Fragrance Profile
Inspired by the romance of Alfred d’Orsay and Marguerite Blessington, Vanilla Affair explores vanilla through tobacco, resin and warm woods. Balkan tobacco introduces an aromatic, honeyed character, enriched by the comforting warmth of tonka bean and cistus.
At its heart, two vanilla extractions reveal complementary textures. Madagascar vanilla absolute brings depth and a subtle leathery edge, while Bourbon vanilla CO₂ adds creamy sweetness with delicate woody and spicy nuances.
Patchouli, amber and white musk complete the composition with an enveloping warmth. Sensual and gently smoky, Vanilla Affair offers a layered vanilla experience, balancing gourmand richness with the depth of tobacco and woods.
Performance
An enveloping extrait with a rich amber and musk trail. Tobacco and vanilla remain central as its warmer, woody facets develop.
Ideal For
