Van Cleef & Arpels is a sophisticated fragrance that was created back in 1906 in Paris France. I thought this was an interesting piece that 35th President of United States gave Jackie Kennedy a 10th Anniversary Ring from Van Cleef collection of jewelry. He was also in the watch business. One of the fragrances top notes are fresh bergamot and sparkling grapefruit. The middle notes are floral; with a fresh bouquet of sweet peas blossom lily of the valley jasmine and rose. The base notes add sensuality to the composition with accords of precious wood musk and iris.
