  • What does Vanilla Vice smell like?

    Vanilla Vice smells like creamy vanilla ice cream layered with Madagascar vanilla, sparkling sugar, jasmine sambac, musk, amberwood, and orcanox. The result is a rich but balanced gourmand fragrance with soft floral, musky, and woody accents. The fragrance opens with a rich ice cream accord and Madagascar vanilla, creating a smooth, indulgent sweetness that feels familiar without smelling like a simple vanilla extract. Sparkling sugar adds a light touch of sweetness, giving the opening a playful quality while letting the vanilla remain the star.

    Jasmine sambac brings a fresh floral contrast to the creamy sweetness. Its soft, luminous character keeps the fragrance from becoming too heavy, adding a delicate layer that complements the richness of the ice cream and vanilla.

    What does musk smell like in a fragrance?

    Musk is often used to give a fragrance a soft, warm, skin-like quality. In Vanilla Vice, it helps smooth the sweeter vanilla and ice cream notes while adding a subtle sense of warmth to the dry-down.

"One of my personal vices, vanilla, carries a world of inspiration for me. I wanted to start from this darker vanilla space and juxtapose it with the decadence of vanilla ice cream to create the ultimate sinful delight."
- Patricia
Perfumer talking about Vanilla Vice

“smells like freshly churned vanilla bean ice cream.”
