Theodoros Kalotinis Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Theodoros Kalotinis. Vanilla opens with Caramel, settles into a heart of Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Theodoros Kalotinis's Vanilla carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is truly divisive: a vanilla fragrance that's less about sweet gourmand fluff and more about earthy, almost savoury depth. You'll either love its biscuit-y, patchouli-laden uniqueness or hate its un-vanilla artificiality.

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

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but the strong gourmand and earthy elements lean it more towards casual or date settings. While some find it suitable for the office, its unique and sometimes polarising scent profile might be better suited for less formal environments.

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

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 opens with a sharp, buttery caramel note, quickly evolving into a unique vanilla heart that many describe as a baked biscuit or sugar cookie. The journey culminates in a prominent patchouli base, which steers the fragrance away from typical sweet gourmand territory, adding an earthy, woody, and at times herbaceous quality. It’s a warm, complex take on vanilla, not a straightforward sugary treat.
