Vanille Antique is the first fragrance Byredo focused on the rarest raw material of perfumery. Here, the smoky scent of the vanilla pod is loaded with history and character, transforming into something unexpected, less sugary and more nuanced. The expected sweetness of vanilla is crossed by textures of earthiness and darkness, a warm mix of cashmere wood, cistus and musk for an intoxicating ambrosia.
Distilled into a pure essence using age-old techniques, a small amount works closer to the skin and radiates through body heat, lingering for many hours.
