Vanille 44 unisex

Scent story

To me this smells like walking past a Paris church at night in the rain, when incense from the evening service is still hanging in the cold air. Bergamot, mandarin and aldehydes open bright and almost metallic, and then the incense takes over — dry, smoky, contemplative. The vanilla underneath is Bourbon and dark, nothing like the sweet kind. Guaiac wood and musk dry it down into something woody and intimate, like a wool coat that has absorbed a whole evening. This is vanilla disguised as a city night: cozy, chic, and not remotely innocent. Beginner-friendly.
