Vintage Vanilla, Horace’s fifth fragrance, came out in November 2025. Composed by Caroline Dumur, this spicy, leathery vanilla, which Marc Terlet compares to a weathered leather jacket, links nutmeg, cumin and pink pepper to saffron and violet, over a base of vanilla, leather and labdanum.
Caroline Dumur opens Vintage Vanilla with nutmeg, cumin and pink pepper. Saffron and violet occupy the heart, and vanilla joins leather and labdanum in the base.
For the house, Vintage Vanilla belongs to the amber fragrances, gourmand, spicy and woody.
