About

Not Vanille opens with a bright, zesty burst of orange and mandarin, spiced up by a hint of fiery ginger. This citrus sparkle soon gives way to a sophisticated heart of jasmine and lily of the valley, accented by a subtle, peppery kick. The base settles into a creamy, comforting musk and amber, with a powdery vanilla that’s soft and refined rather than sickly sweet, grounded by a clean woody accord. It's truly a 'not vanilla' vanilla.
