Just what we're always on the look-out for – a vanilla scent that is sophisticated and complex, but still delicious and comforting. Vanitas opens with a chilly dose of myrrh, which is almost medicinal at first, but as it warms on the skin, its deep, resinous sweetness emerges and blends with the creamy warmth of truly excellent vanilla. Delicate orange flower enhances the high notes, and sandalwood adds a dark golden bass line – but the heart of this accord is the exquisite pairing of vanilla and myrrh. The myrrh adds mystery to all the luscious qualities we love in vanilla and brings in a dark sweetness that is not at all food like. Happily, it adds just enough of a cool edge to keep things intriguing, but not enough to overpower our beloved vanilla. Soft, enveloping and tantalizing - this is the grown-up vanilla we've dreamed about.
A fragrance tester is an entirely new, unused product that has never been sprayed. These testers are genuine, fresh, and 100% original, featuring the exact same fragrance as the full-priced version. Manufacturers produce testers, which might come in simple packaging and lack decorative caps. As a result, they are offered at a lower price, and we pass those savings directly to you.
