Posted by Robin on 26 February 2021 11 Comments

Van Cleef & Arpels will launch Orchid Leather, a new addition to the brand′s Collection Extraordinaire.

Orchid Leather was developed by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, and explores the 'leathery aspects' of plants, in particular cistus and vanilla. Additional notes for the woody oriental include plum, cardamom and incense.

Van Cleef & Arpels Orchid Leather will be available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

      I am behind on the line now — maybe 2 or 3? — but this one does sound good.

    The plum part I’m not so sure of, but the other notes sound marvelous.

      I am waiting for them to do Cardamom Vanille, fine if they include incense too.

        Oooh, that would be wonderful. Is that in the pipeline, or just a personal wish?

    Let’s see if I can get a sample. If not, Fragrancenet usually ends up with these for a good price.

    Oooooooooh, sounds intriguing! All of the VC&A perfumes I have smelled have been very well constructed.

    These VCA’s tend to be good.

    I’m a fan of this line. Own 3 of them, like a lot 2 others I don’t have so I’ll be looking forward to giving it a try.
