About
Jany by Sora Dora is a fragrance for women and men. Jany was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Margaux Le Paih Guérin. The fragrance features Baked Apple, Puff Pastry, Ceylon Cinnamon, Vanilla, Caramel, Nutty Notes, Almond, Apricot, Peach, White Musk, Plum and Osmanthus. Once upon a time... A middle summer garden afternoun. The calm of a sunny nap. And the children’s snack. Jany. She’s getting busy in the kitchen, between sugar and flour. What she loves to prepare, above all other delicacies, is tarte tatin. The butter melts on the glass. She drops grains of brown sugar into it, in the silence of a fine, icy rain. Its scent swirls around the room, echoes to the veranda, travels to the path. Baked apples and cinnamon sticks fade into the exhalations of puff pastry. Then come caramel, almonds and vanilla, powerful aromas that linger into the evening. Antoine’s daughter, Jany carries the fragrance of his recipes, cakes, madeleines and cookies. An original childhood pastry, Jany delivers the aromatic memories of all our unforgettable delicacies. Here’s to your emotions.

The composition opens with a juicy, slightly dark fruit note, moves into a soft floral heart, and settles into a rich Madagascan vanilla base. The fragrance is presented in a bold purple bottle, reinforcing its nostalgic and nocturnal theme.Available in 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml EDP.
