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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a good fit for intimate settings like dates and casual wear where it can be appreciated up close. While lovely, its sweetness and depth might be a bit much for a formal office setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Vanille Orient opens with a rich, buttery vanilla that's anything but basic, hinting at something deeper and more complex. Soon, creamy sandalwood emerges, intertwined with a delicate orchid, adding a touch of floral sophistication. The dry-down settles into a warm, inviting embrace of musky amber, leaving a trail that's sweet yet grown-up, with a hint of exotic spice and an almost incense-like quality.
