New with box. Birmane Perfume by Van Cleef Arpels, Birmane by Van Cleef Arpels came on the market in 1999. It is a sharp, flowery and feminine scent suited for casual wear. Citric top notes of bergamot, pineapple and lemon blend with the light and rosy note of rosewood for a juicy and sweet bouquet. Another top note that adds sheen and freshness to the perfume is freesia, which is known for being intensely peppery yet refreshing. The top notes meld with the middle floral notes of rose, orchid, iris and heliotrope. With heliotrope, there is a vanillic and almond aroma that brings comfort and relaxation. The base notes of vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk add to the exotic blend of scents.
