    Smells very similar to Outremer Vanille. Not the candied vanilla that I had in mind. Back to Philosophy I go. I will not repurchase.

    I love this perfume. It’s a sweet vanilla with a cinnamon, spicy warmth that I find irresistible. It lasts forever on the skin. This perfume always gets compliments and inquiries- it’s just sweet...

    This is an OK vanilla. It is not foody, it is not very sweet and I could almost call it semi-dry. These make it wearable for a lot of occasions where I want a bit of vanilla goodness without...

    This is just a simple creamy vanilla with the lush Montale lasting power. But there lies it's magic. A smidgen of cloves and cinnamon , it says woods , I smell none. But it is the ultimate...

    This seems to be a nice combination of sweet, foody, deep and sultry, as far as vanilla is concerned. I do not get any oud notes at all in this. (Im surprised because Im well aware of Montale's...

    Since the House of Montale is built of oud, it should come as no suprise that Vanille Absolue contains a distinct oud note. And yet it was. It appears that oud is responsible for the smoky note...

    A grown up, striking, non- 'ultra sweet' vanilla scent that turns a little smokey for depth after a while .It's wonderful ,soft but lingering. Beautiful chic perfume.

    I think Vanille Absolu is one of the best Montale's I own. It isn't too terribly different from Chypre Vanille, only lacking the Almond note, but its still good. I would test before buying, that's...

    A really nice vanilla. Dry but on the flower edge. Neither cheap nor girly.

    Got a decant of this from a lovely swapper. It's actually more perfumey than I expected. On first spray I though on no, I'm not going to like this. It immediately reminded me of my Mom's Shalimar....

    I am searching for a pure vanilla bean/vanilla extract scent. After reading about this scent I ordered a sample from LuckyScent. I am so disappointed in this scent. It smells very perfumey rather...

    I love "pure" vanilla fragrances. Montale's Vanille Absolu is just a touch more dry than some of the other gourmand vanillas out there. But, although this is a little less sweet, it is still a very...

    This beautiful, creamy and not too sweet vanilla is a dream. It really does smell like vanilla straight from the pod warmed by spices. However, it is very expensive! I will just try to be content...

    I'm one of those vanilla girls. Vanille Absolue? That's an offer I wouldn't turn away. I was delighted when I got a sample with a recent purchase. My delight, however, quickly dipped when I got...

    Very nice true vanilla, sweet but not too sweet. Nicely done. Maybe too plain to wear without anything else and not enough reason to go all the way to France to get it :)
