EDPUnisex
The Story
This collaboration with Kith reimagines vanilla in a way that's anything but ordinary. It opens with a burst of pink peppercorn and bergamot, then settles into a rich, creamy vanilla absolute that's both warm and sophisticated. The base of sandalwood and musk gives it a smooth, lasting finish. It's a vanilla for people who think they don't like vanilla.
