The story

Vanilla as a luxury ingredient, not a dessert.

Less sweet than the name suggests. Calamus and cassis keep the opening green and tart, osmanthus brings apricot to the heart, and the cacao reads bitter rather than milky. Labdanum gives the finish a resinous weight.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
