The Scoop

When you have a raw material as glorious as vanilla absolute from Madagascar, the smart thing to do is to let it shine. And in Divine Vanille by perfumer Olivier Pescheux, the costly but sustainable vanilla absolute reigns supreme – addictively soft and balmy, but with a darkly boozy amaretto tint in the topnotes that will tease your senses and make you want to drink it. A dulcet-toned, nutmeg-spiced tonka bean paste is dabbed on in places to give the vanilla a luscious depth, while a precious osmanthus absolute enhances the naturally leathery aspects of a black, woody vanilla pod. This is all tethered in the dry, slightly bitter smokiness of Texas cedar. But that lush vanilla rings out, as clear as a bell.

This clever but subtle arrangement of notes allows you to enjoy Divine Vanille in several overlapping layers – the delicious warmth of pure vanilla dancing around the fruity suede, which in turn reveals facets of blond tobacco, peach skin, and cinnamon-dusted wood. Wrapped in the powdery, book-paperish resinousness of benzoin and diffusive musks, Divine Vanille is the rare vanilla-centered fragrance that puts the vanilla up front and center without allowing the composition to unravel into the plain white sugar sweetness of a gourmand or letting the other materials drown out its delicate yet singular identity. Divine Vanille is mysterious, yet easy to read - the perfect balance between simple and complex.

Here's what other people are saying about Divine Vanille...

This smells AMAZING!!! I love how soft and velvety the vanilla is and it lasted for over 8 hours on me on this first day of wearing it.

By The Lilly - Professional Astrologist Business Owner from Philadelphia on 9/19/2024

My honest thoughts on this is to not blind buy it, sample first. I not a fan. It’s not your usual vanilla scent, the spice notes are strong. Sample first!!

By Thamara - Student from Miami on 4/14/2024

Does it smell like Herod? Sure. But lets remember that today's Herod is not even the shadow of what it used to be. Now, yes, they were both made by the same perfumer, and there are similarities, but Divine Vanille is the winner. Aside comparisons to Herod, Divine Vanille is smooth, pleasant, somewhat-a-dry-vanilla, and man oh man, the drydown is pure heaven. Upon a decent application, I'll say five atomizations, even thou projection will be intimate, longevity will linger around the eight-hour mark. For $80-something bucks, a fragrance with this high quality, in a world that's trending vanilla, is a steal. Don't be afraid of the trigger with this one.

By Gabe - Teacher from Los Angeles on 12/28/2023

I fell in love immediately with this scent. It is the perfect balance between a sophisticated clean and vanilla scent. It smells expensive even though it has a reasonable price point. Gorgeous. Worth a try! It reminds me of being in a beautifully smelling hotel lobby. One of my favorites… I need my home to smell like this!

By MariMari - Parfum Hobbyist from King Of Prussia on 12/26/2023

I quite like this layered with other scents! Another reviewer mentioned it's a great layering scent, and I'm inclined to agree. For me, alone, it starts off a little too sweet & fruity on my skin, almost juvenile, think Body Shop hand sanitizer or after spray for smokers. It dries down to something much more pleasant, and the edge is taken off the intense generic fruit vanilla scent. I'd probably get it again just for layering. I've used it to soften some more masculine scents, since I'm a big masculine-scent-girly (sometimes they can be a little Too Masculine). I love it with Aesop's Ouranon and Bon Parfumeur's 901.

By Cyphina - PA from Calgary on 10/20/2023

Oh man!!! This is delicious! Completely unisex. I do wear it alone, but I also layer it with Tihota to get more vanilla. This does smell like Herod PDM, but it’s warmer and slightly more airy on me. This could also be layered with Nobile 1942 La Danza delle Libellule for a more spicy apple pie feel, or all three for a fantastic apple pie a la mode. Fall winter vibes for sure. The layered combo gets me tons of compliments.

By Brie - Medical professional from Reno on 10/18/2023

I love this one- can't beat the price. It's one of the few scents that actually fits the description here. It's light enough to wear in the summer when you want a sweet vanilla and is also great for layering. I can see myself getting the 100ml when the 10ml runs out. I'm not sure, however, that I would be as happy with it if it had that super high niche price point (to my nose it's light).

By Cindy - Lawyer from New York on 7/16/2023

This has a pronounced black pepper note in the opening that I hate, but when that dies down this is a fantastic, woody vanilla with a tiny bit of fruit and rum. This is a MAGICAL fragrance for layering. I use it to tone down blind buys that I don’t like, and somehow it works with nearly everything. The price is incredible. I imagine I will always have this in my collection.

By Jennifer - Clinical psychologist from Fayetteville on 2/4/2023

Opening is a cozy comforting cinnamon bomb not a candied cinnamon but natural cinnamon bark with a touch of clary sage balancing the pepper. Blending into an amazing osmanthus giving some fruity and tobacco nuances with incense creating a slightly smoky Vanilla all closing out to some a benzoin, tonka and patchouli base. Blending on this one is very good. To the reviewer below. Yes I’ve smelled more fragrances than you could probably count up to. outstanding performance on this one as with all the Essential Parfums I've tried.

By Erik - Nunya from Williamsburg on 6/11/2022

This is a lush, lovely and light vanilla that is not too sweet or syrupy and it drys down beautifully. Its almost a gourmand scent - but without being too much. I think it's an easy everyday scent that I find myself wearing when I don't know what to wear that day - like Byredo Gypsy Water- it works every time. My only complaint, and it's a very small one, is that as it drys down, it becomes almost too simple- but it is still lovely.

By Sarah - Therapist from Seattle on 5/10/2022

Mediocre softly spicy vanilla that has been done a million times and done better. A huge disappointment for me because I bought it based on the reviews here. With all due respect to the other reviewers, I wonder if the other reviewers have smelled many fragrances or if this is just new to them. Up for sale or giveaway it goes.

By Melissa - CEO, entertainment from NY on 4/1/2022

This is divine, as the name states. It is not a sweet vanilla; it is just perfect. I think a male could pull this off as well and it would smell great!

By Marissa - nurse from San Antonio on 12/13/2021

Divine Vanille truly lives up to its name. It's addictively soft and balmy and oh so wrist-sniff worthy. This is not your straight vanilla scent like Tihota. Nor is it an ooey-gooey , lateral, unsophisticated vanilla. There's depth and nuances of soft spices, osmanthus for a slight fruity note, a bit of pepper, a dusting of incense (not churchy incense), and some sensuality of musk and patchouli. This is a warm, cozy, long hug fragrance that people will snuggle you and say, "Oh you smell good. What are you wearing?" It may be warm and cozy, but I'd wear this year round due to the fruity notes. This is a skin scent for me, so you might not have that fill-the-room sillage, but I find it long lasting. IMO leans more fem. Definitely FB worthy.

By ElaineLG - RN from Deep South on 12/8/2021

This fragrance lives up to its name...it's simply divine. This is not your ooey-gooey, sticky sweet vanilla fragrance. It's a warm, lush, sensual, huggy, snuggly sniff-your-wrist-all-day fragrance. The spices and incense give this fragrance depth and intrigue. If you're worried about it having too much incense, like church incense, it's not that in-your-face, burning odor. This is a day or night fragrance. I even put this scent on before I go to bed, and it just makes me feel so warm in my soul. I also love that Essential Parfums are from 86% to 93% natural and sustainable.

By DevorahInTheMtns - RN from CO on 10/13/2021

One of the nicest woody vanillas I've tried in a while. I get a tart vanilla with fruit nuances, passing through a very dry stage to settle at full dry down as a rich faintly smokey vanilla wood. It’s not terribly pricey and it’s sustainably produced. A new favorite.

By Teresa - Engraver from Seattle on 6/25/2021

Divine Vanille is the kind of scent that you continually put your nose to your skin to sniff because you love it so damn much. Hands down the best vanilla I've ever had the pleasure of owning. Layered, airy, sensual, unisex. The cinnamon and incense notes dance around the vanilla, creating a scent that's somehow perfect for year-round wear.

By HMH - Writer from Vancouver Island on 4/18/2021

This is SO good. I don't know how they determine that this is unisex, but I loved it as SOON as I put on a sample. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't $400! So now I have it for a long time.

By Kathleen - Marketer from Chandler, AZ on 1/28/2021

This has become my #1 Vanilla scent. It has the perfect amount of non-sugary vanilla. An absolute love.

By Bundtcake - Admin from Pasadena on 1/15/2021

Wow!!!! I love this one!!!!!! It started out very sweet vanilla, but quickly morphed into a soft, spicy, sexy as hell scent!! I got the small bottle to try out, thank you for that. This, for me is full bottle worthy

By Stephanie - New Mexico hippie from Hobbs on 11/24/2020

you know, I received this with LS's vanilla 'vial trial' and didn't really give it it's own place and time, until today. I just dabbed a little bit and I have to say it is Divine as its name implies. It definitely has a boozy note to it, and I thought this before I read LS own description. I think it is quite feminine but not in a sweet floral way. This scent is elegant, understated and just smells sexy. That being said, I think a man could pull this off as well.
