Yves Rocher Clea is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1980, created by Françoise Caron. Clea settles into a heart of Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Yves Rocher's Clea carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A divisive classic, Clea is either a masterful blend of vintage aldehydes and creamy florals or a soapy, old-fashioned scrubber that evokes grandma's dusty wardrobe. You'll either adore its refined, comforting embrace or find it utterly antiquated.

About

Imagine a rich white floral bouquet, led by jasmine and ylang-ylang, softened by lily of the valley and rose. Aldehydes provide a sparkling, soapy lift that fades into a warm, inviting base of amber, creamy sandalwood, and a touch of earthy patchouli and vetiver. A whisper of vanilla adds a gentle sweetness, creating a complex yet comforting aura that lingers.
