The story behind the bottle.
Vanille 44 Paris, launched by Le Labo in 2007 and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, is a sophisticated woody fragrance that seamlessly blends the warmth of vanilla with smoky and balsamic notes. The opening hints at citrus freshness before giving way to a heart rich in powdery and warm spicy elements, grounding the composition in an enveloping cocoon of amber and woodsy undertones.
Apply this fragrance lightly — the balsamic and woody notes develop best close to skin. It blooms slowly over time, so it's ideal for an evening out rather than a daytime spritz.
