History and Brand Influence

Founded on the famous Place Vendôme, the house of Van Cleef & Arpels initially conquered the world with precious creations, and this fragrance continues the tradition, bringing jeweler's precision to perfumery.

Precious Oud reflects the brand's DNA through a combination of exoticism and sophistication, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in creating luxurious, memorable compositions.

Working on it, Amandine Clerc-Marie, a master of oriental accords, gave the fragrance depth and emotion, making it not just a perfume, but a work of art.

Revelation and Character of the Fragrance

At the start, Van Cleef & Arpels Precious Oud charms with fresh notes of Bergamot and spicy Pink Pepper, creating an intriguing introduction.

In the heart of the composition, balsamic Frankincense and floral accords of Jasmine with Tuberose unfold, adding sensuality and warmth.

The base, rich with Oud, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and animalic Gray Ambergris, provides a long-lasting and captivating final note, perfect for cool seasons or romantic evenings.

Wearability and Practical Tips

It is recommended to apply it to pulse points for better development, and the dosage is usually adjusted individually depending on the desired intensity.

As part of Collection Extraordinaire, it stands out for its refined approach to the Oud note, making it more accessible for those seeking an elegant alternative to traditional oriental fragrances.

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.

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.
