La Favorite opens with benzoin, tonka bean and queen of the night flower, then jasmine sambac, rose and ylang-ylang bloom. Vanilla, Virginia cedar and white musk finish it. Amelie Jacquin and Quentin Bisch composed it in 2026, a warm, powdery amber with long wear and a strong trail.

Vanilla, Virginia Cedar, White MuskVanilla, Virginia cedar and white musk blend into a smooth, creamy wood that lingers.
Two sprays is plenty with this one. I put it on at seven in the morning and still caught it on my scarf at midnight, which blew me away. The sillage is big; people in the lift noticed within seconds, so I go light in tight spaces. The warm vanilla glow keeps going on my skin, cosy, ideal for autumn evenings. Dropping a star only because I'm still learning restraint with it. My 10 ml decant is already shrinking fast.

Vooral de vanille en de zachte tonkaboon vallen me op, heerlijk warm. Mijn 3 ml decant is bijna leeg, ik wil meer.

Verdetto netto: promosso a pieni voti. Vaniglia avvolgente e ambra calda, elegante senza essere stucchevole, con una scia ben presente. Tiene tutta la giornata e la sera dà il meglio. Lo indosso in autunno e inverno, e lo ricomprerei senza esitare.

Έχω δύο ακόμη αρώματα από τον ίδιο οίκο και αυτό είναι το πιο ζεστό και γλυκό. Στα 3 ml το δοκίμασα αρκετές φορές πριν κρίνω. Η βανίλια κρατά πολλή ώρα και η προβολή είναι δυνατή. Δεν είναι για κάθε μέρα, αλλά το βράδυ ταιριάζει απόλυτα.

Für mich ist er zu süß. Die Vanille dominiert von Anfang bis Ende, mir fehlt etwas Frische oder Würze als Gegengewicht. Haltbarkeit und Sillage sind stark, daran liegt es nicht. Wer es gern cremig-süß mag, ist hier richtig, ich bin es nicht.

Ciepły szal na jesień
Noszę go do pracy jesienią, ale tylko jedno psiknięcie na nadgarstek, bo projekcja jest mocna. Przy biurku pachnie jak ciepły szal: waniliowo, miękko, z cieniem jaśminu sambac w tle. Koleżanka z sąsiedniego biurka zapytała, czym pachnę. Wieczorem, gdy wychodzę na kolację, dokładam drugie psiknięcie i zapach otula jak noc. Cztery gwiazdki, bo do open space jest odrobinę za głośny.

Une collègue et deux amies m'ont demandé le nom dès la première soirée. Vanille chaude, sillage net, ça fait son effet.
Tonka bean is the seed of a tall tree native to South America. Once dried and cured, it gives off a smell of sweet hay, vanilla, almond and a little spice.
Jasmine sambac is a white jasmine, also called Arabian jasmine, whose flowers open in the evening. It smells richer and fuller than common jasmine, with a creamy, green and fruity sweetness, a slightly tea-like freshness and a lush floral heart.
Rose is one of the most widely used flowers in perfumery. Its scent comes from petals, mostly through steam distillation for rose oil or solvent extraction for rose absolute.
Vanilla comes from the cured pods of a climbing orchid. The pods are fermented and dried until they turn dark and oily, and that process develops the scent.
