Our verdict on of the Missions: Favourite

A legendary, warm vanilla with a cult following and a tragic discontinuation story. Widely praised as a natural, boozy vanilla extract, it's adored for its comforting, sophisticated aroma-if you can still find it for a decent price. Often described as a 'masterpiece'.

Formal

Its intimate sillage and comforting vanilla make it perfect for casual wear and dates. While its 'cologne' label suggests lightness, some find it too sweet or present for a high-formality office, but it's generally versatile enough for most settings where close contact is appreciated.

About

Of the Missions opens with a comforting, boozy vanilla that quickly melds with balsamic resins. Myrrh and benzoin lend a smoky, almost churchy depth, while a dry cedar note grounds the sweetness. Hints of green tea provide a subtle, almost herbal brightness, preventing the vanilla from becoming cloying. It's a rich, enveloping scent that dries down to a soft, warm, and naturally sweet vanilla skin scent.
