The story behind the bottle.
Vanille Exquise by Goutal was launched in 2004 and crafted by perfumers Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. This Oriental Vanilla fragrance encapsulates a warm, enveloping embrace of vanilla and almond notes, balanced with a subtle musky base that evokes the comfort of a well-loved home. The powdery and woody accords add depth, creating a composition that is both sweet and sophisticated.
Apply Vanille Exquise sparingly — its rich base notes will unfold gradually over time. A single spritz to your pulse points in the morning will ensure that it blooms naturally throughout the day without overpowering.
