Vanille Insensée
Vanille Insensée is an unexpected and addictive contrast between pure, transparent vanilla and woody moss. It opens with a crisp blend of lime, cedrat, and coriander, creating a bright, slightly spicy freshness. The heart reveals jasmine, Haitian vetiver, and oakmoss, adding a green, earthy depth. The base of Madagascan vanilla, oakwood, and amber is dry, warm, and subtly sweet, making it a vanilla fragrance for those who don't usually like vanilla.
