Vahina Sylvaine Delacourte 100ml

Original bottle.

As this floral ballet opens, mandarin and osmanthus, with their soft, apricot-like notes, take the lead.
At its beating heart, my favorite flower, orange blossom, joins hands with exotic blooms, becoming lush and languid.
It melts into vanilla, delicately enhanced with a touch of woods and almond-tinged tonka bean, revealing a fragrance full of surprises.

Vahina is a floral vanilla, or perhaps more precisely, a floriental.
It carries the charm of an exotic vanilla, reminiscent of Gauguin’s sun-drenched paintings — made velvet-soft by the fruity, natural nuance of osmanthus.
Bouquets of white flowers transform Madagascar’s raw vanilla into a radiant floral vanilla, steeped in sunlight.

The result is soft, luminous, a fragrant echo of a perfect summer’s day.
Though undeniably floral and traditionally feminine, the woody, sophisticated tonka bean might well tempt some men to fall for its devastating charm.
