I let it macerate for five months, and now it lasts eight hours on skin with moderate but very noticeable projection. The scent is spectacular, totally different thanks to those almond notes. Excellent quality, it delivers 100%, and it’s a ten-out-of-ten purchase. The Van Cleef collection is extraordinary; I adore them—they are truly fine creations.

It is creamy, sweet, and delicate, with just the right citrus touch to keep it from being cloying. I absolutely love it.

I’m obsessed with how it smells, but on my skin it lasts less than a breath. That’s why I wouldn’t buy it unless it were exceptionally cheap. It simply doesn’t last on me.

100% in agreement with Luisant. It happened to me almost exactly the same. What delicacy and subtlety, eh?

I stumbled upon this by accident. I was about to smell (for the nth time) Orchidee Vanille, which is now my ritual at Harrods. The sales assistant showed me Bois D’ Amande, and with little interest, I brought my nose to the blotter… My eyes widened. Almond is a note I rarely tolerate unless it’s well disguised, but here it has utterly captivated me. I had never smelled such a beautiful, delicate almond before until I was moved. In fact, I’ve never liked almond notes (YSL Cinema is the exception). That moment of being speechless… it happens so rarely! It’s accompanied by that exquisite vanilla (which I’m so obsessed with) that Van Cleef works so well with, plus the musk and woods that give it a golden frame. It’s a jewel, a red jewel wrapped in indigo velvet. Extremely elegant, distinguished, yet close, warm and delicate. I don’t know what these perfumes from this house have, but smelling them is almost therapeutic. Conclusion: I was determined to buy Orchidee Vanille and returned home with new indecision and consternation at this new discovery.

I tried this by chance. I was about to smell (for the nth time) Orchidee Vanille, which is now my ritual at Harrods. The sales assistant showed me Bois D’Amande and, without much interest, I brought my nose to the blotter… My eyes opened wide. Almond is a note I rarely tolerate unless it’s well camouflaged, but here it has fascinated me. I had never smelled such a beautiful, delicate almond until I was moved. In fact, I’ve never liked almond (YSL Cinema is the exception). That moment of being speechless… how rarely it happens! It’s accompanied by that exquisite vanilla (which obsesses me so much) with which Van Cleef works, plus the musk and woods that give it a golden frame. It’s a jewel, a red jewel wrapped in indigo velvet. Extremely elegant, distinguished, yet close, warm and delicate. I don’t know what these perfumes from this house have, but smelling them is almost therapeutic.
