Orchid Leather
Spirit
Magnificent essences, noble ingredients… Now Van Cleef & Arpels is venturing into a new olfactory territory with the release of Orchid Leather, its first fragrance with accents of leather. Botanical and textured, this surprising leather is born from the unprecedented blend of two iconic perfume ingredients: cistus and vanilla pod.
Nature is full of surprises… Each in their own way, these plant ingredients reveal sensual, animalistic accents. Combined, they create an irresistible impression of leather unlike any other.
Named in honour of the precious orchid that produces the vanilla pod, Orchid Leather takes us on an imaginary journey.

The intention
“To create the first leather in the Collection Extraordinaire, I decided to approach this classic note in a different way, by exploring the subtle leathery accents of plants. I immediately selected cistus, which comprises an exquisite musky, leathery note. Vanilla absolute then emerged as an obvious choice, with its spicy, slightly animalistic inflections that recall warm leather.”
