About

Alyssa Ashley's Vanilla opens with a fleeting zest of bergamot and lemon, quickly giving way to a dominant, creamy vanilla heart. A whisper of jasmine provides a soft, powdery floral undertone, but the showstopper here is undeniably the sweet, almost edible vanilla. Imagine freshly baked shortbread, warm and comforting, with a delicate, clean musk lingering in the background. It's a linear, sweet gourmand experience that sticks to the core of its name.
