Vanille Insensée
Vanille Insensée by Atelier Cologne is an unisex eau de cologne from 2011 in the premium price tier. It opens with lime and coriander, moves into vanilla and jasmine and dries down to oakmoss, vetiver and labdanum. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
Heart
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
