Is Note Vanillée suitable for daytime wear at the office?+−
While primarily popular for evenings and leisure, its moderate sillage makes it wearable for business settings in cooler weather, provided it is applied lightly to avoid the boozy notes becoming too prominent.
How does the liquor note affect the overall scent profile?+−
The cognac and rum notes provide a sharp, sophisticated edge that cuts through the bourbon vanilla's sweetness, giving the fragrance a "smoky" and mature quality rather than a food-like aroma.
Does this fragrance lean more floral or more gourmand?+−
It is firmly a gourmand. While jasmine is present in the heart to provide balance and a powdery texture, it serves as a supporting note to the dominant vanilla, amber, and spice accords.
How has the scent changed since its original 2007 release?+−
Community members often celebrate the current version for maintaining the rich, boozy integrity of the original 2007 launch, noting it remains one of the more consistent "high-end" vanillas on the market.
