The Scoop
Axis by French Avenue captures the creamy vanilla-forward character of Vanille Antique reasonably well, with a similar sweet tonka and soft amber base. However, the clone tends to have slightly less sophistication in the citrus opening and the sandalwood plays a more prominent role, making it feel less refined and slightly warmer overall compared to the original's delicate balance.
Key Differences
The clone offers shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours on Byredo) and slightly more pronounced sandalwood in the dry-down, making it feel less antique and refined. Sillage is also more linear and less evolving throughout the wear time.

What wearers say
“There’s one thing you need to remember: let this perfume macerate. It only shows up fully after at least one month after you macerate it, but then you would probably have a beautiful, warm and charming scent that totally unique, unisex with great longevity.”
“This smells a little like liquid brun, however; that one is much better. This one, to my nose, smells like wood chips in a hamster cage.LOL! I do not like it.”
