Our view
Vanille des Roches is the latest creation from the house of Goutal: a vanilla between shadow and light, like the softness of a summer afternoon on sun-warmed rocks. A trio of vanillas, creamy, ambery and delicately woody, lifted by almond, plum and spices, then softened by jasmine and benzoin. Gourmand without being sugary, warm and sensual.
When to wear it
From autumn to spring, and on summer evenings. An enveloping vanilla that feels like a warm caress.
