Vanille & Narcisse

by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni

L'Occitane en Provence Vanille & Narcisse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. Vanille & Narcisse opens with Blackcurrant and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Narcissus and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean and Vanilla. L'Occitane en Provence's Vanille & Narcisse carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

A truly divisive modern classic: some find it a gorgeous, comforting vanilla with a floral twist, others struggle with its balsamic, smoky, or even synthetic facets. This one's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so prepare for strong opinions.

Its moderate sillage and good longevity mean it's present but not overwhelming, making it suitable for casual wear or dates. The warm, comforting vanilla and floral blend steers it away from being an ideal office choice, and it's too rich for sport.

About

Vanille & Narcisse opens with a fleeting spark of blackcurrant and bergamot, quickly softening into a surprisingly deep and rich vanilla core. Powdery narcissus and gardenia weave through, adding an elegant, slightly green floral dimension that stops it from becoming overtly gourmand. As it settles, the warmth of tonka bean emerges, creating a creamy, balsamic embrace, sometimes leaning into a smoky or even boozy character, offering a comforting and somewhat vintage appeal.
