December Vanilla

December Vanilla is far more than a vanilla: it is a complete oriental that begins as a dessert and ends in precious wood.

— The opening is warm and caramelised: jasmine and vanilla orchid, over a note of cooked sugar. It immediately gives that caramelised, slightly heady side that shows its colours.

— The heart is the richest of the range: crème brûlée, tonka bean, vanilla, rose, leather and spices. Crème brûlée is literally the smell of sugar caramelised with a flame, and the leather comes to give it a grown-up bearing that simple vanillas do not have.

— The base is the real subject: oud, agarwood, amber, brown sugar, patchouli and musk. This is where the fragrance changes register and becomes oriental — the brown sugar bridges the dessert of the beginning and the wood of the end.

An autumn and winter fragrance, for the evening, genuinely unisex. If you are looking for a well-behaved vanilla, this is not it: it is dark, woody and assertive. That is precisely what makes it interesting. Two sprays, no more.
