The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2025, Novae Vanilla by Atelier des Ors is crafted by perfumer Marie Salamagne and designed to evoke the rich warmth of vanilla with a modern twist. The fragrance opens with mineral notes that provide an unexpected freshness before transitioning into a heart of mimosa absolute and various forms of vanilla — Bourbon and Madagascar varieties mingle seamlessly, creating a sweet yet sophisticated bouquet. A woody base of amberwood and musk adds depth and longevity, grounding the composition in earthy comfort.

How to wear it

Apply Novae Vanilla in light layers to allow each note to unfold gradually. The mineral top notes dissipate quickly, so focus on the heart and base for lasting warmth. This fragrance is best worn close to skin, where it reads as a subtle yet comforting presence.
