The Scoop

With Orchidée Vanille, Van Cleef & Arpels reminds us that the vanilla bean is the fruit of an exotic flower. Perfumer Randa Hammami heightens the seductively gourmand qualities of vanilla by blending in a hint of almond and chocolate, then brightening the fragrance with litchi. Balancing this mouthwatering composition is Orchidée Vanille's refined heart of Bulgarian rose and violet. The resulting fragrance has all the elegance you'd expect of Van Cleef & Arpels presented with warmth and openness.

Orchidée Vanille's subtle, yet almost edible quality makes it the perfect fragrance for romance, but still approachable enough for daily wear. Its floral aspects lighten it enough for warm weather, but Orchidée Vanille's gourmand edge lends it the body to wear well in cool weather, too. Just a drop of Orchidée Vanille is all you need for people to lean in, breathe deeply, and smile, saying, "You smell good enough to eat."

Here's what other people are saying about Orchidee Vanille...

My favorite vanilla scent of all time! It's the perfect balance of sticky, syrupy vanilla with lush, exotic florals. I wear this year round and while it's probably not going to make any list for the sexiest scents for women, I feel incredibly sexy when I wear this. It's an empowering scent that feels luscious and perhaps humid in the warmer months but cozy and festive in the colder months. One of my friends is obsessed with this and every time I wear it, she hugs me and tells me I smell like a sexy cookie. It's not overly gourmand but VC&A gets it *just* right.

I have been wearing this perfume at least 5 days a week for years. I love this perfume, it is the perfect blend of a sweet almost caramel top note with some wonderful complexity. I love this perfume! It doesn't have great longevity in my opinion (I stop smelling it after about 2 hours), but other people will continue to compliment me the day. At two spritz per day, I am on my fourth bottle!

Super gorgeous. Soft yet intoxicating. Beautiful slightly floral vanilla. It's sweet but the floral and fruity notes add a freshness to it and prevent it from being too heavy. Lasts quite well. 4 stars as I wish the sillage was a little better. I'll be going for a full bottle purchase with this one!

This is SO close to getting it right. I really love the warmth and sweetness of this but there's something very powdery about it. I wish it were smoother.

This is a beautiful fragrance. Soft and romantic however I do not think it warrants a $185 price tag. I have smelled many fragrances that smell just as good as this at a much lower price. Though I like it I would NEVER buy it at $185. WAY overpriced in my opinion.

If you were to ever make a blind vanilla cent buy, this would be the one! This is so beautiful, deep, warm and comforting. It is not linear, but not super complex. It is gorgeous and FBW for me come tax time!

Very beautiful and jewel-like when you first open it. Edible Sweet Flowers slowly calm down to warm scent, and finally, on skin finishes rather with plain but subtle and lovely vanilla.

By Sensitive Nose - from New York on 1/19/2012

Very pretty, very sweet, and to me it also seems VERY light - i can barely detect it!

Love, love :)

I received a sample of Orchidee Vanille recently and had put it aside thinking orchids and vanilla sounded strange. Silly me! I put some on the back of my hand this evening and was floored at how good it smells. I cannot get enough of it. Absolutely beautiful! Yes, it's very sweet, but that's just the way I like it. I would be ecstatic had I not just had to pay $185 for a bottle. Couldn't live without this one though.

By Victoria on 5/6/2011

Very warm and sweet. Smells good but would not buy it.

By Darcie on 1/15/2011

Beautiful fragrance. Pretty powdery so be wise of that. Light but wafts around you and makes you feel gorgeous. Very ladylike, a bit overpriced for what it is. Intriguing though.

By Kayliana - from Tampa, Fl on 3/2/2010

Lovely fragrance, my husband liked it a lot, it is a warm "close to the skin fragrance". It is a really nice complex scent and comforting to wear.
