The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, Van Py Rhum is a unisex fragrance that weaves together the warmth of vanilla and the depth of rum with woody undertones. The composition opens with an ensemble of vanillas — Bourbon, Madagascar, and Tahitian — creating a rich, layered sweetness that evokes memories of homemade desserts. As it settles, rum and caramel add a boozy richness, while tonka bean and black vanilla husk provide earthy warmth. Patchouli and agarwood (oud) ground the scent with woody spiciness, ensuring the fragrance remains complex and engaging throughout the day.
Apply this fragrance with a light hand — the rich vanillas and warm spices can be quite potent. A single spray to each wrist allows the scent to develop naturally on your skin without overpowering. It pairs well with cooler evenings but can also add depth during warmer weather.
