Vanille Absolu

$110.00

Vanille Absolu is Montale's most direct vanilla statement, built to let the material speak at full volume. Vanilla opens immediately and stays: warm, slightly smoky, with the quality of vanilla absolute rather than the synthetic approximation that most vanilla fragrances use. Amber and benzoin in the heart give the vanilla a resinous warmth, and tonka bean adds a hay-like sweetness that amplifies the natural vanilla's facets. Sandalwood and patchouli in the base are the earthy frame that keeps the sweetness grounded. The absolute form of the note, held at the house's signature concentration.

Why We Carry This

Vanille Absolu is the answer to clients who have tried every vanilla fragrance and found them all wanting. The vanilla absolute construction in the heart, supported by benzoin and tonka rather than generic sweeteners, gives this a material honesty that cheaper vanilla compositions cannot approach. The patchouli-sandalwood base keeps the whole accord anchored and lasting.
