Not sweet vanilla. Old-room vanilla — the kind that lives in polished wood and drawn curtains, not in dessert.

It opens with the natural state of vanilla — spicy, addicting, a little bit animalique, almost oily itself. Freesia stays quiet, almost absent, and lemon flickers past — bright for a moment, then gone, like sun catching old varnish.

The heart is where it warms. Amber sits deep and resinous, cedarwood brings a dry, architectural spine — beams, cabinets, wood that's been in a room a long time. Plum adds a soft, polished sheen underneath.

At the base, vanilla unfolds in its full beauty — restrained, dark, wrapped in balsam and cistus rather than sugar. Less gourmand, more addictive.

10ml. Glass bottle, gold cap, finished with a genuine citrine quartz roller instead of plain metal — cool against the skin, warm in color, the kind of detail you notice every time you reach for it.

Oil-based, alcohol-free, built on 100% cold-pressed jojoba — technically a liquid wax, not an oil — plus vitamin E. It doesn't fade so much as sink into your skin, staying fresh much longer than other carrier oils. One bottle, worn daily, lasts the better part of a year.

100% Cold-Pressed Jojoba Oil, Fragrance, Vitamin E Oil. Formulated to IFRA standards.
