Byredo Night Veils Vanille Antique Extrait de Parfum, Sample
Vanille Antique is a beautiful perfume utilising the very rare Vanilla bean, which exudes a smokiness and less sweetness than traditional Vanilla perfumes. The opening of this fragrance is a delicate interplay of freesia and plum, bringing a fresh yet subtly sweet introduction that gently invites exploration of its deeper layers. The freesia offers a soft, floral brightness while the plum provides a juicy, slightly tart edge that hints at the depth to come.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals itself with warm amber and the creamy, enveloping nature of cashmere woods. Amber brings a rich, resinous warmth that wraps around the senses, while the cashmere woods add a soft, luxurious texture that is both comforting and sophisticated. This combination creates a rich, inviting core that transitions seamlessly into the base.
The dry-down is where the magic of Vanille Antique truly lies. The rare Madagascar Vanilla Beans take centre stage, their smokiness tempered by the earthy notes of cistus oil. This pairing creates a deep, complex base that is both mysterious and grounding. Woods and musk add to the composition's depth, enhancing the fragrance's earthy, sensual quality. Together, these notes craft a unique perfume experience, one that lingers with an elegant, understated allure.
