Inspiration: Vanille 44 by Le Labo . Dua brings another superb release with that timeless apothecary feel; this time it's our inspired scent of a Paris city exclusive. 44 Shades of Vanilla is an extremely exquisite offering that is considered by many perfume critics to be one of the best vanilla scents in the world! No doubt, this is one of the Holy Grail vanilla base scents of the modern perfume era. The vanilla is deep, natural, multifaceted, never syrupy, or overly sweet. The presence is enhanced and embellished by incense, guaiac wood, musk, and the a luscious mandarin which keeps the scent from becoming muted or dull. A composition that makes you swoon from the very first sniff!
