Vanori

Vanori by Sylvaine Delacourte is a bright, airy, and sunlit vanilla fragrance with a distinct tropical floral character. It opens with a sharp, sparkling grapefruit that gives way to a soft, honeyed frangipani, creating a cheerful, golden-yellow effect that feels like sunlight on skin. The drydown reveals a delicate, natural vanilla and subtle resinous depth, reminiscent of Guerlain's oriental style, with a nearly powdery, gauzy finish. Despite its elegant blending and fresh, natural ingredients, Vanori is neither strong nor long-lasting—its sillage is intimate, and longevity is brief on skin, lasting only a few hours. Some wearers find it too sweet, linear, and faint, with a tendency to fade quickly into the skin, making it a quietly charming complement rather than a statement scent. It works best as a summer daytime wear, especially when applied on clothes or hair for enhanced longevity. While it may be misjudged by some due to its astringent grapefruit note or powdery warmth, many agree it remains a refined, wearable option with a soft-yet-sensual elegance.
