Les Nombres d'Or: Vanille
Mona di Orio · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2011
≈ $225 · 100ml · approx. retail
A 2011 addition to Les Nombres d'Or, notable for using pure vanilla absolute rather than synthetic ethyl vanillin. A boozy, clove-spiced opening gives way to a woody heart and a dense, leathery vanilla-amber base.
