OLFACTORY NOTES
~Top Note:
French Vanilla Bean, Vanilla Bourbon, Siam Benzoin
~~Heart Note:
Vanilla Absolute, Green Peppercorn, Vanilla infused Labdanum
~~~Base Note:
As the Ambre notes release subtle resin from Vanilla infused Myrrh and White Frankincense, the composition drifts through a narrow careen of Egyptian Amber and Musk, purified and aged in a vanilla oak barrel. Nuances of oak sift during the olfactory experience.
☥ ☥ ☥ ☥ Perfumer’s Notes:
“Vanilla is a natural perfume component that sweetens and deepens the experience of our sense memory. When vanilla notes are blended into saphir and aged with oak, this heightens the experience from the woods in the naturally created ambre and gives the perfume a body of delight on the skin to be worn again and again.” ~Emerson Hart, eNVie Perfumer Composer

Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a 1/32 imp decant from Ajevie. The label features the year and the company name across the font in large burgundy and purple font. The back of the label has the company name and scent notes in small black font, while the name of the scent is above that in larger stylized black font. The bottle appears as follows:
Scent:
- ITI: Light, benzoin sweet vanilla with a beautiful, resinous airiness over a sophisticated amber. It makes me think of the most elevated buttercream frosting that one might expect from a designer bakery.
- Wet: There’s a really interesting layering effect happening with the sweet, vanillic tones. The creamy, exotic vanilla tones undulate at the top, floating over a pepper and frankincense-spiced ambered benzoin (still vanillic, but deliciously balsamic). This scent is a lush, sensual spa-like vanilla on the skin (like the honeymoon kind).
- Dry: After 8 hours, the scent has settled into a smooth ambered French vanilla, sophisticated and lightly labdanum-sweetened with flashes of peppercorn and oak underneath, rounding the scent and enhancing the complexities of the vanilla.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Frozen yogurt shop in Tampa, Florida.” -Tony
