Year: 1997
Notes: aniseed, violet, jasmine, patchouli, vanilla, musk,
Possessing a prominent spiciness, Vanille is a straightforward vanilla that isn't too candy sweet.
With floral flourishes and a musky drydown, the patchouli adds a subtle woodiness to its gourmand leaning. It's more dry than creamy, and is rather dense but not too cloying. As always with any offering by L'Orientaliste, its persistence on the skin could have been a lot more substantial.
Personally, it would be more economical to purchase a bottle of Alyssa Ashley's Vanilla instead.
