Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s unisex, refined, and long-lasting. While vanilla takes the lead, it doesn’t smell like dessert: it’s sweet yet fresh, with a note that at first seems like liquor (probably the plum). Reminds me of Valaya and Angels Share. I don’t wear it daily, but it’s that perfume for when you want to show your best self 😜
It’s not Eau Duelle, but it gives the same vibe: a vanilla forest, dried leaves, orange, brown, and golden tones, wood, and resin. It’s special; I wouldn’t buy it blindly, but it’s worth trying. I choose perfumes based on the emotions they evoke: Vanille Antique is the calm of reading a book leaning against an old tree, in your favorite sweater.
This is class, luxury, and refinement. A brutal vanilla that I feel is very boozy, even though it doesn’t declare alcohol. Elegant, classic, and fine. Tremendous perfume 😍
This vanilla smells like ‘powerful person’ (according to my boyfriend). It’s ambered, spiced, elegant, and well-balanced; it works for any day, but it’s very queen-like for going out. Projection lasts 2-3 hours before fading to skin scent, but it’s noticeable until 8-10 PM.
A vanilla that doesn’t smell like dessert: it’s essential, ambered, and smells like old paper (I can’t quite explain that note). The name fits perfectly; it takes you to other times. I liked it.
I loved this vintage vanilla offer: potent and long-lasting. Note: if you’re looking for something super sweet and gourmand, this isn’t for you. It’s very woody, with plum at the start, semi-ambered, and very warm when dried; it comforts me. It’s exactly what I expected from Replica’s “Whispers in the Library” (which didn’t work on me). Smells like fine library wood and luxury room spray. Very selective. If I’m looking for something similar, I’d say “Cairo” by Penhaligon’s, but Vanille Antique is more wearable and longer-lasting. Absolutely unisex. Compared to Boucheron’s Ambre d’Alexandrie, it’s worlds apart: Boucheron’s is incredibly sweet and leans gourmand. Not ideal for blind buys; I recommend trying it first. It was lucky for me, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
It seems like they created it to sour your existence. It has a note that irritates me a lot; it smells like ammonia. When I smell it, I imagine a fetid swamp with a monster waiting to emerge. Definitely not for me.
