Van Cleef & Arpels Bois D'iris 75ml EDP for Women

Van Cleef & Arpels is a French luxury jewellery, watch, and perfume company. It was founded in 1896 by Alfred Van Cleef and his father-in-law Salomon Arpels in Paris. Their pieces often feature flowers, animals, and fairies, and have been worn by style icons such as Grace Kelly, Farah Pahlavi, Eva Per n, Elizabeth Taylor, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Nazli of Egypt. Alfred Van Cleef and his father-in-law, Salomon Arpels, founded the company in 1896. In 1906, following Arpelss death, Alfred and two of his brothers-in-law, Charles and Julien, acquired space for Van Cleef & Arpels at 22 Place Vend´me, across from the H´tel Ritz, where Van Cleef & Arpels opened its first boutique shop. The third Arpels brother, Louis Arpels, joined the company in 1913. Van Cleef & Arpels opened boutiques in holiday resorts such as Deauville, Vichy, Le Touquet, Nice, and Monte-Carlo.

In 1925, a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet with red and white roses fashioned from rubies and diamonds won the grand prize at the International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts. Alfred and Esthers daughter, Rene (born Rachel) Puissant, assumed the company's artistic direction in 1926. Puissant worked closely with draftsman Ren Sim Lacaze for the next twenty years. Van Cleef & Arpels were the first French jewellers to open boutiques in Japan and China. Compagnie Financire Richemont S.A. acquired the firm in 1999. In 1966, Van Cleef & Arpels was charged with the task of making the crown of Empress Farah Pahlavi for her upcoming coronation in 1967. A team was sent to Iran to choose the major gems to use for the crown. After 11 months of work, the company presented the empress with a crown made of emerald velvet set with 36 emeralds, 36 rubies, 105 pearls and 1,469 diamonds. Van Cleef & Arpels was charged with the task of making the crown of Queen Nazli of Egypt in the 1930s.
