Va Va Vanilla – Extrait de Parfum

Sarah Baker – a London perfume house founded by artist Sarah Baker, who, together with Andy Hsu, tells fragrances like little film scenes from a studio in East London.

Va Va Vanilla is the present in Sarah Baker's Vanilla Trilogy – dusk, the place where dark meets light. Espresso martinis and Manhattans mingle with a voluptuous, milky vanilla, black cherry and cinnamon add sparkle, and beneath them hum a low, throaty saffron and the softest leather. Crushed nuts, rum, guaiac and sandalwood make it something very grown-up.

Va Va Vanilla suits evenings at the bar, dates and the cold season – and anyone who likes their vanilla with nightlife.

What makes Va Va Vanilla special to us is the atmosphere: you can practically smell the speakeasy, with coffee, cocktails and a touch of leather. A team favourite – silky, seductive and unmistakably adult.
