Adi Ale Van - Decembrie 89 Freedom Elixir

Decembrie 89 Freedom Elixir opens on crisp apple and citrus before plunging into a deep, boozy vanilla, Madagascar vanilla and vanilla absolute spiked with rum and warmed by hazelnut. Celebration in a bottle: rich, sweet and unmistakably festive.

The Story

Named for Romania's December 1989 revolution, Adi Ale Van's elixir bottles the giddy warmth of newfound freedom, a maximal gourmand of triple vanilla, dark rum and roasted nuts, enormous in projection and built to last.

The Nose

Composed by Jimmy Bodin for Adi Ale Van, also behind Jousset Parfums Creme Brulee, Jousset Parfums Accident a la Vanille and Jousset Parfums Le Gourmand.

Fragrance Character

Bright fruit and lemon flash at the top, then give way fast to a thick, creamy vanilla core. Rum keeps it boozy and adult; hazelnut adds praline richness; and the triple-vanilla base runs long and loud.

Best Worn

A cold-weather, festive scent, winter nights and celebrations, casual or evening, when you want warmth and presence.

Why the Decembrie 89 Decant

Enormously potent and sweet, a decant is the smart way to test a vanilla bomb of this size before a full bottle.
