Vanille Antique

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Byredo Vanille Antique

Byredo Vanille Antique, released in 2022 and crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, was part of the brand’s Night Veils Extrait collection. An Oriental Woody vanilla built around musk, plum, white wood, labdanum, vanilla and amber, it was widely described as one of the most refined modern vanillas in niche perfumery.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation references that original 2022 formulation: a soft fruity opening, a warm resinous heart and a refined vanilla woody drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so you can enjoy the same refined character even though the original has been phased out and replaced.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original has been discontinued and is hard to find. We rebuild the same refined modern vanilla character as an eau de parfum and sell direct, so you can wear it again without paying resale prices.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a refined modern vanilla scent.

Common Questions

How close is it to Byredo Vanille Antique?

Very close on the character that made the original a cult favourite: a refined vanilla wrapped in plum, labdanum and white wood, widely called one of the best vanillas in niche perfumery. We reference the original 2022 formulation and build ours at a high concentration.

Is the original still available?

The original has been discontinued and is now hard to find, or only sold at high prices by resellers. Our version brings the same style back so you can wear it again without hunting for a bottle.

Is this the same perfume as Byredo Vanille Antique?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, created because the original is no longer easy to buy.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is made for anyone who loves a refined, warm, sophisticated vanilla.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
