Real talk
If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
Vanuatu is built around fig milk, a lactonic, almost edible choice that isn't afraid of being a little strange. That's the hook. The sandalwood and violet leaf keep it grounded.Vanuatu
