Vanille Antique

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with plum and freesia, fruity and sweet. In the heart, oud, cashmere wood, tuberose absolute and amber lay down a woody, spicy, lightly smoky base. In the dry-down, cistus and Bourbon vanilla soften everything into a resinous, gourmand warmth. Weil Suki Essence and Alkemia Fumé Oud à la Vanille have a close profile.
