Vanille

Rum and petitgrain crack open like citrus-soaked wood, clove smoke threading through before vanille settles into its true temperament. A creamy tonka heart glows beneath vetiver's mineral green and sandalwood's warm grain, while ylang-ylang adds faint honeyed silk. The base unfolds slowly—amber and leather ground it in something almost animalic, tolu balsam and Madagascar vanilla wrapping around musk to create a skin-close finish that smells less like dessert and more like amber-tinted warmth pooling at the pulse point.
