Gourmet Vanille Absolue is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024. Vanille Absolue opens with Lemon, Orange, Vanilla, and Apple, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Gourmand, and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Gourmet's Vanille Absolue carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

A musky, cake-like vanilla that's undeniably intriguing but might keep you guessing. It's a sweet, gourmand experience with a curious edge that some will adore and others might find a little too odd for commitment.

Given its sweet, gourmand, and musky profile, this scent is ideal for date nights and casual wear where its unique character can shine without overwhelming. While its creamy musk offers some versatility, the strong gourmand aspect makes it less suitable for formal events and sports, and only moderately appropriate for an office environment.

About

Vanille Absolue opens with a burst of bright, sweet citrus from orange and lemon, quickly joined by a juicy apple note. This fruity introduction swiftly melts into a creamy, almost edible gourmand heart, where a prominent ambrette lends a unique muskiness. The base reveals a comforting blend of soft cashmeran, warm sandalwood, and amber, all enveloped in a persistent, powdery vanilla that lingers with a sensual, clean musk.
