Green Vanille

Green Vanille is exquisite! The “green” in Green Vanille comes from chamomile (blue chamomile on the RdF website) and Haitian vetiver, which is sweeter, greener, and woodier than its Indonesian counterpart, which is darker, earthier, and leathery. Don’t expect any chlorophillic verdancy, like from Jade Vines. The green here is on the drier, herbal, and woody spectrum. The opening of Green Vanille is slightly waxy and medicinal like Carmex. Which is immediately softened by the hazy herbal quality of blue chamomile (reminding me of my favorite Modern Muse Nuit) and creamy nuttiness of hazelnut and almond. As Green Vanille warms on the skin it takes on a more amber feel. I was reminded of a softened version of Grand Soir. The benzoin, vetiver, and cedar start to shine both cedar and benzoin emitting a camphorus quality circling back to Green Vanille’s medicinal openings. People who love resins, sticky ambers, and herbal will enjoy this quality. Green Vanille hovers above my skin which is a plus, I dislike having to find my fragrances. I am in love with this. Absolutely FB worthy for me!

When I first smelled Green Vanille, it was blind. I did not know the fragrance's name, but I guessed it in my description. I told her it smelled like vanilla, but the full orchid, not what we use for cooking. The green-ness of the leaves and stems as well as the fragrance that we distill into Vanilla. Wearing it, there is also a milky quality, gentle woods. I don't typically like vanilla fragrances, they are often too saccharine, but this was incredible. All the warmth and magic of a vanilla orchid at home in the jungle, embedded in green leaves of the plant, climbing up the wood of host trees. The milky quality simulates how it feels when a floral scent floats through the humidity of a pristine rainforest. I got the Fait Main when it first came out, and am delighted it entered the full line. I plan to buy a full bottle when I run out.

This is STUNNING! Aromatic, spicy, witchy vanilla. This is what I was hoping Coven smelled liked when people said it had an undercurrent of vanilla. With that fragrance I got zero vanilla warmth just cold grass. This is dry but warm, spicy yet sweet. I bought a full bottle immediately upon trying a sample. This is a witches brew, her apothecary, the smell of her skin and hair after creating a concoction of tinctures for love, health and wealth. I’ve tried essentially everything that RDF has to offer and I liked quite a few. I was pretty dead set on Fluer Eclair until I smelled Green Vanille. Since the price is steep I was only willing to buy one atm. And this one made my heart skip a beat. 10/10

I believe you've got to be an appreciator of aromatics and herbal spicy to like this one. Absolutely unisex, but I'll give that the initial opening comes off pretty masculine since the coriander/cedar is really blasting off the top. After 30 minutes to an hour, the initial spiciness and wood notes have tamed, and the creamy nuttiness begins to come through. I can also get the herbal chamomile rounding things out. My short description at this point would be a green vanilla chai. I've saved wearing this for cooler weather, and I'm happy I did so. This one is perfect for fall and the summer crossover I saved it for. Certainly feels a bit witchy, and I love it! A dark witchy spiced vanilla. 🌿

This is not a Gourmand!...despite the notes that SOUND edible, there is no sweetness at all. And MY GOODNESS, am I delighted by this lovely, aromatic and spicy gem! The minute it hit my skin, this was a WOW. INSTANT love..the spiciness, the nutty warmth, the vetiver that beckons, wrapping it's tendrils around my heart... Truly unisex. And beautiful. Despite the average performance, it has captured me... I must own it. Because it owns me now... This almost NEVER happens but I'm helpless to resist it. Goodbye, budget. Goodbye, common sense. Hello, my precious Green Vanille --carry me away into transient poverty while I drift in clouds of aromatic, spicy delight. Ahh...

Green Vanille is not a gourmand—it’s vanilla reimagined in its most natural, untamed form. Creamy yet green, soft yet complex, it’s a scent for those who prefer elegance without sugar. The fragrance opens with an unusual brightness: green hazelnut, almond milk, and soft blue chamomile, offering a fresh and intriguing introduction. These notes drift gently into a heart of real vanilla, grounded by the smooth warmth of benzoin. It’s a fragrance that balances freshness and depth, offering a sophisticated take on vanilla for those who appreciate a more restrained, nuanced interpretation. Such a comforting scent—both uplifting and grounding.

Green Vanille isn’t your sugary gourmand; it’s vanilla stripped down to its essence—raw, nutty, and green. Imagine biting into a fresh vanilla pod, still damp with earth, its creamy sweetness cut through by something wild and green. The first spray brings green hazelnut and almond milk forward, lifted by the herbal whisper of blue chamomile and a hint of spice. It’s like stepping into a sunlit grove, where the air hums with freshness. Then, as it melts into your skin, the true vanilla emerges—not cloying, but warm and resinous, wrapped in the golden glow of benzoin. Luxe Samples available at Nectar Atelier. 🌿✨

This baby is incredible, I mean it. It's the loveliest green offset with a creamy almond note that grounds it so nicely. I agree with a few reviews left before that mentioned that it's like almond milk and an unripe banana turned up, but without any of the banana scent. Just the green-ness of it. Definitely not a gourmand in the classic sense. Price wise... it's steep! I can justify her for how much I adore this scent, but I don't think I'll be purchasing a perfume at this price point for a while 😅 Perfect for spring and I think it'll be gorgeous in the fall!

OK this is a great scent with a bad name. There's vanilla, thank god, but it's not exactly green in any sense of the word. No cut flower stems, no eucalyptus, maybe a little bit herby but it's more rooty/earthy and nutty. Reminiscent of ungrated nutmeg, or a pile of hazelnut shells, even a chaga mushroom. You can definitely read chamomile in it, but I don't know if I would have picked it out if I wasn't influenced by the note breakdown. This is a really gorgeous scent that brings my mind into the garden without feeling flowery.

Wow! As someone who can get migraines from sweet scents, finding a vanilla fragrance that works for me has always been a challenge. After testing dozens, Warm Bulb by Clue was the only vanilla that worked with my skin chemistry until now! Green Vanille has a beautiful balance of softness, nuttiness, and herbal nuances while still maintaining the essence of true vanilla. Definitely full bottle worthy imo

It’s just lovely - a top tier example of photorealism in perfumery. I’m really jazzed about this. The top is woody and nutty; there’s a green and photorealistic floral that reminds me of orchid or jasmine in clean earth. The almond milk and chamomile are 100% perceptible in this, I really love it. Resinous vanilla is warm at the heart, and sandalwood (I’m getting javanol) lingers for hours.

Like others have noted, name is misleading. A really strong blast of vanilla and alcohol when first sprayed, exactly like vanilla extract. Found it increasingly addictive as it mellowed out. I'm not getting 'green' at all. There's definitely an earthiness, but it's spicy and sweet, rich and warm, slightly more masculine than most vanillas I've smelled. Really delicious.

Is this house capable of making a bad fragrance? This is glorious. This is not your average vanilla. This is an aromatic, lightly spicy, slightly nutty, savory vanilla, unfurling from an invigoratingly fresh start into a warm, resinous end. I love her and she must be mine.

This smells like aromatic spa heaven. It is absolutley gorgeous. It is both warm and refreshing at once. The chamomille, vanilla and vetiver is coming out strong on my skin whilst the other notes goes back and forth in the backgeound. It is perfection.

Smells like a forehead kiss from someone who loves you very much. Being sick and babied, carried to bed after falling asleep. Vicks vapor rub and A cup of chamomile tea placed on your bedside. I nearly sobbed when I smelled this . Love

If you love vanilla but don't want to smell like dessert, this is your girl. A spicy, completely unisex take on something that has otherwise been done to death. A unique and comforting combination of notes. Absolutely stunning.

This is what 50 other brands have tried, and failed, to do in the past year; an off-beat, wearable, true-to-its'-name, take on the traditional vanilla perfume. You can actually feel her reverence for the artform in this one.

I literally can't stop smelling this on my wrist, it's kind of addicting. I'm still searching for my "summer vanilla" scent (whatever that ends up meaning) but I think this could be THE spring/fall vanilla for me

An artful rendering of grown up milky green vanilla - fresh from the vines and bathed gently in benzoin + woods. It's complex, artistic and utterly entrancing... Very special + FB worthy : )

Sweet nutty vanilla-rich herbal almond milk opening, settles into a lightly wooded candied benzoin within the next couple hours. The benzoin really shines in this.
