Davana & Vanille
100 Bonview all“Playful but never juvenile. One for after dark.”
The story
Imagine lounging on a sun-drenched terrace overlooking a tropical coastline, with a glass of artisanal fruit punch in one hand and the scent of exotic vanilla vines wafting on the breeze. 100 Bon’s Davana & Vanille is that vacation in a bottle. It’s a playful, vibrant, and sun-kissed fragrance that doesn't take itself too seriously. The star here is the davana—a unique, herb-like fruitiness that has a slightly boozy, apricot-like quality, making it far more interesting than your standard tropical scent. It opens with a bright, citrusy zing that feels like a burst of pure sunshine. As it develops, the vanilla emerges, but it’s a natural, airy vanilla that avoids being cloyingly sweet or "cupcake-like." Instead, it feels warm and comforting, like the sun on your skin. There’s a beautiful woody base that adds just enough structure to keep the fruits and vanilla from floating away. It’s a cheerful, uplifting scent that is perfect for those who want to carry a bit of summer with them year-round. It’s youthful without being immature, and sophisticated without being stuffy. This is your ultimate companion for beach days, brunch with friends, or any time you need a literal breath of fresh, tropical air.
What We Love
- Uses high-quality natural ingredients to create a tropical vanilla scent that feels authentic and airy rather than synthetic and heavy, making it much easier to wear daily.
- The davana note adds a sophisticated, boozy fruitiness that is rarely found in this price range, providing a unique twist on the classic "vanilla" fragrance category for enthusiasts.
- An excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers, as the brand focuses on sustainable sourcing and transparent ingredient lists without sacrificing the overall quality or appeal of the scent.
Worth Knowing
- Longevity is on the lighter side due to its natural formulation, so you’ll likely need to reapply every few hours to keep the tropical vibes going strong throughout the day.
- The projection is quite intimate, making it more of a personal "bubble" scent rather than one that will be noticed by everyone in a room you've just entered.
- The "boozy" quality of the davana might not appeal to everyone, as it can occasionally lean into a slightly overripe fruit territory on certain skin types or in high heat.
