Flavia Vanilla Eau

Inspired by the lyrical, shiny-eyed beauty of an Italian girl called Flavia that Michel Almairac once knew, Flavia Vanilla is a dark, minimally smoky floral vanilla with hints of a tropical, humid ylang ylang playing at its edges. The spiced banana flambé of ylang of the opening notes is as attention-getting as a confident lady who dances her way through a crowded piazzo. But there is also a fresh, youthful breeze running through the perfume ? a touch of green magnolia-like notes from the michelia flower that serve to keep the flamboyant sensuality of the custardy ylang firmly in check. Flavia Vanilla is a scent that reminds us that simplicity is the key to true beauty, and that sometimes all that's need is fresh vanilla, flowers, and a trace of smoke to fill the heart with pleasure.
