Eau de Parfum 0.34 fl.oz.
A universal material, vanilla is the fruit of the wild orchid. We wanted to return to this exotic fruit, to this black pod that one opens with delight so that it releases its sensual softness. By moving away from the gourmand, very sweet vanilla, we restore to this substance its ancestral depth. Its scent becomes smooth and powerful, sensual but never cloying. In Une Vanille, Madagascar black vanilla is paired with tonka bean with its almond-like facets. A final touch that transmutes the original scent of this fruit, whose aroma plays between softness and power, the obvious and the mysterious, at once so natural and supernatural.
Perfumer: Anne-Sophie Behaghel
An indispensable note in perfumery, vanilla oscillates between soft and creamy notes, woody and spicy, with facets of leather, caramel or tobacco. Our vanilla absolute is cultivated in the Sava region of Madagascar, the world capital of vanilla harvesting with its ancestral expertise.
In the early morning, from October to December, the "pollinators" identify vanilla flowers ready to be fertilized and delicately bring the pistil and stamen into contact. After harvesting, it is processed and extracted in workshops in Grasse. Due to its rarity and high demand, its price can reach up to $600 per kilogram.

Personalize your fragrance with layering
To create a unique fragrance that matches your current desires, your mood, or your outfit, you can combine OBVIOUS fragrances together. For a successful signature, OBVIOUS recommends using two fragrances.
Here are our fragrance suggestions for pairings with Une Vanille.
- Une Vanille + Un Musc = An even sweeter, more indulgent vanilla with facets of white chocolate and bitter almond
- Une Vanille + Un Bois = The wood refreshes the vanilla, strips away its sweetness, making it almost bergamot-like
- Une Vanille + Un Patchouli = A gourmand fragrance where the vanilla enhances the tonka bean facet of Un Patchouli. The smoky leather facet of the vanilla is highlighted.
