Sweet Vanilla

$105.00

Sweet Vanilla is Montale offering their most uncomplicated warm register: vanilla and tonka bean opened by heliotrope's powdery-almond warmth, the combination immediately placing the composition in the skin-comfort category. The almond note deepens the heliotrope, and sandalwood with amber in the base extends the sweetness into a dry, warm drydown that keeps the composition from becoming purely confectionary. A fragrance that smells like a warm room rather than a dessert: inhabited warmth rather than edible sweetness.

Why We Carry This

Sweet Vanilla's heliotrope-tonka base is more sophisticated than the name implies: heliotrope's cherry-almond quality gives the vanilla a powdery warmth that pure vanilla extract does not possess, and the sandalwood base extends the drydown with genuine staying power. A better construction than the simple name suggests.
