Luminous, unexpectedly dry and sophisticated, it moves beyond the intense sweetness of traditional vanilla fragrances to offer a freer, more modern interpretation of the gourmand.
The fragrance opens with the warmth of rum alongside aromatic mate absolute and a fresh lavender accord, creating an immediate contrast to the richness typically associated with vanilla. At the heart, Sambac jasmine absolute brings floral luminosity, while CO₂-extracted cocoa introduces a deeper gourmand nuance without overwhelming the composition with sweetness.
Bourbon vanilla absolute emerges through the base, enriched by Peruvian balsam absolute and dry woods. Balanced, aromatic and effortlessly wearable, the 7.5ml travel spray makes Universal Vanilla easy to carry and enjoy wherever the day leads.
