Why We Carry This

The tuberose heart in Vanille Exclusive is what separates it from a generic vanilla fragrance. Indian tuberose has a richness and slight creaminess that amplifies the Madagascar vanilla base, and the osmanthus-peach opening gives the composition a brightness that the sweet base needs as a counterweight. Mancera's most considered vanilla construction.

Vanille Exclusive opens with osmanthus and white peach alongside whipped cream and brown sugar, an opening that is sweet and fruity without being heavy. The composition's distinguishing character is in the heart: Indian tuberose alongside violet and Egyptian jasmine, a floral trio that gives the sweet opening a genuine depth and complexity. Madagascar vanilla in the base is the anchor that the name promises, white musk and amber holding the whole composition in a warm, long-lasting drydown that the tuberose heart earns.
