By the editors · 2 min readVanilla from the first second, and it stays vanilla. The opening is unmistakable — a thick, slightly boozy pod note with the resinous edge of styrax already audible underneath, more pastry kitchen than perfume counter.
Midway through, sandalwood softens the sweetness with a creamy, lightly milky woodiness, but the vanilla refuses to step aside. Styrax in the base adds a smoky-balsamic depth that keeps the whole thing from collapsing into dessert — there's a faint tobacco-leather shadow at the edges, the kind you get when benzoin-family resins meet vanillin. Projection is intimate to moderate, sitting close like warm skin.
Overall a focused, single-minded vanilla soliflore with just enough resinous grit to read adult.
