The story behind the bottle.
Vanille Exclusive by Mancera was launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Pierre Montale. This Oriental Floral fragrance is a warm embrace of vanilla and sweet accords, with a complex layering that shifts from fruity to floral and then into powdery notes. The opening with osmanthus and white peach introduces a delicate sweetness, which gives way to the rich warmth of whipped cream and brown sugar. At its heart, Indian tuberose and violet blend seamlessly with Egyptian jasmine, creating an alluring and comforting scent that settles into a base of Madagascar vanilla, white musk, amber, and woody notes.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the rich warmth of this fragrance. The sweet top notes dissipate quickly, so it's best applied just before you need its full effect. It reads better close to skin than from a distance, making it perfect for intimate settings rather than formal events.
