In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

White Meringue by Maiora Parfum presents a bold, sugary gourmand experience centered on lactonic notes and dense sweetness. This unisex fragrance features a prominent opening of condensed milk and coconut, settling into a heart of vanilla and baklava. It creates a thick, edible aura that suits casual cool-weather wear…

Reviews →

Sand + Fog White Vanilla opens with a short burst of orange before settling into thick buttercream, warm vanilla, and spun sugar. Formulated as an alcohol-free perfume oil rollerball, this scent sits close to the skin. It works best during chilly winter days or as a sweet layering base beneath spicy woody fragrances.
