Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain is an unisex eau de parfum from 2007 in the luxury price tier. It opens with pink pepper, bergamot and incense, moves into rum, cedarwood and benzoin and dries down to bourbon vanilla, tonka bean and labdanum. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Heart
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Dry-down
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
