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.

Application Tips
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.
