Vanilla in perfumery is often predictable. It’s dessert. It’s nostalgia. It’s comfort on skin. Most of the time, it leans creamy, sweet, warm; the kind of scent that wraps around you like a cashmere scarf. But Vanille Carbone by Atelier Materi steps away from that familiar path. It’s still vanilla, but filtered through charcoal, fire, leather, and shadow. It doesn’t hug you. It stops you in your tracks.

Some fragrances arrive like a sunbeam through an open window—unexpected, warm, and quietly transformative. Néroli Hasbaya is one of them.
