This is vanilla after dark.
Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille EDP was launched in 2003 and created by Christopher Sheldrake. It’s a fragrance for those who love vanilla but want more than just sugar and fluff.
Here you’ll find coconut milk. Beeswax. Licorice. Almond. Warm wood.
And yes, it sounds like a dessert that’s read French poetry.
Un Bois Vanille is sweet, but with backbone. It starts creamy, almost soft like warm coconut milk on the skin. Then the licorice steps in and raises an eyebrow. Almond and benzoin make the scent smooth, rounded, and a little sticky in a lovely way.
The base settles into gaiac wood, tonka bean, and sandalwood. It becomes warm, dry, and deep. Like a knitted sweater in a hotel bar.
You get the idea.
Top notes: coconut milk, black vanilla absolute, beeswax
Heart notes: caramelized benzoin, licorice, almond paste
Base notes: gaiac wood, tonka bean, sandalwood
This is vanilla with wood, warmth, and a little dark edge. It feels gourmand, but behaves more maturely than a straightforward pastry scent.
Wear Un Bois Vanille in autumn. In winter. On cool spring evenings.
It thrives best when the air is crisp and your clothes are soft. It’s perfect for dinner, dates, cafés, light workdays, and evenings when you want to make an entrance without a megaphone.
For a late dinner with someone you might want to reply to more slowly? Absolutely.
Un Bois Vanille has good longevity. Expect about 6–8 hours on skin, often longer on clothes.
The projection is noticeable at first and then softens. The sillage is moderate to close. It creates more of a warm scent bubble around you than a full theatrical stage in three acts.
Two sprays go a long way. Three in the evening have mischievous intentions.
Un Bois Vanille is unisex. It suits women, men, and anyone who thinks vanilla should have some depth.
It leans slightly feminine through coconut, beeswax, and sweet vanilla. At the same time, licorice, sandalwood, and gaiac wood make the scent more straightforward, dry, and gender-neutral.
It’s for those who want to smell warm, soft, and smart. A little mysterious, too. Like someone who read the book before the series.
