Ilhabela

Ilhabela takes its name from the island off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. Its subject extends beyond blue water and white sand to the jungle behind them, where the house imagines flowers releasing the scent of spice and vanilla. Introduced in 2024, the eau de parfum is credited to Amélie Bourgeois and Jean-Claude Ellena, translating the island's abundance into a gourmand amber.

Mandora essence brings citrus to an opening of cinnamon and sweet almond. Geranium, heliotrope and black vanilla share the heart, combining a softer floral powderiness with a sweeter presence. Cane sugar and ambroxan form the base, giving that sweetness warmth and a more distinct outline rather than leaving it as vanilla alone.

Consider it for an evening outing, or when you want vanilla combined with flowers and spice. The 100mL bottle has a glossy black cylindrical body and a broad black cap. Gold-coloured lettering appears on the large front label, surrounding a framed botanical motif with Ilhabela printed beneath it.
