Novae Vanilla EDP 100ml

Novae Vanilla, a vanilla that shines with a new brilliance, representing both the material of origins of Atelier Des Ors and a quest in perpetual renewal. Novae Vanilla is a harmony between darkness and light, vanilla and mimosa, matter and immatter. It is the relationship to the divine, a hymn to life, to beauty, to creation. “Novae Vanilla explores the contrast between light and dark, between opacity and brightness, silence and vibration, where each note finds its place in a harmony similar to that of the golden ratio.” – Perfumer, Marie Salamagne An unusual vanilla with a mineral and stellar freshness, enveloped by a voluptuous vanilla pod. The golden glow of mimosa, known as golden flower, gives it a sunny and luminous sweetness. And a trio of rare vanillas: the elegant and airy NaturePrint® blue vanilla, the carnal intensity of Bourbon vanilla, and the woody and velvety facets of Madagascar vanilla.

It opens with a mineralic sparkle which beckons in the sweet, spicy vanilla, fluffed out by powdery mimosa. As it wears, Novae Vanilla deepens, the bourbon vanilla adding a boozy intensity which is amplified by balsamic amber woods and musk. The result is a true vanilla scent that smells like freshly harvested vanilla caviar straight from the bean. With fabulous lasting power, Novae Vanilla leaves a tantalising trail behind the wearer.  LORE LOVESNovae Vanilla is a scent for true vanilla heads, it’s a photorealistic fragrance that shows off all the many facets of the iconic raw ingredient. In the beginning, it’s reminiscent of vanilla bean paste; sweet and honeyed. As it wears it becomes more fluffy and powdery, before drying down to a sexy, warm, musky vanilla. It’s sweet without being cloying or syrupy – in short, the perfect vanilla!  ABOUT THE BRANDAtelier Des Ors (meaning “The Workshop of Gold” in French) was founded in 2015 by Jean-Philippe Clermont. Throughout his career in fashion and luxury goods distribution, Jean-Philippe has always been an admirer and patron of the arts in all of her forms. Particularly interested in the fusion of disciplines, he fully embraces the spirit of Gesamtkunstwerk, that total work of art in which music, architecture, painting and staging respond to and enrich each other. While Jean-Philippe’s sources of inspiration are manifold and rooted in a hybrid, eclectic background and culture, they all converge on a quest for beauty and elegance as an art of living.The use of gold, both as a source of inspiration and in the actual juice of the fragrances (each of the Atelier Des Ors scents has 24 carat gold flakes floating in them like perfumed stardust!) is a very intentional creative one that goes beyond luxury for luxury’s sake. For Jean-Phillipe, the union of perfume and gold was an obvious one: perfume melts into the skin like a sensual veil, and gold adorns the skin as jewellery. The process of goldsmithing and perfumery are both a kind of alchemy: starting with a rare, sublime and fascinating material, and by using exceptional and meticulous know-how, transforming it into a precious new substance.Based in Grasse, France (the perfume capital of the world), to Atelier Des Ors, upholding French savoir-faire and commitment to artistry is paramount. They have a “slow” approach to perfumery, a philosophy that infuses each creation with the patience, expertise and meticulous craftsmanship essential to excellence. Their fragrances invite you to embrace the beauty of this state of mind, where time and quality are valued like gold, respected for their preciousness and rarity.
