Vanilla Affair

Nathalie Lorson’s interpretation of vanilla has far more depth, contrast and edge than classic sweetness. The composition opens with Balkan tobacco, warm and lightly honeyed, before the vanilla gradually takes over.

Two distinct facets of vanilla create tension within the fragrance – one softer and more enveloping, the other drier and more untamed. Amber brings warmth and structure, while white musk rounds out the composition and lets it linger close to the skin.

The result is a woody amber-vanilla fragrance that feels sensual without becoming heavy, and rich without veering too far into gourmand territory.
