Vilhelm Parfumerie To My Father is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. To My Father settles into a heart of Cade, Whisky, and Cabreuva, and dries down to a base of Oak and Leather. Vilhelm Parfumerie's To My Father carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's divisive, but if you're after a boozy, woody leather with serious gravitas, you're in for a treat. Definitely not a blind buy - some say it's a masterpiece of nostalgic warmth, others reckon it's an old man's whisky breath. Try before you commit.

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

To My Father opens with a rich, boozy dash of whisky, not overly sweet but deeply aromatic, quickly entwining with dry, smoky cade and a subtle, green cabreuva. As it settles, a well-worn leather emerges, grounded by the earthy, robust warmth of oak. It's a journey from a contemplative sip of fine Scotch to the embrace of an aged study.
