Senna

Senna is a creamy vanilla scent from the Canadian house Eau De Moe, released in 2024. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, and about three quarters also find it musky.

Vanilla is the whole point here, layered as Bourbon vanilla and vanilla absolute, which together give a rich, slightly boozy, slightly woody sweetness rather than a thin sugary one. Coconut and lactones add a milky, soft texture, making it feel like a dessert that has been left to cool rather than something sharp. Heliotrope brings a powdery, almond-like note, and palo santo adds a dry, resinous wood that gives the sweetness a quiet backbone. White musk and musk settle it onto the skin.

Senna is worn by anyone. Its warmth and softness suit autumn and winter and cosy evenings, and it will please someone who wants a comforting vanilla without harsh sugar. It is an intimate scent rather than a loud one.
