🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Eau de parfum, 50 ml, made with roughly 20% fragrance oil, handmade in small batches, vegan and cruelty free. It costs €25, an affordable price across our whole dupe range, whatever designer or niche house sits behind the original. Free shipping applies from €49, and delivery runs 2 to 5 working days.

Tom Ford sells Vanille Fatale at that same eau de parfum strength, so ours carries the same weight and richness rather than a thinner version of it, and the rum-and-tobacco accord holds up through the whole wear.

Longevity runs 6 to 9 hours, and this fragrance stays close to the skin once the vanilla settles in. Not for you? Passion Vanilla can be exchanged within 15 days.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Passion Vanilla is our perfume dupe of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale, made for anyone who wants a properly boozy, spiced vanilla rather than something sweet and simple. It opens on rum, myrrh, olibanum, saffron, coriander, orange and lime, moves through coffee, plum, frangipani, narcissus, barley, artemisia and rose, then settles on vanilla, suede, tobacco, mahogany, patchouli, oakmoss and violet.

Rum sets the tone early on, warm and a little sharp rather than fruity. Once the coffee and plum settle in, vanilla and tobacco take over for the rest of the wear, so this reads far closer to a dark, smoky gourmand than a typical sweet vanilla. This fragrance dupe smells like a darker, boozier take on gourmand fragrances than most vanilla scents on the shelf, closer to a spiced tobacco fragrance than something sugary.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Passion Vanilla

Inspired by: Vanille Fatale, Tom Ford

Passion Vanilla works best from autumn through winter, when a rich, boozy vanilla like this has real presence in the cold. It can carry into a cool spring evening too, but it is too heavy for the height of summer.

Tom Ford built Vanille Fatale as a unisex release, and Passion Vanilla follows that lead: men and women both wear it, and it reads closer to warm and spiced than distinctly masculine or feminine. It works equally for him or for her, and this fragrance is one of the more versatile fragrances we make for cold-weather wear. Search for other rum-vanilla perfumes and fragrances and you'll find plenty of imitators, but each review of Passion Vanilla keeps circling back to that same boozy accord.

Choose our Inspiration

Tom Ford is the designer's own American fashion and beauty house, and Vanille Fatale sits inside the Private Blend collection, the range where the brand pushes its richest, most concentrated ideas without holding back for the mass market. It stands out even in that collection for being this dark and boozy rather than simply sweet.

Read reviews of the original online and the rum-and-saffron opening is what people mention most. Most shoppers just say Vanille Fatale rather than the full Tom Ford name, and that shorthand is what most perfume dupes on the market are chasing. Search any review of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale and the same middle notes come up again and again: coffee, plum and rose sitting under that boozy rum opening. It belongs to a luxury tier most perfumes and fragrances in this style never reach, which is exactly why so many scents try to clone that same rum-and-vanilla base.

Why choose us?

Passion Vanilla is our alternative to Tom Ford's Private Blend original. It is our own blend, filled by hand in small batches to get as close as we can to that rum, vanilla and tobacco combination.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, since anything lighter would lose the depth in the base. If it does not smell similar to what you expected, send it back within 15 days and we will sort an exchange. This is an independent fragrance alternative, not a licensed one, and every fragrance we fill by hand aims for that same rum-heavy warmth without cutting corners on the oils.
