The creation of the brand VAN CLEEF & ARPELS can be considered a happy coincidence, but we prefer to call it a fairy tale. It is the result of one person’s love for another and a shared love for craftsmanship.
Everything began with the royal marriage of Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef. They both came from families of jewelers, and this event marked not only the union of destinies but also the merger of two successful jewelry empires.
Thus, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS was founded. The couple handled financial and accounting matters, while other family members selected and processed precious stones, creating true masterpieces from them. VAN CLEEF & ARPELS fragrances are also rightfully considered jewels. They are scents of femininity and luxury, self-love, and love for the surrounding world.
Many perfumes are considered benchmarks, and VAN CLEEF & ARPELS is an inspiration for talented perfumers around the world. The recently released line of men’s fragrances is in no way inferior to the women’s collection. They emphasize status and excellent taste. They are true objects of luxury.
