The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jean-Paul Guerlain launched Spiritueuse Double Vanille in 2007 as part of Guerlain's prestigious L'Art et la Matière collection. This fragrance is often hailed by enthusiasts for its incredibly convincing and rich vanilla notes, which are complemented by a warm blend of amber, balsamic resins, and smoky incense. Critics debate whether the scent’s performance justifies its high price point, but there's no denying that Spiritueuse Double Vanille captures the essence of what Guerlain does best: using luxurious materials to create an unforgettable experience.

How to wear it

This fragrance projects well but can be nuanced; apply it to your pulse points for maximum warmth and longevity. It blooms beautifully after an hour, so give it time before stepping out.
