Rich and smoky vanilla absolute is one the most beautiful materials in perfumery. It can secretly blend behind things in a way synthetic vanilla cannot. Synthetic vanilla based fragrances are usually sugary sweet and cloying. On skin real vanilla is warm and gourmand recalling jungle vines and good times.

This is definitely an unconventional vanilla, and I think that’s why it divides opinion. This is not your light, airy, sugary vanilla — not even close! On me, it opens with a sparkling, slightly peppery sweetness that feels almost treacle-like, before settling into a deeper base of green-tinged woods, dark toffee, and a subtle liquorice-like edge. It’s rich, moody, and incredibly distinctive. In colder weather, this really shines — dark, sultry, and quietly very sexy. Some people describe it as leaning masculine, and I can see why. It does need a bit of confidence to wear, but to me it sits comfortably in unisex territory. I always feel amazing when I wear this — I absolutely love it.
