Vanille Debauche

Ohhh, this is really wonderful! This is the most realistic vanilla pipe tobacco I've ever smelled... if you've visited cigar shops before or have smelled a pouch of pipe tobacco, then this Kyse will smell very familiar to you. I agree that this is more tobacco than vanilla. It smells better than MAC's Velvet Teddy IMO, less synthetic and cloying. EDIT: Okay, so the sample I was given by another Fragrantica member is I think the older version of this, before by Terri was rebranded to Kyse. I was so enamored, I went ahead and bought the current version without sampling. They aren't completely different, but the newer formula definitely smells more straight vanilla tobacco than the older one. The older one is fruity and nutty, with the sweetness a perfect mimicry of pipe tobacco. I'm sad to say this quality is toned down in the newer bottle. It still smells lovely, just drier like hay. I read on the Kyse Facebook page that because vanilla crops have had a bad few years, their original source of vanilla became much more expensive. It's possible they changed the recipe for this reason, so I can't fault Kyse for that. It could also be the bottle needs to sit a while--I'll update if anything changes. EDIT 2: This is the first time my boyfriend has commented on something I've worn. He said it smells like ice cream/a Baskin Robbins. So... there's that.

Kyse Perfumes Vanille Debauche, a vanilla-dominant blend that sounds and is right up my alley. I like the name, as it suggests that the perfume has a certain edginess to it, and this is a fair categorization. The fragrance is dominated by a boozy bourbon vanilla, and coupled with amber, is a creamy delight. Dried fruits give it further character, and also contribute to the sharpness of the boozy vanilla. Other boozy notes (rum? whiskey?) are allegedly included to this effect, as well. The note arrangement is rounded out by tobacco and woods, and while I don't detect much of either, I can imagine they're there, lurking in the background, in a far distant corner of the fragrance, providing just a little gruffness to contrast the majority of the fragrance that is driven by more gourmand smells. Performance on this is very strong, much like the other strong members of the Kyse line that I've sampled in recent weeks, and so at the line's typical pricing, this is again a great deal, but unfortunately is currently sold out, and presumably that means discontinued within the context of what I understand to be a small batch company, so I'm more or less smacking myself for waiting too long to try my samples. Anyone interested should try this one out if they get a chance. 8 out of 10

Is that boozy vanilla? It almost smells dark chocolatey. I'm getting some bark. Some figgy dark fruit, not a super sweet fruit. Almost like dates or figs with much of the sugar removed. Chocolate covered booze soaked dates! It's a great fall and winter vanilla, very rich and dark. Very unisex, but great for men. I would attack one who was wearing it. :) I don't find it to be a cupcake sweet vanilla, it's not like that. It's rich and dense. Very nice, good job Terri! Drydown: I am detecting all that yummy vanilla goodness, and benzoin? (don't hold me to that) or something else that I really like (beeswax?). The darkness is fading into lightness. Just a beautiful vanilla in the drydown. It's gorgeous! It took me a while to open up to this type of vanilla because I've always been a sweet cupcake or light incense vanilla type of a person. This one is dark and sexy and edible in a very different way. Like a medieval edible vanilla. Some kind of medieval knights of the round table rum soaked date vanilla cake. Yeah, that good!

Another edible creation from Terri! Absolutely love this one. This is a dark, rich gourmet-gourmand. Unisex for sure, and although the notes suggest something similar to Tobacco Vanille - They are much different, but in the same vein, where "If you like one, you'll probably like the other." The opening of Vanille Debauche is melted dark chocolate & honey, drizzled over some kind of fig/prune/plum pastry. (An elusive FIG NEWTON!! note comes to mind). In the drydown, hints of wood & mild sweetness from tobacco are mixed in sporadically, but the main focus when applied to my skin is definitely on the deep, rich, chocolatey gourmand elements, and maybe even a hint of oatmeal & raisins at some point in time. I love that this is a widely multi-faceted vanilla gourmand - always changing, never cloying, never boring! It's wonderfully cozy without going into Yankee-candle-home-scent also, which I'm very glad about. Absolutely full-bottle worthy, and for the price you can't beat this quality; 15ml for 15$, 30ml for 30$! Bravo!

Vanille Debauche starts off with a deliciously toxic blast of vanilla doused in the most beautiful honeyed whiskey that you can possibly imagine. This is a dangerous scent, announcing itself drenched in booze, smoking a pipe and dancing loudly in the street, waving an ice cream cone in one hand and a basket of fruit in the other. It’s some parts Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, other parts Pure Malt by Thierry Mugler, and if you have experienced either of these two gorgeous scents then you’ll want to get your nose on Vanille Debauche as soon as possible. It’s available at a very decent price, and although the longevity is a bit disappointing, that initial blast of booze and honey, plus the sweet vanilla and tobacco dry-down makes it a purchase worthy scent that I’m very happy to have in my collection.

Vanille Debauche It opens with a blast of tobacco and oud/woods and the woods are sharp like they are in "J". Fruits and honey enrich the boozy vanilla.. and once the opening settles down it becomes a very rich vanilla scent like the Madagascar type vanilla fragrances on the market. I really like the mid- drydown in Vanille Debauche. At first with the opening I wasnt sure if id like it, but as it goes along it really grows on you. Definitely unisex. I feel J leans more masculine but this is more in the middle as far as unisex goes. If your in the market for a rich vanilla, like a Lutens Un Bois Vanille or a TF TV...give this one a try. Its a pleasure to wear.

OOhh! This is delish. I cant afford Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille but this is a gorgeous alternative. I immediately get lots of tobacco and vanilla. Yes, its a sweet fruity vanilla but there is enough tobacco to really balance it out. I dont get any chocolate but I do get the booze and the honey. In the last couple of hours the sweetness wains and more tobacco, amber and wood do their thing. This would definitely smell great on either sex. It is the perfect cold weather fragrance. Moderate sillage and longevity.

I’m getting quite a bit of incense & woods with my sample of this...definitely needs to develop on the skin to bring out the layers. This is a really nice, complex vanilla. The opening is a bit plasticky. But has morphed into a lovely, woody, smoky vanilla scent. Moderate projection. Can’t speak of longevity yet. This reminds me of layering Comme des Garçons Avignon with vanilla. It’s that good 🖤

I can't get enough of this smell! Who knew I wanted to smell like pipe tobacco so badly. But I do. Vanille Debauche is fruit-scented pipe tobacco stored in a deep red wooden bookcase. Mysterious, edgy, boozy, sweet. I love this on myself (female) but also on my husband. Really great unisex. My only complaint is longevity. My skin eats this up, though it does last a bit longer on my husband.

I got a sample of this and I tried it in the summer, fall, and winter. It was ok but nothing that I thought I would ever really enjoy enough to buy a bottle. She had a sale so I caved and bought this and a few others. It is below 0 (Fahrenheit) right now and it smells amazing! Looks like this is something that really smells beautiful in North Dakota weather!

This is my absolute favorite from Terri, just love it. Great scent, the boozy, honey, powerful punch of this is my thing. The vanilla is strong and reminds me of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille so I layer the two together some times. I will be buying more from Terri very soon. Just lasts and lasts and then I reapply again so it never stops coming.

I like everything about it except the tobacco and the dried fruit (smells sour on me), Thats whats stopping me from buying a full size version of this (I just have a sample). Otherwise I like it and would probably do a swap for it or buy it from someone. Also looking for Elegance Sombre, Vertigo Cuir, and mandorlo whatever it is haha!

This is a delicious boozy vanilla. On my skin, as the scent develops I get a very nice fruity note mixed with an earthy accord. The beautiful boozy vanilla keeps center stage in the scent. I get good projection & longevity. It is another deliciously gorgeous scent from Terri!

This frangrence is very nice! You get a nice vanilla with like some amber some tobacco but that fades out later on me and some boozy vibe but just a tad boozy and that is it. Its very smooth a tad sweet and very unisex.

There have been a few new Kyse fragrances since December but they haven’t been added yet. I have been anxiously awaiting reviews. Especially Fumee Vanille. How do new fragrances get added to the database?

I was very excited to try vanille debauche. I love me a vanilla tobacco! I am a big fan of tom ford tobacco vanille, cologne of the missions, and double vanille. Maybe that's why I am underwhelmed with this fragrance when I have so many others to compare it to. The fragrance itself smells terrific, bourbon vanilla, spicy tobacco, and the signature rosey graham cracker smell (mainly the beginning). There are cozy woody beeswax smells and some hints of dried fruit. You have probably yet to see a problem :P. The short coming of this wonderful smelling fragrance for me is the longevity, projection, and silage. I applied more than half of my tester vial and could barely smell it 2 hours later. It's now been 5.5 hours and I can not smell the fragrance unless I lift hair right up to my nose (I applied around my neck). Even when the fragrance was noticeable it was faint. I am surprised to see this lack of power when I tried oui plus and confit de rose and they were both very strong. I am looking forward to trying more perfumes by terri but this was a pass for me.

Purchased this immediately after receiving sample from Lucky Scent. I hope this smells the same once received. Unisex for sure ( update, leans fem after dry down). I typically like sweet gourmands and can sometimes like masculine scents if I am not near men for awhile. Probably best worn during colder months and at night, but I am going to wear it during the summer though Sweet, dried fruits, vanilla, sexy, dirty, dark resin, musky, dark honey. I get local honey in the Commonwealth of Dominica, that the seller places in clean used rum bottles. This smells like the bottom of that bottle. Modern day hippie without the patchouli Reminds me of a darker/heavier and sweeter version of Blonde Amber by Clive Christian Who do I see wearing this? Male: Duke Dennis, Joey Badass and Xavier Legette- a pretty boy masculine type Female: Zoe Kravitz Update: Received the full bottle. Dries down to a very sweet vanilla (very fem leaning). Pairs well with Vanilla Woods

This is more a boozy tobacco scent than a vanilla, the name is a bit confusing but it's a great scent for tobacco lovers that enjoy dried fruit in their perfumes, like the fruit in Chocolate Greedy sorta. I've had a by Terri 60ml bottle for a while now and as much as I like it I tend to not wear it because I'm not fond of the dried fruits boozy smell but it's a very good perfume this one in my opinion, I just wanted to say a few words about the fact this is a great affordable tobacco scent for it may be getting over looked by people thinking its all about Vanilla. For me a vanilla fan, this is all boozy fruity tobacco, kinda like Pulp had a afair with tobacco vanille A strong like and highly recommend to sample first.

Right off the bat incense and vanilla, that settles into a boozy, warm, fragrant suede, almost new car mixed with fruity vanilla scent. The drydown is very woody, which usually bothers me, but I don't seem to mind with this perfume because of the sweet gourmand notes. I ordered a bottle on first sniff, but as I get to know it, I wish it were stronger, had longevity and more of a presence. It is unisex, but leans masculine, which I don't mind because I love a smokey vanilla. A very faint scent bubble where the fruity vanilla and tobacco shine.

Does what it says on the tin, if the notes speak to you then you know exactly what you're in for. I have not smelled Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille so I cannot compare it to that, but Vanille Debauche to me is mostly about the dried fruit and tobacco drenched in boozy vanilla. Rummy fruit cake and gentlemen (and -women) smoking vanilla cigars. This is my first experience with Kyse perfumes and it makes me curious about what else this house has to offer.
