The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Montale and crafted by Pierre Montale, Vanilla Cake is a sweet and indulgent Oriental vanilla fragrance. The composition opens with a rich blend of almond and caramel, leading into a heart of creamy lactonic notes and nutty accents that evoke the comforting warmth of freshly baked cake. The base layers in powdery vanilla, rounding out the scent with a plush and enveloping finish.
Apply Vanilla Cake in a single generous spritz — it blooms quickly on skin and maintains its warmth throughout the day. Best for cooler weather when you want to wrap yourself in comforting sweetness.
