Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme
Van Cleef & Arpels · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1978
A 1978 masculine chypre that broke from the fougère conventions of its era by centering a rich rose-leather accord. Its commercial success made it a reference masculine rose composition that later influenced houses from Amouage to Trussardi.
