Tangier Vanille D'Or
by Aerin Lauder
Tangier Vanille D'Or is a warm, spiced vanilla fragrance designed for intentional wear in cooler months. It opens with a subtle fruity note from plum, balanced by bergamot and Bulgarian rose, but the dominant impression quickly shifts to a rich, velvety vanilla core enhanced by saffron, myrrh, and woody amber notes. The scent projects with moderate to strong sillage, clinging closely to the skin, and develops a deep, cloaked drydown with sandalwood, crystal amber, and tonka bean. The result is a smooth, slightly resinous vanilla with a subtle plasticky-amber nuance that some find off-putting early on, though it settles into a serene, intimate warmth. It feels more personal and introspective rather than loud or showy.
Pros
- +Delicate yet persistent sillage that lingers close to the skin
- +Redolent, complex vanilla enriched with saffron and myrrh—ideal for lovers of structured, spicy vanilla
- +Well-blended and sophisticated, making it suitable for both evening wear and cooler seasons
Cons
- −Can project a plastic-like or rubbery nuance early on, though it fades
- −Less emphasis on top notes like plum or bergamot, which gives it a less expressive opening
- −Wears moderately strong rather than punchy, and may not project far beyond moderate range
