Vanille Paradoxe

Vanille Paradoxe is a delicate, herbal-woody vanilla that unfolds with surprising complexity. It opens with a crisp, aromatic blend of grapefruit, juniper berries, and rosemary, creating a fresh, almost medicinal green note that lingers briefly before yielding to the core vanilla. The cardamom and cedar contribute subtle warmth and spice, while the vanilla remains cool and dry rather than sweet or gourmand. Ambroxan and musk lend a clean, slightly synthetic support that enhances longevity and diffusion. The scent evolves into a nuanced, musky vanilla with a powdery earthiness, giving it a unisex character that leans masculine due to the herbal and spicy accords. The scent is most effective in autumn and winter, where its cozy, slightly smoky warmth feels appropriate and intimate. Despite its moderate sillage, it shows strong performance and stays on the skin for hours.
