First Eau de Toilette by Van Cleef & Arpels is a true classic in the world of luxury perfumery. Launched in 1976, it was the first-ever fragrance created by a high-jewelry house, marking Van Cleef & Arpels’ graceful entry into the world of scent. Designed by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, this fragrance embodies elegance, femininity, and timeless sophistication — much like the fine jewelry that inspired it. The bottle itself, shaped like a precious drop, reflects the brand’s refined design language.

The fragrance opens with sparkling aldehydes, bergamot, mandarin, and peach, lending it a bright and slightly powdery start. At its heart lie romantic floral notes — jasmine, rose, narcissus, ylang-ylang, and lily of the valley. The base is a luxurious blend of amber, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, and vetiver, creating a long-lasting, warm dry-down that feels both vintage and forever elegant.
