Van Cleef & Arpels

13 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Van Cleef & Arpels range is made of

Across the 13 Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are bergamot (38%), tonka bean (31%), neroli (31%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads warmer than the catalogue as a whole: warmth averages 0.54 against 0.51 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

The Van Cleef & Arpels range spreads 0.101 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2016.
