Montaigne Vanille

A brief lemon sparkle, then a sugared Turkish rose over creamy vanilla, white musk and cedar. Cozy and office-safe, best in cool weather.

More than one customer has told us this is a one-to-one match for Mancera Roses Vanille, and while we won't go quite that far, the resemblance is obvious. A brief lemon top fades fast into a sweet Turkish rose, which reviewers say leads the whole composition, sitting over creamy vanilla, white musk and cedar. It wears closer to the skin than most of what we sell, so budget for a reapply around the four-hour mark, though a handful of people report it lasting much longer on them. Best kept for cool weather and low-key days.
