Absolute Vanilla Perfumed Oil 10ml

Vanille Absolue is a concentrated perfume oil with a warm gourmand vanilla and woody character. Vanilla is at the centre of the composition, complemented by rum, black pepper, tonka bean, patchouli, cashmere wood and black amber. The concentration is 95%.

Who it is for: Someone who enjoys rich vanilla fragrances with warm spices, a subtle rum nuance and a deeper woody base.

Who it is not for: It may not be the best choice if you prefer fresh citrus, green or very dry fragrances. The sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean may feel too pronounced for someone looking for a discreet and neutral composition.

Choose this if: You want a warm and rich vanilla fragrance in an oil format that can be worn alone or used to soften and enrich other fragrances.

Fragrance character: Gourmand, vanilla, warm-spicy and woody.

Intensity: Pronounced. A highly concentrated perfume oil with a rich and enveloping scent profile.

Occasion: More suitable for evenings, leisure time and situations where you want a warm and noticeable fragrance. The oil can also be used as a base to soften, enrich and deepen other fragrances.

Season: Usually better suited to autumn, winter and cooler evenings. In warm weather, begin with a small amount.

Gift suitability: A relatively safe choice for someone who enjoys sweet vanilla and gourmand fragrances. Less suitable when you are unsure whether the recipient likes pronounced sweetness.

Fragrance family: Oriental vanilla and gourmand.

Suitable for both women and men.

Scent notes: Top notes - vanilla infusion, Jamaican rum and Madagascar black pepper. Heart notes - tonka bean infusion, Indonesian patchouli and cashmere wood. Base notes - organic Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean absolute and black amber.

Inspiration: Vanilla explored in its full range, from a warm and lightly spiced opening to a deep, woody and ambered base.

Perfumer: Clément Marx

The fragrance opens with a vanilla infusion complemented by the warmth of Jamaican rum and the dry spiciness of black pepper. This combination gives the opening more energy and keeps the vanilla from feeling overly sweet or one-dimensional from the start.

At the centre, tonka bean is combined with patchouli and cashmere wood, creating a deeper, softer and more woody character. In the base, Bourbon vanilla and black amber intensify the warm and sweet side of the fragrance, while tonka bean absolute adds a smooth, subtly powdery finish.

How to use: Apply a small amount to clean skin at pulse points such as the neck or wrists. Begin sparingly and add more when needed. Wear it alone or apply it before another fragrance to give the composition a warmer, softer and more pronounced vanilla character.
