The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Sana Jardin and crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, Vanilla Nomad is an Oriental vanilla fragrance that embodies the spirit of a nomadic journey through warm and aromatic lands. The composition opens with coriander and cardamom, creating a spicy tension before settling into a heart of jasmine and benzoin that adds depth and complexity. At its core, vanilla and sandalwood provide a rich, comforting base, while patchouli and vetiver lend an earthy, woody finish that grounds the entire composition.

How to wear it

Apply Vanilla Nomad with one to two sprays — the aromatic top notes are bright but fade within an hour. The base notes bloom over time, so it’s best applied before you head out for the day or evening.
