Eau de Missions opens with very boozy, rum-like vanilla that is infused with lemon, dry cedar, and darkly spicy, smoky resins. The lemon is sharp, but the vanilla is truly lovely with a deep, rich aroma that isn’t ridiculously sweet or painfully sugared. It’s like a dark, rather alcoholic, Bourbon vanilla with a faint whisper of creaminess underlying it, instead of the more common vanilla custard, crème anglaise, or sugared icing varieties. The cedar and the fresh, crisp lemon cut through any potential excess, while the smokiness of the styrax keeps the vanilla on the darker side. Don’t get me wrong, Eau de Missions is a very sweet fragrance, but it doesn’t feel suffocating, cloying or gooey, and it’s all thanks to the other notes.
