The Essence Vault Vanilla S*x - 967 is an Eau de Parfum. Vanilla S*x - 967 opens with Vanilla and Almond, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. The Essence Vault's Vanilla S*x - 967 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A softer, less resinous take on Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex - the creamy vanilla-almond-sandalwood idea comes through, but the composition is flatter and fades faster than the original's rich, skin-warm drydown.

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

No. 967 goes for the sensual, dessert-adjacent vanilla that made Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex a favourite, opening with a rich vanilla-and-almond duo that reads sweet and creamy. The sandalwood-driven heart is where the two fragrances line up most closely, delivering a smooth, woody warmth, though it's simpler and less multifaceted than the original's layered sandalwood work. The musk-and-amber base is pleasant but lighter and shorter-lived than Tom Ford's noticeably rich, projecting drydown, settling into a soft skin-scent within a few hours. A good introduction to the vanilla-sandalwood genre for anyone not ready to commit to designer pricing.
