Vanille Leather

Vanille Leather by BDK Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum from 2021 in the niche price tier. It opens with pink pepper and violet, moves into tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom and dries down to vanilla, patchouli, leather, orris root and benzoin. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.

Heart

Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
