Description
Vanillade transcends traditional vanilla fragrances with a sophisticated, debonair composition that challenges preconceptions about the note. This dashing scent opens with bright citrus peel, almond flower, and coconut flower, creating an invigorating sparkle that uplifts the senses before vanilla takes center stage. The heart reveals a spiced, complex vanilla character enriched by sweet florals, while the base weaves in patchouli and benzoin resinoid to add gentle earthiness and resinous depth. Far from cloying or synthetic, this fresh and lively fragrance delivers a smooth, sophisticated vanilla experience perfect for both refined gentlemen and elegant ladies. Created by Marie Duchene for unisex wear.
