Fragrance information:

Identity and History of Vanille Absolu

Immerse yourself in a world of sweet dreams with Vanille Absolu from Montale, a fragrance that has been winning the hearts of perfume lovers since 2008 with its warm and mysterious character.

This masterpiece is part of the collection Around The Vanilla, dedicated to various interpretations of vanilla, and perfectly reflects the oriental aesthetic of the brand, founded by Pierre Montale.

In Russia, it is often called 'Vanilla Absolu,' emphasizing the absolute concentration of vanilla pleasure in every drop.

Positioning and Wearability

Vanille Absolu is a feminine fragrance in the concentration of Eau de Parfum, ideally suited for cool evenings, romantic dates, and cozy home gatherings.

Its medium trail softly envelops without being intrusive, creating an aura of warmth and comfort.

For optimal effect, it is recommended 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing, so the fragrance unfolds in all its fullness and longevity.

Creative Genius: Pierre Montale

Behind the creation of this magical perfume is Pierre Montale, founder of the eponymous house, known for his love of rich oriental compositions.

His philosophy is a blend of Middle Eastern traditions with Parisian sophistication, which is vividly manifested in Vanille Absolu, reinforcing Montale's reputation as a master of gourmand and spicy fragrances.

This release became an important milestone in the brand's line, demonstrating how vanilla can be both tender and passionate.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Composition

The Vanille Absolu composition is built on a harmonious blend of spicy and gourmand notes, creating a multi-layered and warm character.

At the heart of the fragrance lies Vanilla, which provides a sweet, creamy base, complemented by Cinnamon and Cloves (spice), adding a piquant sharpness and depth.

The Woody chord completes the composition, giving it stability and an elegant earthy note, making the fragrance ideal for Oriental and Gourmand families.

These elements seamlessly intertwine, creating a sense of coziness and luxury from the very first notes.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The fragrance is too sweet, as if it's only vanilla. The other notes just get lost. Cinnamon, yes, you can catch it, but overall it feels like I've stepped into a pastry shop. For true vanilla lovers, this is probably the ideal option. The longevity is simply impressive, washing it off was a real challenge!
5/5
5
The fragrance really grabs attention. You could say it reminds me of So Elixir Bous Sensuelle by Yves Rocher, but it's executed on a completely different level. I expected it to be sweet and cloying, but it's not like that at all. It's fresh, unusual, and nothing like a sweet treat. I really liked it. The sillage is impressive, and the longevity is moderate ))))

Too much vanilla, simply unbearable. Everything else gets lost, nothing is felt except this cloying sweetness
5/5

I really liked the vanilla fragrance. It combines the sweetness of vanilla with an interesting woody tartness and spices. This gives it a melancholic sound, making it seem richer and deeper than standard vanilla scents.
5/5

This perfume is my staple. Like many, I'm always searching for something new, but with this fragrance, we have a true friendship. It garners so many compliments! People around start asking, "What's that wonderful smell? Is that your perfume?" In winter, it warms me, and in summer, I save it - it's not always appropriate. In freezing weather, it just envelops me, and I melt into its warmth. The vanilla here is simply perfect )

The vanilla here is like from a bakery, very rich. My colleagues around don't get it

Vanilla, and that's it. No woody notes, no cloves or cinnamon. I feel like I'm in a bakery. Never received any compliments. This fragrance is definitely not the best in my collection
3/5

Vanilla, vanilla, and more vanilla. A bit too cloying, don't you think? On the one hand, it's really pleasant, but at the same time, there's a feeling that something is missing. It seems tasty, but I can't figure out if I actually like it
5/5

The vanilla here is simply amazing! It's so bright and spicy, and cinnamon with clove add interesting notes. Warmth and freshness combine perfectly, creating a pleasant and lovely feeling. In the end, the fragrance turns out to be very harmonious and versatile
3/5

This fragrance is spicy, sharp, and somewhat dry. Honestly, I don't understand when it can even be worn. In winter, it will sting, definitely not for frosts. And in summer - it will simply suffocate. Only rainy autumn remains. Well, let's wait, test it, what else can you do
4/5

What a strange fragrance. Wood with a sour aftertaste, reminiscent of fruit beer, and the barrel seems to be from kvass. There's almost no vanilla, but maybe it shouldn't be added - it's clearly a masculine scent. However, it's too weak, disappears quickly, but holds up well on clothes, even leaves a slight trail 😲
5/5
5
What a terrible smell! Warm, yes, but too cloying and intrusive. For sweet tooths - it's just a disaster! No sophistication, just sickly sweetness. I don't understand how this can be a favorite, it's simply unbearable 😒
5/5
5
From the first notes, this fragrance simply captivates and awakens emotions, as if carrying you away to another world. In its composition, you can find precious vanilla absolute, cinnamon, clove, and rare woody notes. This combination truly fascinates and leaves a vivid impression ✨
4/5
4
The fragrance is clearly suitable for winter, when it's cold. Woody notes stand out here, and the vanilla sweetness is not too intrusive. This is probably the most noticeable thing about this perfume
2/5

I didn't notice any woody or spicy nuances, the fragrance is simply monotonously vanilla throughout, sweet and pleasant vanilla, and nothing else 😲
