Composition of the fragrance
The opening notes entice you with dry fruit, Cuban tobacco and warm, spicy notes of clove. They’re later surpassed by vanilla which perfectly blends with cocoa and warm notes of tonka bean, conjuring up an authentic feel of a Havanese club. The base of the composition floats in on a wave of warm honey while pure notes of benzoin and labdanum give the fragrance more depth.
Inspiration for the fragrance: Las Impuras
NOVELLISTA Vanilla Club was inspired by the novel Las Impuras which takes place at the start of the 20th century in the streets of Havana. The book guides you through the colourful streets with their picturesque sights, as well as places of ill repute.
Men and women, day and night, in situations when the limits of morality start to blur – it all comes together in the fragrance which challenges traditional gender roles and inspires diversity of existence.
