Our verdict on Vanille Noire: Favourite

This isn't your average saccharine vanilla. Vanille Noire is a complex, woody interpretation that’s divisive; some find it a sophisticated, natural vanilla dream, others are left wanting more ‘noir’ or complain of poor performance. Definitely don't expect a gourmand.

Its intimate sillage and modest longevity make it suitable for close encounters rather than demanding attention, perfect for casual wear or dates. The refined vanilla and woody accords give it a relaxed elegance, but its lack of projection means it won't shine in a formal setting.

About

Vanille Noire opens with a delicate whisper of mandarin, quickly layered with the true star of the show: a deep, woody vanilla. Mimosa and orange blossom add a soft, powdery floral elegance, preventing any cloying sweetness, while cedar anchors the scent, lending a slightly smoky, almost boozy depth. It dries down to a comforting, sophisticated vanilla that’s far from edible.
