An ode to aging and craftsmanship in a travel-ready format — a thick, resinous vanilla perfume that unfolds like a forgotten letter discovered inside an old leather-bound book.Antique Vanilla Elixir is a rich gourmand-amber perfume built around aged Madagascar vanilla absolute, labdanum, and orris butter. It opens with tinctured boozy strawberries and cognac, revealing a heart of deep vanilla beans co-tinted with patchouli, anise, cinnamon, and fennel, before settling into a smooth, resinous base of 4-year aged vanilla absolute, labdanum, and 5-year aged benzoin absolute.Handcrafted in Canada by perfumer Matthew Meleg, this perfume is made in small batches using long-aged vanilla, labdanum, and benzoin absolutes. Each bottle is blended, aged, and finished with the care of an artisan perfume house.Notes:Top: Overripe strawberries, cognacHeart: Vanilla beans, patchouli, anise, cinnamon, fennelBase: Aged vanilla bean absolute, labdanum absolute, benzoin absoluteStyle: Gourmand amber, resinous, warmCharacter: Soft, sweet, spiced, deeply elegantConcentration: Extrait de ParfumSize: 10 mlMade in Canada
