This extrait is named for the archipelagic country in the South Pacific Ocean, source of the sandalwood in the base. Vanuatu is a lively, confident blend of spices (black pepper, cardamom, cumin) dappled across characterful woody materials (sandalwood, patchouli, cedar and papyrus). Putting meat on the bones is fig milk, with violet leaves adding sharp sparkle. A fragrance for unexpected adventures.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone who moves quickly but never looks rushed: crisp, alert and self-possessed, with a green-spicy edge that reads as intelligent rather than loud. It suits close conversation and spaces where its woody trail can unfold without crowding the room.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where the spices stay bright and the woods remain smooth. Apply lightly at first; a few sprays are enough, as the scent has a firm presence and a clean, lingering trail. On skin it turns creamier and softer over time, while in air the peppery-green opening stays more pronounced.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like woody-spicy fragrances with a clean, modern finish rather than heavy sweetness. It will appeal to those drawn to green facets, dry woods, creamy sandalwood and compositions that feel polished, distinctive and slightly unconventional.
Release year
2021
The nose
Amélie Bourgeois, Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Camille Chemardin. This trio, working under the Flair umbrella, is known for lucid, modern compositions that balance texture with clarity: natural-looking materials, clean structure and a knack for making unusual accords feel wearable. In Vanuatu, they turn spicy green facets and fig milk into a polished woody trail, with sandalwood given a creamy, almost tactile presence.
Sora Dora’s story
Sora Dora presents itself as a family-rooted house that blends artisanal craft with contemporary elegance. Its fragrances often pair classical structure with distinctive materials and a modern unisex outlook, aiming for perfumes that feel authentic, refined and characterful rather than decorative.
Vanuatu’s concept
Named after the South Pacific archipelago, Vanuatu was conceived around the sandalwood associated with the island nation and framed with a creamy fig-milk accord. The result is a launch fragrance for the house that contrasts green spice and papery woods with a smoother, more sensual core.
Extra info
Vanuatu is named for the South Pacific country linked to the sandalwood in its base. It was introduced as part of Sora Dora’s early collection and is notable for pairing fig milk with violet leaf, pepper and papyrus in a single woody-spicy structure.
