Vivamor Parfums Vanilla Vice is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Bertrand Duchaufour and Pierre Flores. Vanilla Vice opens with Cognac and Almond, settles into a heart of Suede, Heliotrope, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Ambergris. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Vivamor Parfums's Vanilla Vice carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a rich, boozy vanilla that leans into its sensual, mysterious side. Some find it a dead ringer for YSL's Babycat, while others detect unpleasant rubbery or chemical notes. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for sure, but for those who love it, it's 'good sh*t'.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Vanilla Vice opens with a boozy embrace of cognac and bitter almond, quickly settling into a luxurious heart of soft suede and smoky incense. Heliotrope adds a delicate, powdery whisper before a deep, resonant base of vanilla, ambergris, and tonka bean takes over. It's a complex, smooth vanilla that shifts from sweet and spicy to an almost animalic undertone.
