Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Imperial 7.5ml Miniature

Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial 7.5ml Miniature is a travel-friendly miniature of one of the warmest, most comforting fragrances in the Collection Extraordinaire. Launched in 2015 and created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ambre Impérial is a luminous, spicy amber: pink pepper and bergamot sparkle over a golden heart of amber, tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin, resting on smooth woods. This miniature is the perfect way to discover a luxury Van Cleef & Arpels fragrance, carry it with you, or gift it.

The Imperial Amber

Amber in perfumery is not a single ingredient but a warm accord, traditionally built from resins, vanilla and balsams. It has been treasured in Eastern perfumery for centuries for its glowing, enveloping richness. Van Cleef & Arpels, the high-jewellery house founded on Place Vendôme in Paris in 1906, created Ambre Impérial as a tribute to this golden material, giving it a radiant, modern twist that feels both regal and easy to wear.

What Does Ambre Impérial Smell Like?

Ambre Impérial opens with a bright, peppery sparkle from pink pepper, lifted by fresh, citrusy bergamot. This luminous start quickly melts into the golden heart: warm amber, almond-like tonka bean, smooth vanilla and balsamic benzoin create a glowing, slightly sweet and resinous warmth that feels like soft cashmere on the skin.

In the dry-down, gentle woody notes ground the sweetness, keeping it refined and balanced. Ambre Impérial is cosy without being heavy, rich without being cloying, a beautifully polished amber that suits both men and women.

Why Choose the 7.5ml Miniature?

• Travel-friendly: The compact size fits easily in a handbag, clutch or travel kit.
• Perfect for gifting: An elegant, premium gift for birthdays, Diwali, Eid and anniversaries.
• Collector's piece: Miniatures are loved by fragrance collectors for their charm and variety.

When to Wear Ambre Impérial

Ambre Impérial is at its best in autumn and winter, on evenings out, at festive gatherings and anytime you want a warm, comforting scent. Its balanced sweetness also makes it a lovely choice for cooler, air-conditioned offices. It is unisex, loved by men and women who enjoy amber, vanilla and spice.

How to Wear It

1. Apply to pulse points: wrists, neck and behind the ears.
2. Use on moisturised skin; amber and vanilla last longer on hydrated skin.
3. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, which can flatten the top notes.
4. Reapply lightly through the day; the miniature makes touch-ups easy on the go.
