place Vendôme, brings the same luxury and refinement to the world of perfumery as it does to its jewelry creations.
As an Eau de Parfum, the fragrance offers an ideal balance of longevity and sophistication, positioned as Women's and belonging to the Floral family.
This makes it an excellent choice for those who appreciate gentle and romantic notes in everyday life.
First Edition Blanche is characterized by a Subtle sillage, leaving behind a barely perceptible yet refined trace, highlighting its delicacy and versatility.
The fragrance is perfect for various scenarios: from morning meetings to evening outings, thanks to its elegance and ability to adapt to different moods.
For those who love to experiment and seek alternatives, we recommend paying attention to similar fragrances, such as Chanel Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée, Attar Collection The Golden Age or Yodeyma Paris Cheante.
These options expand the perfumery palette, offering similar floral and sensual accords.
Created by perfumer Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, the fragrance reflects her mastery in harmoniously blending notes, bringing unique depth and emotion to the composition.
Her work reinforces Van Cleef & Arpels' reputation as an innovator in luxury perfumery, showing how traditions can be reinterpreted to attract a new generation of connoisseurs.
First Edition Blanche not only complements the brand's portfolio but also serves as a testament to its constant pursuit of excellence, uniting jewelry art with perfumery inspiration to create unforgettable experiences.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance

Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of First Edition Blanche begins with a bright and sparkling start: Aldehydes and Bergamot create a fresh accord, complemented by Black Currant Blossoms and Mandarin for a light fruity note.
In the heart of the fragrance, classic floral notes unfold: Jasmine and Rose, which lend the composition romance and depth, reminiscent of spring gardens in full bloom.
The base consists of Musk (White Musk) and Vanilla, creating a warm and cozy finish that gently envelops the skin, leaving behind a tender and memorable impression, perfect for long-lasting enjoyment.
