Vanille Antique in detail
Byredo, the house founded in Stockholm by Ben Gorham, devotes Vanille Antique, an extrait from its Night Veils range, to Madagascar vanilla. The house does not publish its family; Volute classes it among amber fragrances.
The official pyramid opens with fresh, peppery freesia and fruity plum. The heart gathers warm amber and soft, woody cashmere woods. The base pairs Madagascar vanilla beans with cistus oil, rendered as resinous, slightly leathery cistus labdanum.
Vanille Antique is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter. It is an ambery, resinous vanilla rather than a pastry one, made fruity by plum; it will appeal to lovers of deep vanillas and suits a dinner or a winter evening.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Honey Oud by Floris brings together amber, cistus labdanum and vanilla; Ouverture by Xerjoff pairs amber, cashmere wood and vanilla; Rouge Smoking by BDK Parfums combines vanilla, cashmere wood and cistus labdanum.
