Nyla Vani-Elle

Nyla Vani-Elle is a vanilla gourmand from Arabiyat Prestige, released in 2024 and composed by Élodie Bernard. Everyone who describes it uses the word gourmand; a quarter or so also mention musk, flowers or amber, which tells you the vanilla is the point and the rest is trim.

Vanilla runs through the whole composition, rich and slightly smoky rather than thin and sugary. Caramel adds a buttery, cooked-sugar layer on top, and tonka bean deepens it with an almond-and-hay warmth. Jasmine is the one floral touch, giving a faintly heady, creamy lift so the scent does not read purely as dessert. Musk and amber form the base, the musk soft and skin-like, the amber warm and resinous, carrying the sweetness for a long, cosy finish.

This is a comfort scent for cold weather and evenings, worn by anyone who loves vanilla and wants it full, warm and unapologetically sweet, and it will feel most at home in relaxed, close settings rather than formal ones.
