La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Flamboyante de Bourbon is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2021. Vanille Flamboyante de Bourbon opens with Night-Blooming Jasmine, Rose, Honey, and Plum, settles into a heart of Geranium and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. La Maison de la Vanille's Vanille Flamboyante de Bourbon carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is divisive; some find it a delightful, rich vanilla floral, while others are put off by a prominent 'wet rose' note. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, though the romantic and sweet profile leans more towards evening and social events than a busy office. It's too rich and warm for sport, but elegant enough for formal settings.

About

Opens with a sweet and slightly boozy burst of plum and honey, intertwined with a noticeable rose and a touch of night-blooming jasmine. The heart introduces a soft, creamy floral blend of ylang-ylang and geranium, softening the initial richness. The dry-down settles into a comforting base of smooth vanilla, warm sandalwood, and a clean musk, leaving a pleasant, lingering sweetness.
