Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
To start, this is a 10/10. If you’re looking for vanilla with other nuances, this isn’t for you; there are hundreds of such options. But if you want pure vanilla, with an angelic, delicate, and opulent fusion, this is the one for you. It’s a natural vanilla absolute, as if created by God, with powdery, ambered, and musky transitions that don’t steal the show. The vanilla takes centre stage, linear and rich—something only Guerlain knows how to do well. The only one that comes close is Blue Vanille by Henry Jacques, but it costs double. No other vanilla can compete with this masterpiece. It’s slightly feminine due to its delicacy, but I, being a man, love it; scent doesn’t define your gender. Rise and applaud this divine vanilla that has no rival.
To my nose, it’s vanilla with rosewood and a hint of incense, giving it a dark, nocturnal, and mysterious air. The composition quality is top-notch, it lasts a long time, and has moderate sillage. It’s unisex, though it leans slightly towards the feminine side. It’s a beautiful perfume, although the price is astronomical for a vanilla.
What a beautiful vanilla. It’s not pastry-like or overly sweet, but rather dry bean and spiced, with a touch of pepper and that opoponax note that makes it soapy, plus the amber that gives it depth. It’s not for everyone or something to buy blindly, even if you adore the note. It’s distinct from all the vanillas I’ve tried. Less accessible than this house’s SDV. Totally unisex.
