Vanille Fatale
Rum and olibanum in the opening are resinous and slightly boozy, saffron pulling the early minutes toward something metallic and warm. Yann Vasnier layers barley and coffee through the heart, giving the composition a dry, almost smoky quality that plum and frangipani soften without dispelling. Madagascar vanilla arrives late and settles deep, with tobacco, mahogany, and suede building a base of extraordinary density.
Why We Carry This
Vanille Fatale is a Private Blend release that earns its place in the line through structural complexity rather than vanilla sweetness. The rum-saffron opening into a tobacco-mahogany base is one of the more ambitious vanilla constructions Vasnier has produced.
