Our verdict on Vanille Exquise: Favourite

This Goutal vanilla is divisive, splitting the room between those who adore its subtle elegance and those who find it too fleeting, too powdery, or even- gasp- like Play-Doh. For some, it's an exquisite, smoky dream; for others, it's just not hitting the mark. Definitely try before you buy.

Its soft sillage and gentle character make it ideal for office wear and casual settings where subtlety is key. For dates, it's romantic without being overpowering, but its lack of projection might not stand up to a formal event.

About

Vanille Exquise opens with a delicate, non-gourmand vanilla, hinting at smokiness with guaiac wood. The heart unveils a soft, powdery almond balanced by a whisper of Angelica's green, herbal touch and creamy sandalwood. White musks in the dry down ensure a clean, comforting finish that sits close to the skin, making it an airy, elegant vanilla rather than a saccharine one.
