Vanilla perfumes never go out of style because of how versatile the note can be, and Vanilla Expressions is a new Dossier Originals collection that shares four vanilla-based fragrances to choose from based on different moods or occasions. Although "vanilla" is often associated with "safe," Dossier's Creative Lab intentionally developed this fragrance collection to push the boundaries and, at the same time, help fragrance lovers explore different facets of themselves.
Vanilla Tease lives up to its name as a smoky, sensual scent with notes of pink pepper, peach, rum, myrrh, saffron, tonka bean, suede and oakmoss, while Vanilla Dreamer doesn't stop at matching its titular note with spicy cardamom and smooth sandalwood—it also features a top note of carrot.
