Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Precious Oud Eau (tester with cap)

This exquisite eau de parfum showcases a luxurious and elegant blend of spicy and tangy oriental notes with floral undertones. Its name signifies that the fragrance is dedicated to one of the most popular components in modern perfumery—agarwood. The renowned Amandine Marie, while crafting her latest masterpiece, has managed to reimagine the natural essence of oud wood, highlighting it with a magical floral accent.

The composition opens with hints of pink pepper and bergamot. In a moment, the heart notes unfold, more intense and vibrant compared to the moderate opening chord—featuring tuberose with jasmine and incense. As the "heart" notes transition, a warm and sensual trail emerges, composed of the subtle tones of agarwood, sandalwood, and vetiver, amber, and patchouli.

TESTER is a demonstration version of the fragrance, provided by manufacturers as part of a product batch for promotional purposes at the point of sale. Please note that there are no differences (such as scent quality, longevity, etc.) between a tester and the retail version! The only distinction is that since testers are produced for advertising purposes, the manufacturer may not focus as much on their presentation: they are offered in what is known as technical packaging (a simple cardboard box differing from the retail bottle packaging) and often do not come with a cap. Hence, testers are priced lower.
