by Kyse Perfumes
Fumée Vanilla Kyse is a warm, gourmand vanilla fragrance with a smoky, earthy foundation dominated by coffee and oakmoss. It opens with a bitter, resiny coffee and mossiness that quickly softens into a rich, creamy vanilla that evokes smoky vanilla extract, chocolate chip cookie dough, or even a slice of vanilla gelato in a cozy espresso bar. The scent is not overtly sweet—more buttery and slightly chocolatey without actual chocolate notes—but most users agree it develops a surprisingly photorealistic, dough-like sweetness in the drydown. Longevity is moderate, with most users noting it lasts through the day or into the night, and sillage is typically moderate to strong. It is especially favored in autumn and winter, and appeals most to those who enjoy vanilla-centered scents with a smoky, earthy edge rather than a clean or fresh profile.
