Try Ambre Impérial at your own pace
Van Cleef & Arpels makes Ambre Impérial, a perfume you can get to know here in a small vial. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

On the skin
Our record for Ambre Impérial stops at brand and name. Notes, families and seasons are left out here because we cannot verify them. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
For now, Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial can only be asked for. The form on this page records your interest in this perfume, and we make no promise about timing. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The sample is made by hand: Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
When to wear Ambre Impérial is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
Our record does not say for whom Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial was made. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Van Cleef & Arpels does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Ambre Impérial from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Van Cleef & Arpels Ambre Impérial, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Ambre Impérial as it was when we filled it.
The brand
We list 20 perfumes by Van Cleef & Arpels as samples. Each one is decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and carries our own label. You find Van Cleef & Arpels among the designer perfume samples. Trying two or three of them side by side shows what the house is about on your own skin.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
