OrientalNotes: Mexican Black Vanilla, Sandalwood and Liquorice.A smooth, creamy masterpiece that puts the multi-faceted elements of Vanilla on a pedestal, supported by deeper wood tones, Un Bois Vanille leads us deep into Aztec Mexico, tracing the footsteps of Hernan Cortés, conquistador and discoverer of the sweet, intoxicating pods filled with opulent seeds of spice.Falling under Serge Lutens’ luxurious Collection Noire, made up of wearable perfumes each representing a moment of ourselves, Un Bois Vanille unleashes a soft, sensual scent with a spiced milky warmth. Perhaps it triggers a comforting moment, encapsulating a glorious moment frozen in time, or childhood nostalgia reminiscent of sweet summer treats, ice-creams at the beach and innocent pleasures.Bursting open with a dense and heady oriental entrance, the fragrance shines a spotlight on gourmande notes of Mexican Black Vanilla, which smells like caramelised brown sugar. As the fragrance unfolds and transitions seamlessly to the mid, it introduces a more traditional sweetness, a warm crème brûlée straight out the oven, before settling to a dry-down of Liquorice joined by Sandalwood.The unisex fragrance boasts a long-lasting sillage, thanks to its eau de parfum concentration, expertly blended using premium-grade, raw, natural-origin materials.Sleek, elegant and understated, the EDP is bottled in a rectangular flacon made from clear glass and topped with a black, domed lid.
