Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Ambre Vanille opens with Orchid and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Brown Sugar, Heliotrope, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Coconut. Laura Mercier's Ambre Vanille carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This revamped favourite is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, subtle gourmand, while others are gutted it's not a patch on the original. Expect a gentle, clean sweetness, but don't hold your breath for beast-mode performance.

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.

Its gentle sillage and clean, inoffensive profile make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual wear. However, its understated nature means it won't shine for formal events or demanding physical activity.

About

Ambre Vanille opens with a fleeting burst of bright tangerine before settling into a creamy, comforting heart of sweet almond, brown sugar, and powdery heliotrope. The dry down is a soft, inviting blend of coconut and sandalwood, evoking a cosy, skin-like warmth. It's a sweet, gourmand-leaning scent, but with an airy, clean finish.
