Van Cleef & Arpels Thé Amara – Fragrance Review

Thé Amara by Van Cleef & Arpels, was introduced in 2023, as a unisex Eau de Parfum that captures the serene essence of a morning stroll through a lush tea plantation. Part of the brand's esteemed Collection Extraordinaire, this fragrance is a harmonious blend of green freshness and delicate florals, offering a tranquil yet invigorating olfactory experience.

This composition unfolds with a refreshing burst of bergamot and peppermint, accented by the subtle spice of pink pepper. Then the heart reveals a delicate bouquet of rose and sweet pea, leading to a soft, musky base enriched with cashmeran and cedarwood.

Olfactory Experience

Thé Amara opens with a crisp and invigorating blend of citrus and mint, evoking the freshness of dew-kissed leaves at dawn. As it settles, the floral heart emerges, offering a gentle sweetness that is both comforting and elegant. The dry-down is smooth and enveloping, with musky and woody undertones that linger subtly on the skin.

Performance

Longevity: Moderate, lasting approximately 5–6 hours
