Vanille Absolu
Vanille Absolu by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with plum and cherry, moves into vanilla and caramel and dries down to white musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
Heart
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
