Vanilla Powder (2016 Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Vanilla Powder is a refined, airy take on vanilla that feels both comforting and sophisticated. The 2016 reformulation smoothed out the edges, making it even more wearable. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot and pink pepper, then settles into a soft, powdery vanilla heart with iris and heliotrope. The base is a warm blend of sandalwood, musk, and benzoin that lingers beautifully.
