Blossom Perfumery 480 Vanilla Diorama is an Eau de Parfum. 480 Vanilla Diorama opens with Lemon, Orange, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Cardamom, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Blossom Perfumery's 480 Vanilla Diorama carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

No.480 recreates Dior Vanilla Diorama's boozy rum-cocoa-cardamom heart over bourbon vanilla almost note for note, but the finished blend is noticeably less refined, with a flatter, sweeter vanilla that skips the original's dessert-like nuance.

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

Dior Vanilla Diorama built its reputation on a gourmand vanilla that never tips into simple sweetness, layering rum, cocoa and cardamom over a bourbon vanilla base inspired by the Diorama dessert served at Maxim's. No.480 uses the same note structure - orange, pink pepper and lemon up top, then rum, cocoa and cardamom warming into vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli - and the resemblance is genuinely close on paper. In practice, the dupe leans sweeter and less textured than the original, missing some of the boozy, slightly bitter cocoa edge that keeps Dior's version from feeling one-note. It still delivers a cosy, linear vanilla experience well suited to cold-weather evenings, and performs respectably for several hours before fading to a soft vanilla-musk finish. A fair budget option for anyone drawn to the rum-cocoa-vanilla gourmand genre, even if it trades some of the original's polish for a simpler, sweeter profile.
