Eau de Tsar (1998)
by Van Cleef & Arpels

The insertion of an excess of watery fruits, too pineapple, melon and grapefruit, an overdosage of citrus (in particular orange and mandarin) and others foolishnesses transform the original woodsy formula in a new entry among the lightweight fruity aquatics, though with a touch of taste proper of the brand itself. The lavender, the flowers and the greens are reduced in the intensity of dosage and some elements disappear at all. This one is indeed nearer to Cool Water or Light Blue Ph than to the great V&APH. Disappointing.

I think Eau du Tsar is discontinued. What bad decision of Van Cleef.
This perfume is very nice, fresh, good green, good longevity....EDTsar is different to other fresh,aquatic or citrus fragance.
I loved it when I used it some years ago. Very wearable.
Bottle and packaging not represent the product inside, but who cares....

This is a scent to try if your looking for a citrusy,grapefruit scent with a Sandalwood drydown.

A very comfortable Cologne for casual use any time day or night.

It won,t turn eyes,but it won,t wrinkle noses,either.

The scent itself is not bad at all but it lacks originality as it seems to ride on the same wave like Davidoffs Goodlife.
