Is Vanille 44 only available in Paris?+−
Yes, it is part of the City Exclusive collection. While it is permanently available at Le Labo boutiques in Paris, it is only released globally at other Le Labo locations and their website once a year, typically during the month of September.
How long does the scent last on the skin?+−
Most users report moderate longevity. While it stays on the skin for several hours, it is a discreet fragrance with soft sillage, meaning it stays close to the wearer rather than filling a room.
Is this considered a feminine or masculine vanilla?+−
It is strictly unisex. Because it avoids the typical sugary accords found in many feminine perfumes and instead uses gaiac wood and frankincense, it appeals equally to both men and women.
Does Vanille 44 smell like a typical bakery vanilla?+−
No. Thanks to the heavy presence of frankincense and gaiac wood, it smells more like high-end incense and dry timber than food. The bourbon vanilla used here is more spicy and resinous than sweet.
