Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme Van Cleef & Arpels for men

This classical leather scent for men appeared at the time when ultimate intensive chypre and masculine leather fragrances were very popular. It became a synonym for classical men\'s elegance in the world of fragrances. The fresh aromatic opening includes the notes of basil, bergamot, green notes, juniper berries, marjoram, thyme and lavender. The heart is warm and even hot, featured with woody notes of Guaiac, patchouli and vetiver, tender floral and sensual spices.
