Alexandria Fragrances Splendid Vanille is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Splendid Vanille opens with Orchid and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Bergamot, and Lemon. Alexandria Fragrances's Splendid Vanille carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one is a real slow-burner: initially, some find the citrus harsh or 'kitchen cleaner', but give it time to calm. Once it settles, you're looking at a well-balanced vanilla with excellent longevity. Don't expect huge projection, but it's a solid, affordable option.

About

Splendid Vanille opens with a vibrant, almost sharp burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly joined by the creamy, sweet richness of vanilla and a hint of exotic orchid. As the initial citrus mellows, a warm, inviting tonka bean note emerges, blending seamlessly with the powdery musk in the drydown. The overall impression is a delightful vanilla, brightened by citrus and grounded by a soft, comforting base.
