Byredo Vanille Antique is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Vanille Antique opens with Musk and Plum, settles into a heart of Woody and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Byredo's Vanille Antique carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This isn't your average vanilla; it's a deep dive into an olfactory antique shop. Loved by many for its unique, non-gourmand take, though some find it weirdly metallic or too austere. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its potent projection and distinct, 'antique' character make it a bit much for most office environments, though it could work for a creative setting. It truly shines for dates and evening events, offering a sensual, sophisticated aura. While suitable for casual wear in cooler weather, it leans too rich for sport.

About

Vanille Antique opens with the intriguing sweetness of dark plum warmed by a subtle, animalic musk. This quickly transitions to a heart of rich, balsamic labdanum and dry, aged woods, evoking the scent of an old library or well-loved antique furniture. The base reveals a complex amber and a non-sugary vanilla, settling into a long-lasting, sophisticated warmth that's both cosy and commanding, avoiding any cloying sweetness.
