Product Information
Van Cleef & Arpels | Tsar Eau de Toilette (200ml)
Tsar is a towering icon of masculine perfumery, first launched in 1989. Created by perfumer Philippe Bousseton, it is a definitive "Power Fragrance" from the late 80s, belonging to the Woody Aromatic (specifically the Woody Chypre/Fougère) family. The 200ml "Grand Format" bottle is a rare find today, representing a time when fragrances were as bold and expansive as the men who wore them.
The Olfactory Architecture
Tsar is famous for its "dense forest" profile—a complex, multi-layered composition that feels green, sharp, and impeccably groomed.
The Verdant Opening: The fragrance begins with an explosion of green notes. Artemisia, Coriander, Lavender, Bergamot, and Rosemary create a crisp, herbal freshness that is bracing and sophisticated.
The Spicy Heart: As the greenery settles, the heart reveals a rugged, spicy floral blend. Pine Tree Needles, Caraway, and Juniper Berries are balanced by Geranium and Jasmine, giving the scent a structured, "barbershop-plus" complexity.
The Aristocratic Base: The dry down is deep and resonant. Oakmoss, Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli create a dark, woody foundation that lasts for hours, leaving a trail of authority and elegance.
The 200ml "Mega" Bottle
The 200ml edition of Tsar is a physical testament to the era of excess and luxury.
The Design: The bottle is instantly recognizable for its deep, translucent emerald green glass, reflecting the forest-like nature of the scent. Its ribbed, architectural texture is reminiscent of Art Deco pillars.
The Presence: In a 200ml format, the bottle carries significant weight and serves as a centerpiece. It features the classic gold-toned spray collar and a sleek black or matching green cap.
The "Unicorn" Status: Since Van Cleef & Arpels discontinued Tsar, the 200ml bottles have become highly sought-after collector's items, valued for both the volume of the juice and the nostalgic "premium" feel of the oversized flacon.
Technical Profile
Volume: 200ml / 6.7 fl. oz.
Concentration: Eau de Toilette (though it performs with the strength of many modern EDPs).
Vibe: Commanding, classic, green, and mature.
Sillage: Strong and assertive.
