Un bois vanille
A smooth, warm vanilla-wood fragrance with smoky sandalwood and a bitter licorice edge. Dense but intimate, it wears close to the skin and lingers with a soft balsamic depth.
Scent Development and Character
A dense vanilla-wood composition built from Mexican black vanilla, sandalwood, and liquorice. It feels smooth, slightly smoky, and balsamic, with a warm gourmand sweetness that stays close to the skin rather than projecting sharply.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best worn in cool weather or evening settings; it sits close to the body, creating an intimate rather than expansive trail. The scent evolves into a deeper, softer vanilla-wood warmth over time. Best in autumn and winter, especially cool evenings. Sillage is Moderate-to-soft sillage with a close, intimate aura. Longevity is Long-lasting, typically around 7–8 hours on skin.
Perfumer and Bottle
Released in 2003, this is presented as Eau de Parfum and credited to Christopher Sheldrake. Clear rectangular glass spray bottle with a black cap; the official product page presents the Eau de Parfum spray format rather than any special edition bottle.
