Le Labo Vanille 44 Paris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Alberto Morillas. Vanille 44 Paris opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Incense, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood. Le Labo's Vanille 44 Paris carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Prepare for a chic, understated vanilla experience with Vanille 44, though be warned: its elusive character and steep price tag are a constant source of debate. It's a love-it-or-find-it-frustrating kind of scent, divisive amongst those seeking a more traditional vanilla.

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

Vanille 44 opens with a bright, fleeting whisper of mandarin and bergamot, quickly softening into a sophisticated, airy vanilla. Guaiac wood and aldehydes add a clean, almost powdery depth, while a delicate incense weave lends a smoky, old-world charm that's miles away from any gourmand sweetness. It settles into a warm, intimate skin scent, a luxurious second skin rather than a loud declaration.
