Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Oud Blanc Eau de Parfum Spray

Surround yourself with the elegant aroma of Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Oud Blanc, an oriental-woody Eau de Parfum for women inspired by the colour white.

Oud Blanc is a transparent and crystalline scent; it opens with a sweet, sugary date note, before welcoming the star of the show, oud, in the heart. Oud envelopes the senses as it blends with tender rose and cool incense before a creamy base of cosy vanilla and sensual white musk envelop the skin.

The Story Behind Oud Blanc

Oud Blanc reimagines the legendary perfume note of Oud Wood. As part of the Matiere Blanche collection, this perfume represents the feel and texture of the colour white. When creating the stunning collection, Anne Flipo was inspired by the billowing white smoke created by burnt oud.

Smells Similar To

When we spray it, we think of melted white chocolate.

As part of the Collection Extraordinaire, Van Cleef & Arpels’s Santal Blanc Eau de Parfum also centres around the crisp, clean theme of white; although its fragrance notes are different to Blanc Oud, it features a similar note structure that creates a creamy tone.

About Oud Blanc’s Bottle

Ever-so-elegant and simplistic, the Oud Blanc bottle captures the theme of white perfectly. Known to represent purity and softness, the classy snow-white hue of the flacon is undeniably minimalistic, while still sophisticated. The only dashes of colour are the name of the scent itself, and the signature VCA tag around the neck.

Why We Love It

If you’re looking for a fragrance that captures the subtlety of the colour white, this is it. From the name (which translates to white oud) to the colour of the bottle; and even the inclusion of white musks, this fragrance epitomises the colour.

By focusing on a simplistic, minimalist colour and design, it allows the fragrance to shine through even more. And rightfully so, as the pure, luminous and dreamy scent speaks for itself.
