The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 and crafted by Laurent Le Guernec, Vanilla in Bourbon by Scents of Wood is a richly layered composition that balances the warmth of vanilla with the depth of woody and spicy notes. The fragrance opens with cinnamon and cardamom, creating an initial burst of spice that quickly gives way to the comforting embrace of vanilla, underscored by the earthy tones of myrrh and guaiac wood. This interplay between sweetness and warmth makes Vanilla in Bourbon a versatile scent suitable for both day and night.
Apply two sprays to ensure the rich vanilla notes can fully integrate with your skin's warmth. This fragrance blooms over an hour, so give it time to settle before heading out.
