Launched in 2021 by Mix Bar, Vanilla Bourbon is an Oriental vanilla fragrance that balances the sweetness of its namesake with warm spices and woody notes. Patricia Choux crafted this composition to create a distinctive olfactory experience — not just another vanilla scent. The black pepper and bergamot provide a fresh spicy contrast to the rich Madagascar vanilla orchid and amber, while sandalwood adds depth and warmth.

Application Tips
Apply Vanilla Bourbon to pulse points and let it build naturally. The black pepper top note dissipates quickly, so the heart and base notes will take center stage after about an hour. It reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
