In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotWine Vanilla is a light wood and fruit scent that relies on a gentle contrast between dark fruits and dry powdery notes. The opening of fresh pear and black currant quickly pivots into a dry, iris-like violet that feels clean on skin. It is built for daytime wear in spring when you want a quiet, subtle aura.
Reviews →Sama opens bright and aromatic, with grapefruit, bergamot, pear and black currant over green violet leaf and basil. As it settles, cardamom, ginger and a touch of peach soften the freshness before a woody musky base of vetiver, cedar, sandalwood and amber takes over. It reads as a fresh woody aromatic with fruity lift…
