The story behind the bottle.
Vanilla Shot by Olfactive Studio was launched in 2018 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. This fragrance opens with a striking combination of saffron and aldehydes, creating an aromatic and spicy contrast that immediately grabs attention. The heart reveals dried fruits and coriander, adding a warm sweetness to the composition. As it settles into its base notes of vanilla, myrrh, benzoin, and caramel, Vanilla Shot becomes an enveloping warmth, reminiscent of a comforting embrace.
Apply Vanilla Shot in light layers — the aldehydic opening can be intense initially but fades into a rich vanilla base over time. It pairs well with sweaters or layered clothing to enhance its warmth and coziness.

“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
