VANILLE LEATHER

BDK Parfums signs Vanille Leather, a mysterious and enveloping unisex eau de parfum, part of the Collection Studio inspired by fashion textures: a tribute to Madagascan vanilla meeting leather.

The Fragrance

Vanille Leather was born from perfumer Dominique Ropion's wish to blend a precious vanilla pod with a bouquet of white flowers, gradually unveiling its warm, sensual character. An elixir of white flowers accompanied by precious Madagascan vanilla and smoky leather accords.

How It Evolves on Skin

Vanille Leather opens with pink pepper and a violet accord, a spicy, powdery entrance. The heart brings Indian tuberose absolute, Egyptian jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute, for an intense, sensual white floral passage. The base settles on Madagascan vanilla, Indonesian patchouli, oakwood, a leather accord, orris and benzoin resinoid, closing with a warm, enveloping, mysterious finish.

Who We Recommend Vanille Leather To

Vanille Leather is made for those who love white flowers taken in a warm, leathery direction, far from the more predictable gourmands. It's perfect for those looking for a sensual, enveloping fragrance to reserve for the cold season, and for those who love fragrances that combine sweetness and character in a single accord.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

What convinces us about Vanille Leather is the way vanilla is held in check by leather, never slipping into pure sweetness: it's a grown-up, almost sophisticated vanilla. It's one of those fragrances that white floral lovers end up appreciating precisely for this unexpected balance.

FAQ

Why does Vanille Leather pair vanilla with leather?
Perfumer Dominique Ropion's idea was to let the warm sweetness of Madagascan vanilla dialogue with a smoky leather accord, for a result more complex than a simple gourmand fragrance.

Is Vanille Leather a sweet fragrance?
Not in the classic sense: vanilla is present but balanced by intense white flowers and a base of leather and oakwood that give it depth and character.

Is Vanille Leather suited to every season?
Its warmth and sensuality make it especially suited to autumn and winter, though it remains enjoyable year-round for those who love enveloping fragrances.
