Montale Chypre Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Pierre Montale. Chypre Vanille opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Amber, Vanilla, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Iris, and Tonka Bean. Montale's Chypre Vanille carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Seriously divisive yet uniquely gorgeous - a complex, warm, and sophisticated vanilla that completely sidesteps the gourmand trap. If you appreciate a deep, smoky-powdery scent, this is a must-try. Expect to love it or hate it, just make sure to test it on skin.

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.

About

Opens with a fleeting, sharp rose that quickly settles into a rich, smoky heart of amber, vanilla, and incense. This isn't your average sweet vanilla - it's deeply oriental, grounded by powdery iris and earthy vetiver. The fragrance evolves into a smooth, nuanced blend, with sandalwood adding a creamy warmth and tonka bean providing a subtly sweet, balsamic finish.
