Vanille De Zanzibar

Vanille de Zanzibar by Boucheron

Boucheron Vanille de Zanzibar is part of the brand’s prestigious La Collection, a niche-style line that elevates traditional perfumery materials. Built around vanilla, sandalwood, cedarwood, and warm spices with floral nuances of jasmine and orange blossom, this composition takes inspiration from the legendary spice islands of Zanzibar where some of the world’s finest vanilla is grown.

Our interpretation captures the same refined warm vanilla signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

Bottle size: 50ml · Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil) · Made in EU

How It Smells

The opening is immediately warm and slightly spiced with bergamot and almond laced by gentle spice notes. There is an instant sense of exotic warmth, of travel and discovery.

The heart introduces jasmine and orange blossom that bring floral lift to the warm spiced direction. The dry-down is where Vanille de Zanzibar reveals its soul: rich Bourbon vanilla, smooth sandalwood, refined cedarwood, and warm amber create a base that lingers on skin for many hours with luxurious, slightly exotic depth. Sophisticated rather than gourmand.
