Vanilla Powder (2020 Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Vanilla Powder is a refined take on vanilla that avoids the usual sweetness. The 2020 reformulation uses a higher concentration of natural vanilla absolute, giving it a richer, more authentic character. It opens with a burst of pink pepper and bitter almond, then settles into a creamy, powdery vanilla with a touch of sandalwood. This is a vanilla for people who think they don't like vanilla.
