Our verdict on Vanille Planifolia 21: Acquired

Prepare for a rich, smoky vanilla, but brace yourself for the price tag. Vanille Planifolia is a divisive scent: some hail it as the ultimate vanilla, others as wildly overpriced and overhyped. Sample first, unless you've money to burn.

About

Guerlain Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 presents a deeply rich, smoky vanilla, elevated by an amber glow that swathes the senses in luxurious warmth. Spicy nuances weave through the composition, hinting at cloves and opoponax, while a soft musk lends a sophisticated, powdery dry-down. It's a complex, textured vanilla, far removed from the overly sweet, dessert-like gourmands, offering a mature and refined indulgence.
