Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Bois d'Amande Eau de Parfum 75ml Spray

Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Bois d'Amande Eau de Parfum 75ml is a refined oriental-woody composition by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, launched in 2020 as part of the maison's high-perfumery range. Inspired by the daydream of a moment beneath a blossoming almond tree, it pairs tangy lemon and creamy almond on top with a structural Virginia cedar heart and a soft vanilla-musk drydown — sophisticated, comforting and unisex.

Who it's for

Bois d'Amande suits anyone drawn to refined, gourmand-leaning woody compositions — those who appreciate Hermès Vanille Galante, L'Artisan Parfumeur or Frédéric Malle's softer wood entries. It's a year-round wear with particular comfort in autumn and winter, equally well-suited to men and women, and ideal for moments where you want a quiet, sophisticated sillage rather than a loud projection.

How to wear it

1. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the neck and behind the ears — at around 15cm
2. Apply over moisturised skin to extend longevity
3. Avoid rubbing wrists together to preserve the almond and lemon top
4. Two to three sprays is plenty; the vanilla-cedar base lingers softly
