Vanilj

Vanilj

Vanilj

2ml eau de parfum

FAMILY: Gourmand
TOP NOTES: vanilla, cardamom
HEART NOTES: patchouli, musk
BASE NOTES: cedar, amber

Using the distinctly traditional Swedish combination of vanilla and cardamon, Vanilj becomes Nordic Cedar's sweeter, more softly spoken sibling. The spicy, earthy aspect of cardamom, patchouli and cedarwood is still present but now somewhat tamed towards a powdery gourmand by the added vanilla note which gives the scent a slightly 'boozy' bourbon facet.

BASE NOTES: musk, leather

Tobak is a dark, pointed yet comforting scent composed of sweet smoky notes of tobacco leaf, vetiver, and warm hints of cinnamon. The base is made up of animalic musks and leather; 'addictive' becomes the word. X
