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.

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
Also Works:
Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's a good choice for dates, where its boozy, sensual character shines. It's a bit too bold for most office environments but works well for casual evening wear. Its rich, sweet profile makes it less suited for formal events or sport.

About

Vanilla Amber Bourbon opens with an intriguing fruity sweetness, which many find akin to a sophisticated jam or even cranberry, despite the listed notes. This quickly mellows into a rich, boozy vanilla heart, where the bourbon note is undeniably present and adds a grown-up, indulgent quality. The base reveals a warm, creamy amber, blending seamlessly with the vanilla for a smooth, lingering dry-down. It's a comforting yet sensual experience.
