Van Cleef & Arpels 2013 EDT
Rose Velours
Van Cleef & Arpels Rose Velours is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Antoine Maisondieu. Rose Velours opens with Bergamot and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Ambroxan, and Benzoin. Van Cleef & Arpels's Rose Velours carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
This is a stunning, sophisticated rose that is loved by many for its unique blend of notes, but some find it a bit too subtle or fleeting. If you want a bold, head-turning rose, look elsewhere. If you're after a romantic, honeyed floral that stays close, this is a winner.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and winter pair best.
Best Occasions
Its moderate sillage and elegant, refined profile make it suitable for a variety of settings, from office to formal events, without being overpowering. The romantic and sensual tone elevates it for date nights, while its sophisticated nature makes it less ideal for casual or energetic sporting activities.
