Gem Parfum by Van Cleef & Arpels is a fruity chypre fragrance for women. Launched in 1987, the nose behind this composition is Roger Pellegrino. The top notes unfold a vibrant accord of peach, plum, Brazilian rosewood, cardamom, coriander, cypress and myrtle. The heart reveals an exotic floral and spicy bouquet with ylang-ylang, carnation, cloves, jasmine, neroli, rose, iris and lily root. The base settles into a warm, earthy depth thanks to amber, galbanum, oakmoss, patchouli, vanilla and vetiver.
