VANILLE DE SAMBAVA

Vanille de Sambava is a unisex eau de parfum by Noème Paris, the Parisian haute parfumerie house whose name means “the inaccessible”, from the philosophical concept of the noema. It is a spicy vanilla gourmand, fresh and sensual, paying tribute to the vanilla of Madagascar.

The Fragrance

Vanille de Sambava is an invitation to lose yourself in the lush nature of the jungle and to feel the life force of nature in its purest state. Sambava, on the north-eastern coast of Madagascar, is the land of vanilla: the fragrance captures its richness, where vanilla fills the air with its subtle, intoxicating sweetness. It is an ode to the power and delicacy of nature, a sensory journey into a lush, secret paradise. It belongs to the Signature collection, which the house presents as its very essence, and is signed by perfumer Emna Doghri.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is fruity and lively: bergamot and orange meet apple, coconut and the spark of pink pepper. In the heart the fragrance becomes warm and gourmand, with cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate, softened by the grace of orris and peony. In the base, vanilla blends with rum and tonka bean, in a creamy, enveloping, sensual trail.

Who We Recommend Vanille de Sambava To

We recommend Vanille de Sambava to those who love vanilla in a spicy, nuanced version, and to anyone looking for an elegant gourmand that is never predictable. It is perfect in autumn, winter and spring, by day as well as in the evening. Unisex, it suits him and her.
