Sphinx Fragrances Vanilla Azure is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024. Vanilla Azure opens with Toffee, Marshmallow, Milk, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Date, Mahonial, Musk, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Leather, Mahogany, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg. Sphinx Fragrances's Vanilla Azure carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive gourmand that swings between boozy vanilla dreams and an 'everything but the kitchen sink' woody muddle. It's either a niche upgrade or a chaotic mess, depending on your skin and nose.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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.

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

Vanilla Azure opens with a rich, almost edible sweetness of toffee, marshmallow, and creamy vanilla, softened by a hint of coconut. As it settles, a boozy rum note emerges, intertwined with juicy date and praline, before delving into a deeper, complex base. Here, a whisper of oud and musky florals blend with warm mahogany, spicy cinnamon, and a subtle leather undertone, creating a luxurious and multifaceted dry-down.
