Divine Vanille

Essential Parfums – a Parisian niche perfumery that puts great perfumers in the spotlight and relies on refillable, sustainable bottles.

Divine Vanille opens with an accord of cinnamon bark, at its heart bright tobacco, dried fruits and the leathery-sensual nuances of osmanthus unfold, before vanilla absolute, tonka bean and benzoin resin lay down a soft, balsamic base, underlaid with a creamy woodiness of cedarwood, patchouli and musk.

Divine Vanille suits the cooler season best, from the first autumn days into winter – a gender-neutral scent for anyone who likes vanilla not as a sweet cliché, but as a layered, warm accord.

What convinces us about Divine Vanille is how Olivier Pescheux never lets the sustainably sourced vanilla absolute from Madagascar become a pure dessert scent: tobacco, osmanthus and patchouli give it a leathery, almost smoky depth that makes the sweet core feel grown-up.

THE SNUD SCENT GUIDE

Everything you want to know about this scent.

Warm and enveloping, yet never heavy – a skin scent that grows softer and more balsamic over time instead of turning cloyingly sweet.
