BDK Parfums Vanille Leather EDP

Description

A powdery floral-leather from one of perfumery's most celebrated noses. Composed by Dominique Ropion and launched in 2023, Vanille Leather opens on soft violet before a creamy tuberose-jasmine heart settles into warm vanilla and leather. Sensual rather than tough, a leather built for femininity as much as edge.
