Creed Sublime Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Olivier Creed. Sublime Vanille opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk and Tonka Bean. Creed's Sublime Vanille carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sublime Vanille smells divine - a clean, airy vanilla with a zesty lemon kick. Sadly, it's also the poster child for abysmal luxury performance; don't expect it to last longer than a celebrity marriage. Prepare to reapply endlessly or embrace its fleeting beauty.

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.

When To Wear

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its intimate sillage and short longevity make it perfect for office wear or casual settings where strong projection isn't desired. While lovely, it lacks the oomph for a grand formal event and isn't quite suited for active sports due to its gentle nature.

About

Opening with a bright burst of bergamot and lemon, Sublime Vanille quickly mellows into a delicate dance of soft, creamy vanilla and hints of white jasmine. The dry down introduces a gentle, powdery musk underpinned by the almond-like sweetness of tonka bean, creating an elegant, non-gourmand vanilla experience that feels both ethereal and refined, reminiscent of a lemon chiffon pie, not overly sweet.
