Feerie
by Van Cleef & Arpels
Feerie by Van Cleef & Arpels is a delicate, frosted floral-fruity perfume that exudes a youthful elegance. It opens with a fresh burst of black currant, mandarin, and red berries, creating a juicy, slightly tart foundation that feels refreshingly natural. The heart unfolds with a soft, powdery violet layered over Bulgarian rose and Egyptian jasmine, a combination that feels both tender and slightly flirtatious. The dry down reveals a smooth, slightly earthy vetiver and iris base, grounding the floral sweetness and adding quiet depth. This fragrance is best described as a wearable fairytale—elegant and softly romantic, with a hint of cool dew on the skin. It's one of those perfumes that feels more like a dream than a scent, evoking memories of childhood, garden paths, and gentle secrets. While not bold or overwhelming, it lingers with a gentle, intimate presence that many find genuinely enchanting.
