Reve

by Nathalie Feisthauer

Van Cleef & Arpels Reve is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Reve opens with Neroli and Pear, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Peony, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Amber. Van Cleef & Arpels's Reve carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a lovely, inoffensive fruity floral that sadly struggles for originality. While some find it beautifully clean and versatile, others dismiss it as generic and forgettable. It's a safe choice, but not one that will turn heads.

Its clean, fresh, and subtle character makes it highly suitable for everyday wear and office environments where a strong scent isn't ideal. While some might find it pleasant for a casual date, its lack of statement-making qualities reduces its appropriateness for formal occasions.

About

Opening with a juicy pear and bright neroli, Reve is a fresh, clean floral from the offset. The heart blossoms with a bouquet of soft peony, delicate lily, and apricot-tinged osmanthus. It settles on a gentle base of warm sandalwood and amber, creating a smooth, subtly sweet finish that lingers close to the skin.
