Ripe plum opens it dark and a little brooding, while vanilla sits underneath from the start, smoothing any sharp edges as it develops. Launched in 2026 for women, it carries a reflective, nocturnal mood better suited to quiet evenings than bright afternoons. Autumn and winter are when voters reach for it, mostly after dark and into the evening. On longevity, opinion leans toward long-lasting, and the sillage vote comes out clearly moderate, close rather than loud. A 3ml decant is enough to sit with its plum-and-vanilla mood before you choose a bigger size. ## Decant sizes - 3ml: €8.55 - 10ml: €26.19 Ships within 1 working day ## Frequently asked questions ### Shipping and returns We ship across the EU.
