Vanuatu – Extrait de Parfum

SORA DORA – a French niche perfume house by Quentin Soradora that tells a family story across four generations with every scent, from Antoine Soradora's emigration from Portugal to the jasmine fields of Grasse.

Vanuatu is green, woody and lightly spiced. Fig, rhubarb, black pepper, cardamom and bergamot open sharp and fresh, violet leaf and cumin meet at the heart in a green, faintly animalic core, before sandalwood, cedarwood and patchouli settle into a deep, woody base.

Vanuatu works all year round, day or night. The scent is a mysterious signature for anyone drawn to unexpected paths.

What makes Vanuatu special to us is its origin – sandalwood from Melanesia, wrapped in fig leaves that lend it a volcanic, almost raw edge. A scent that brings olfactory mystery into the story.
