Vanille de Zanzibar

Vanille de Zanzibar by Boucheron is a refined, unisex vanilla fragrance with a soft and elegant character. It opens with a subtly sharp, citrus-pear note that quickly softens into a sumptuous vanilla heart, enhanced by heliotrope and balsamic nuances. As it dries down, the scent unfolds with deep sandalwood, patchouli, and white musk, creating a warm, powdery, and lightly woody base. The overall effect is very understated—delicate, skin-scent close, with no bold projection or sillage. The fragrance evolves slowly, revealing layers of complexity: a faint smokiness, clean musk, and a delicate powdered almondy sweetness, giving it a mysterious, antique quality. While not a long-lasting or powerful scent, its performance is most consistent when worn through the day or at night, and it feels appropriate for both professional and casual settings. It appeals to those who prefer a sophisticated, warm vanilla without gourmand heaviness or sweetness, leaning more toward a quietly luxurious, almost meditative presence.
