About

Vanille Benjoin captivates at first spritz with a creamy embrace of vanilla and benzoin, layered with the warmth of tonka bean that beckons you in. Sweetness is delicate, revealing floral undertones that linger softly amid a powdery backdrop of leather and cedar. Yet, there's an unexpected freshness-perhaps a hint of almond-giving it a multifaceted depth. As it settles, the fragrance unfolds into a more subdued, intimate skin scent, perfect for quieter moments of reflection or bedtime comfort. However, don’t expect a powerhouse; this scent is more of a whisper than a roar.
