Van Cleef & Arpels Previous Oud edp review

Pictured: Van Cleef & Arpels Precious Oud edp / pink nail polish /

Is there anything more luxurious and mysterious than oud? I think not! There are several oud-based fragrances available, but Precious Oud edp from Van Cleef & Arpels wins the oud competition; if there is one.

As with all Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances, the notes smell fresh and rich. I have had this bottle for several years, which is why it is not full, and despite being a few years old, it still smells as fresh as the day I purchased it. Van Cleef & Arpels uses quality ingredients resulting in a clean, smooth, and ideal fragrance experience. Love that!

Top notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper

Middle Notes: Jasmine, Incense, Tuberose

Base notes: Pachouli, Oud, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Ambergris

I love the warm and spicy fragrance experience from Percious Oud edp. It is perfect for the fall, winter, and spring seasons. It can also be worn on cooler summer days when the fog rolls in. Love!

So, if you are looking for a new fragrance for fall, this timeless scent is perfect! Five out of five stars!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I hope you are looking forward to this relaxing, three day weekend where we can enjoy the last bits of summer. As we move towards fall, this is a great time to shop your closet for the fall season and clear out items you no longer wear or have a need for.

The fall 2025 season is all about timeless chic. The anonymous handbag, dark fall nail polish, shades of mocha, chocolate brown, and soft fabrications such as suede are hotter than hot for the autumn months.

Stay tuned as we dive into the fall season here on the blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall 2025 continues to be able soft silhouettes, autumn hues, and timeless style. Love! So, for my fall 2025 handbag capsule wardrobe, I am continuing to wear my favorite handbags in various sizes in order to ensure I have something for every occasion.

Suede continues to be hot for fall, so this suede tote and mini bag are perfect for when I need to carry everything and the kitchen sink, or when I barely need anything with me. Also, this black east/west bag is a handbag I find myself reaching for almost every day. It’s the perfect size and comfortable to wear. Love that!

My caramel top handle bag and belted tote are also great sizes for everyday wear, and they elevate even the most casual outfit. Love them both!

Lastly, this high-shine black hobo bag is fabulous for evenings out, and its flat width makes it easy to hide underneath my napkin at a restaurant. Love that!
