Byredo

Vanille Antique

Vanille Antique by Byredo is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with freesia and plum, moves into amber and cashmere wood and dries down to vanilla and labdanum. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
• Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.

Heart

• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
