Alexandria Fragrances Fatal de Vanille is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. Fatal de Vanille opens with Orange, Lime, Saffron, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Barley, Rose, Narcissus, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Suede, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Mahogany. Alexandria Fragrances's Fatal de Vanille carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

If you're after a Tom Ford experience without the stratospheric price tag, this spot-on clone delivers. Be warned though, some find the vanilla takes a backseat to the rich tobacco-myrrh combo, making it surprisingly divisive for a 'vanilla' scent.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Fatal de Vanille opens with a vibrant, spicy hit of saffron and coriander, brightened by a squeeze of citrus, quickly ushering in a resinous, smoky myrrh and frankincense. The heart warms with a sophisticated blend of rose and coffee, deepened by rich plum and exotic frangipani. As it settles, a luxurious base of creamy vanilla, soft suede, and tobacco emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli and mahogany, creating a thick, enveloping scent.
