Perfumers
"Un bois vanille is a dark, woody interpretation of vanilla rather than a simple sugary gourmand. Its creamy vanilla and coconut facets are contrasted with bitter almond, licorice, sandalwood, and dry woods. Benzoin and tonka bean add a warm, resinous sweetness, while guaiac wood and musk deepen the composition. The fragrance balances dessert-like richness with a shadowy, slightly smoky texture. It has become one of Serge Lutens' most recognizable vanilla fragrances since its 2003 launch. The overall effect is warm, sensual, distinctive, and especially suited to cooler conditions."
