Timeline

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.

About

Vintage Vanilla opens with a striking blend of pink pepper, cumin, and nutmeg that dances on the palate, bringing warmth and spice. As it unfolds, the heart reveals delicate violet and exotic saffron, adding a floral twist to the aromatic richness. The base settles into a warm embrace of creamy vanilla smoothly intermingled with soft leather and labdanum - a luxurious finish that offers both comfort and sophistication. This fragrance evokes the feeling of a well-loved leather chair in a vintage study, perfectly suited for those who appreciate character in their scents.
