Fragrance Profile

Vanille Fatale casts vanilla in its most dangerous role yet. It opens with a blaze of Safraleine™, a modern saffron molecule that crackles like sparks across midnight timber. Almost instantly, frangipani floats in—lush, buttery, and vaguely narcotic—before plunging into a well of bitter-dark coffee absolute. As the tempo slows, roasted barley lends malty warmth while a mahogany accord unfurls, rich as lacquered paneling in a private club. Finally, vanilla resinoid oozes through the woodwork: smoky, leathery, and hypnotic, anchoring the composition in an amber-lit afterglow that clings to skin for hours. The result is vanilla stripped of innocence and reborn as an intoxicating femme fatale—dark, complex, and dangerously hard to forget.

Perfect for

Lovers of gourmand notes who crave depth, smoke, and sophisticated spice
Midnight jazz bars, fireside rendezvous, or gala evenings where intrigue swirls through candle-lit rooms
Anyone seeking a signature that turns classic vanilla into a cinematic statement of power and allure
