Vanì Charnel
by Epicò
Vanì Charnel is a luscious, gourmand vanilla-caramel fragrance that delivers a rich, buttery, and sumptuous trail reminiscent of dessert. It opens with a delicate sweetness—a fleeting spun sugar and lemon that quickly dissolves into a creamy, full-bodied vanilla core with caramel depth, evoking warm fudge, buttermilk, and a slightly burnt sugar note. The scent is both smooth and comforting, with a soft, cloud-like quality that lingers pleasantly, particularly on fabrics. While some note a faint powdery or lactonic quality not explicitly listed in the notes, the overall character remains firmly rooted in sweet, edible elegance—more caramel-softened vanilla than hard candy or artificial sweetness.
