BIBBI Launches New Fragrance: Vanilla Factory

/

BIBBI Launches New Fragrance: Vanilla Factory BIBBI introduces Vanilla Factory, a fragrance that pulls vanilla from its familiar sweetness and into something darker, warmer and more modern. Rather than comfort, this version of vanilla feels grown-up and unexpected. Where many vanillas lean sugary, Vanilla Factory leans feral warmth. It opens with bergamot, pink pepper and nutmeg, offering a clean warmth and subtle edge. At its center, black tea and saffron deepened the composition, softened by a soft peony note that adds restraint rather than romance. The base unfolds with patchouli, papyrus and black amber, settling into a roasted, resinous vanilla that remains smooth and dry, never sickening. “Vanilla has always been nostalgic for me” says Stina “BIBBI” Seger, founder of BIBBI. “With this fragrance, I wanted to explore its more mature side, something with depth and a bit of a misery. I’m not a child anymore. Like every fragrance from BIBBI, it needed to surprise, to feel a little mystical. This is vanilla through our lens: seductive, deliciously dark, and alive with tension.” Vanilla Factory is available at COW perfumery and bibbi-parfum.com in 2ml, 30ml and 100ml formats. image courtesy BIBBI
