It all started in 1895, in the heart of Paris, with the marriage of Estelle Arpels, daughter of a dealer in precious stones, and Alfred Van Cleef, son of a lapidary. The young couple shared the same values: a spirit of enthusiasm and innovation, a sense of family and a passion for precious stones.

In 1906, the Maison of Van Cleef & Arpels was born at 22 Place Vendôme, uniting these two names in a common, bejeweled destiny. Their daughter Renée Puissant became Artistic Director of the Maison in 1926. With audacity and imagination, she forged a distinctive, eminently recognizable style for Van Cleef & Arpels.

Perfumes are a fairly recent addition to he Van Cleef collections. First, composed by Jean Claude Ellena (perfumer) in 1976, and First fragrance of a jeweler, remains a classic today.

Featuring a variety of unique fragrances, Collection Extraordianire reinterprets the most beautiful natural ingredients of the perfumery.

Aromas of citrus fruits, spring and exotic flowers and woody scents combine in a tribute to the poetry of nature.
