Guerlain Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 Decant | 2ml 5ml

Guerlain's ultimate vanilla. 21 days. One overdose. Perfection in a bottle.

Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 is the culmination of Guerlain's 100-year obsession with vanilla — a house that has been using it in excess since Jacques Guerlain created Shalimar in 1925. The 21 refers to the number of days the vanilla pods are cold-soaked in alcohol by hand to create the tincture at the heart of this fragrance. It is the purest, most concentrated, most elevated vanilla Guerlain has ever created.

This is not a sweet or sugary vanilla. This is vanilla in its most serious form: thick, spicy-balsamic, creamy, and complex. Spiced notes punctuate the warmth, giving the composition tension and character. The legendary Guerlain amber accord — opopanine — wraps everything in a velvety, sophisticated base alongside musks that ensure the whole trail lingers on skin and clothes for hours.

Fragrance enthusiasts call this toe-curling. Others say it changed their relationship with vanilla entirely. A full bottle is $660+. The decant exists exactly for this.
