Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Spiritueuse Double Vanille opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Incense, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Benzoin. Guerlain's Spiritueuse Double Vanille carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is Guerlain's legendary vanilla, but it's a divisive one. Many find it exquisite, a rich and boozy dream, while others rage about its weak performance and high price. You might love it, or you might find yourself anosmic to its charms entirely. Sample first, and pray your nose isn't broken.

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.

Spiritueuse Double Vanille is an intimate fragrance, perfect for close encounters like dates where its subtle projection is an asset. Its rich, warm nature and luxurious feel make it suitable for formal settings and dressed-up casual wear, but its intimacy and cost mean it's not well-suited for the office or sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Spiritueuse Double Vanille opens with a fleeting citrus-spice kick from bergamot and pink pepper, quickly giving way to an intoxicating heart of rich, deep vanilla. Benzoin and a hint of incense lend a smoky, balsmaic depth, preventing it from veering into overly sweet territory. A subtle woody cedar note underpins the vanilla, finishing this sophisticated, boozy gourmand.
