The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Essential Parfums, Divine Vanille is a captivating Oriental Vanilla fragrance created by perfumer Olivier Pescheux. The composition opens with the warmth of cinnamon and black pepper, which gives way to an aromatic heart of clary sage and osmanthus. At its core, Madagascar vanilla takes center stage, enveloped in the balsamic richness of tonka bean and Siam benzoin. Texas cedar and patchouli add a woody depth, while musk provides a powdery finish that lingers long after application.

How to wear it

Apply Divine Vanille in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The spicy top notes are intense but brief, so a few sprays will ensure the rich vanilla and balsamic base notes remain prominent throughout the day.
