Launched by the French fragrance house Affinessence in 2015, and created by house founder Sophie Bruneau in collaboration with perfumer Corinne Cachen, Vanille-Benjoin is an Amber Vanilla fragrance with an aromatic profile of amber, vanilla, woody, warm spicy, leather, sweet, powdery, and balsamic accords. Notes Siam Benzoin, Tahitian Vanilla, Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Moroccan Cedar, Chinese Cedar, Ambroxan, Leather From Affinessence: "To showcase this exceptional marriage, AFFINESSENCE has combined two types of VANILLA (Tahitian Vanilla Absolute, intensely fragranced with leather overtones and the sweet scent of Madagascan Vanilla Absolute) and blended them with an exquisite alter ego: Siamese BENZOIN, a fragrant Resin originating in Laos, highly valued for its balsamic and almond notes. As Ambroxan, enfolded in Tonka Bean and Moroccan and Chinese Cedar, exudes its carnal notes, the Benzoin transcends the Vanilla with its intoxicating scent as if to better diffuse its spellbinding trail." "Like luxury underwear, these perfumes can be worn divinely on their own, as exceptional perfumes. They produce a powerful effect, with extreme sensuality and an instantly recognisable trail. … or with others! These perfumes are divine on both your skin and your cashmere. They can also be worn under your everyday perfume to make it even more sensual, for a brand new fragrance! You can create your own signature perfume… a truly unique, bespoke fragrance, just for you!" Available are 50ml and 100ml sizes in the standard black cardboard box presentation. Luxury 100ml presentations are available by contacting us for a special order.
