Fragrance information:

Identity and History of the Fragrance

The fragrance Néroli Amara by Van Cleef & Arpels is an Eau de Parfum, released in 2018.

Part of the Collection Extraordinaire, this unisex fragrance symbolizes Parisian elegance and impeccable taste of the house, founded in 1906 on Place Vendôme, where jewelry art meets perfumery.

Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Néroli Amara reflects the masterful blend of tradition and innovation characteristic of Van Cleef & Arpels, and continues the legacy of exquisite compositions in the perfume world.

Positioning and Wearability

This fragrance is positioned as unisex and has a moderate sillage, making it ideal for daily wear, the office, or special occasions.

Its Eau de Parfum concentration provides balanced longevity, and application on the skin is recommended as "enter the cloud", creating a light but memorable presence.

Thanks to citrus and floral accents, Néroli Amara is particularly suitable for spring and summer days, offering a feeling of freshness, sophistication, and elegance.

For those looking for similar fragrances, one can consider Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique, Attar Collection Azora, or Yves Rocher Secrets d'Essences Neroli, which also explore citrus and floral themes.

Influence and Authors

The work of Quentin Bisch on Néroli Amara emphasizes a modern approach to classical notes, enhancing the reputation of Van Cleef & Arpels as an innovator in the perfume world.

This fragrance has become part of a collection that continues to surprise connoisseurs with exquisite compositions, strengthening the brand's position in the luxury perfume market.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Top notes open with sparkling bergamot, lemon, mandarin, and spicy pink pepper (red berries), creating a bright and juicy opening.

The heart of the composition unfolds with delicate orange blossom (neroli), juicy pear, woody cypress, and piquant black pepper, adding depth and complexity.

In the base, the fragrance settles into warm musk and exquisite neroli, ensuring a long-lasting and elegant finish.

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.
Sillage

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.
