By the editors · 2 min readSensual Vanilla opens with a layered floral-citrus accord — lavender, bergamot, and rose together, each note clear rather than blurred — before the composition settles into a heart centered on Madagascar vanilla. That vanilla is the distinguishing choice: it has a slight floral character distinct from synthetic vanillin, softer and slightly green, which keeps the jasmine and lily in the heart from reading as merely decorative.
The base is generous — sandalwood, amber, heliotrope, and musk accumulate into something warm and skin-close, the heliotrope adding an almond-inflected powder that bridges floral and gourmand without committing to either. Vanilla recurs here, deepening what arrived in the heart.
This is a wearable, crowd-appropriate feminine that leans into warmth over freshness. Works in both office and evening contexts in spring and fall.
