Celebrates the transition from day to evening – the Vanilla Antique extrait de parfum is a true wonder in the world of perfumery. Unlike other fragrances centred around the rare vanilla bean, this one arrives with a smokiness that’s far more nuanced than it’s often-syrupy counterparts.
Charged with character and complexity, it sees a sweet base lifted by dark, earthy textures – it simply has to be experienced to be believed.
Vanille Antique is the first titular Byredo fragrance centered around perfumery’s rarest raw ingredient. Here, the smoky scent of vanilla bean becomes charged with history and character; transforming into something unexpected, less syrupy and more nuanced. The expected sweetness of vanilla is cut through by textures of earthiness and darkness, a warming mix of cashmere wood, ciste and musk form an intoxicating ambrosia.
Distilled into a pure essence utilizing time-honored techniques, a small amount works closer to the skin and radiates through the heat of the body, lingering for many hours.
Byredo insists that you keep this one reserved for nighttime.
