First Parfum

First Parfum by Van Cleef & Arpels is a deeply opulent, feminine floral aldehyde that opens with a vibrant burst of peach, raspberry, and bergamot, quickly transforming into a warm, honeyed floral bouquet. The heart features a rich harmony of rose, jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang, orchid, and hyacinth, supported by a powdery, musky base with aldehydes, amber, sandalwood, vanilla, and civet that adds depth and animalic warmth. It exudes a regal, classic elegance reminiscent of vintage Chanel No. 5 and Joy, but with a more complex, layered quality. The scent is long in longevity and moderate in sillage, best suited for evening or winter wear. It carries a sophisticated, old-world glamour and is notably beloved by those drawn to timeless, luxurious perfumes.
