Alternatives to Bath & Body Works Vanilla Ease

Perfumer: Kévin Mathys

In this perfume story, the smoky gaiac aroma is gliding across a fresh and boundless ozonic void.

The story is open to interpretation: you can smell the waterproof canvas of the parachute gear in the abstract clean woodiness of the formula; or the air from under the tarpaulin you pull off a glider in its hangar; or think of any scenario involving flying machinery and an unlimited supply of fresh air.

The perfumer wanted to achieve a hazy floating shadow of an aroma, evoking a sensation of endless dark blue space, the calm humming of an engine, and hints of gasoline or machine oil. A worthy heir to the grandpa of all hazy smoky formulas inspired by airplane wings: Guerlain’s Vol de Nuit.

Lances is a Spanish word that means the fleeting but decisive moments that change everything ever after. Risks are taken, character is forged. This extrait embodies this risk and reward dynamic with the high-contrast tension between hazelnut and four varieties of lavender. The effect is intriguingly ambiguous, simultaneously pulled towards the gourmand with the help of vanilla and sandalwood, while maintaining an aromatic aloofness thanks to the lavender and cedarwood.

Perfumer: Jean-Christophe Hérault

It is the energy of myth and the elegance of the garden that inspire a refined and vigorous essence.

Bergamot and juniper berries become full-bodied on a carpet of incense, fading into the persistent fascination of oriental wood.

The presence of a marble Hercules in the garden of the perfumer’s house, triumph of courage and immortality, elevates to myth the creations of Agatho and the Giardinodiercole becomes a perfume.

Perfumer: Frank Voelkl translated this captivating and romantic jazz piece with Jeff Buckley's interpretation in mind.

The tart sweetness of bergamot and yuzu is the pale moon rising over a landscape of aromatic lavender and silky sandalwood. The sharpness of cedarwood begins to subtly assert itself, underscored by a violet echo of orris, inviting you into a realm of serene oblivion.

Bon Parfumeur add another tome on their shelf of fresh crisp woody genre.

702 is a mix of rich incense balanced with earthy bitter sweet freshness of lavender.

PS: Bon Parfumeur chose a magnificent quality of lavender from the South of France, produced by IFF-LMR. This supreme olfactory quality makes all the difference.

A timeless, traditional cologne: fresh, versatile and eternally elegant like all true classics. The fragrance expresses all its radiant freshness with the most intoxicating citrus aromas: Bergamot, Lemon and Orange are a perfect contrast to the Lavender and invigorating Mediterranean herbs.

Aragon is an olfactory tribute to the Aragon region of Spain, the birthplace of Mallo. A unique aromatic fougere, the scent showcases local aromatic plant extracts from cypress, basil, thyme, rosemary and artemisia. Added to this busy mix is the pipirigallo flower, exclusive to the region. The scent is rounded off by mossy, resinous elements for a warm, enveloping feel.

Arc is a natural fougere with a concentration of around 40%. Perfumer Rajesh Balkrishnan has summoned a glorious symphony of sunkissed herbs, lavender, jasmine and pine, grounded by the deep earthy richness of oakmoss. The cinnamon spice of styrax and the smoky vanillic sweetness of benzoin assist the joyful lift-off.

Escape, silence, splendor, serenity. Sometimes, it’s the simple pleasures of nature that are the most addictive. Let Breathe expand your horizons with aromatic airs of lavender and bergamot. A breath of fresh air to replenish your spirit.
