바닐라

I almost passed on this because woody scents can be so heavy, but the vanilla bourbon keeps it light and airy on my skin. The Madagascar vanilla is unmistakably rich, and it lasts through a full workday without ever turning cloying.

The creamy tonka note really balances the bourbon vanilla so it stays warm without turning cloying, and the woody depth lingers beautifully on my skin for hours. I’ve worn it daily for a week and it never feels heavy, even in the afternoon.

The opening hit is that rich woody vanilla, but it’s the tonka that keeps it from turning cloying—hours later it’s still a soft, warm cloak on my skin. Feels like a dressed-up scent you can actually wear to the office without suffocating anyone.
