The Story
Vanille Café is a warm, comforting gourmand that smells exactly like a freshly brewed cup of coffee with a generous splash of vanilla. It opens with a rich coffee note that is both bitter and sweet, then softens into a creamy vanilla and caramel heart. The drydown is a cozy blend of sandalwood and musk that lingers on the skin. This is a fragrance for those who love the scent of their morning coffee and want to wear it all day.
