Our verdict on Montaigne Vanille: Favourite

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a classy rose-vanilla head-turner, a dupe for pricier niche, while others find it a cloying, 'old lady' horror show with no trace of vanilla. Proceed with caution and definitely don't blind buy.

Its pronounced rose and vanilla, combined with reports of strong projection, make it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and romantic character makes it well-suited for date nights and formal events, appealing to those who enjoy a bold floral-vanilla statement.

About

Montaigne Vanille kicks off with a zesty lemon, quickly giving way to a dominant, bright Turkish rose. As it settles, a sweet, creamy vanilla emerges, though some find it plays second fiddle to the floral heart. A touch of musky cedar grounds the scent, adding a hint of earthy depth to the otherwise sweet and floral composition.
