About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Precious Oud by Van Cleef & Arpels, launched in 2011, is an Oriental Floral that opens with a bright, peppery spark of pink pepper and bergamot. The heart quickly reveals a lush, creamy tuberose laced with smoky incense and jasmine, creating a dramatic white floral core. The base is a rich, resinous blend of agarwood (oud), sandalwood, patchouli, ambergris, and vetiver, lending depth and a warm, balsamic finish. This composition suits collectors who appreciate bold, opulent florals grounded in woody, ambery warmth. It's ideal for evening wear or special occasions, and its intense sillage and longevity make it a statement scent. The interplay of tuberose and oud is particularly striking, offering a modern take on classic Oriental themes. If you enjoy fragrances like Tom Ford's Black Orchid or Amouage's Honour, this may appeal. The 2011 release captures a moment when oud was becoming a mainstream note in Western perfumery, making it a noteworthy addition to any collection.
