Behind the Bestseller: Outremer Vanille

Behind the Bestseller: Outremer Vanille

At Smallflower, our product catalog is ever-expanding, and we’re on a constant quest for what’s brand-new and exciting in the world of wellness, beauty, and fragrance. We have more than 10,000 products in our catalog, but there is one consistent best seller. The tried-and-true scent that people always come back to is Outremer’s Vanille Eau de Toilette. 

About Outremer

Outremer Fragrance expertly captures the glamour of early 20th century Paris, with each bottle expertly decorated in a classic European Art-Deco design. Outremer, formerly called L’Aromarine, has been concocting fragrances for over 30 years high up in the hills of Nice, France, a town known for its production of fine fragrance. This retro production style has made Outremer a favorite for those looking to prioritize a sense of nostalgia and simplicity with their scent choices.   

Outremer develops their perfumes in small batches, similar to high-end fragrance houses, but are dedicated to keeping their scents at affordable prices. Therefore, you get the same high-quality fragrance as a luxury fragrance house, without the higher price point. 

All About Vanille 

We carry many scents from Outremer, however none are as sought-after as Vanille. Delicate, creamy, and comforting, this vanilla smells like it’s straight from your mother’s kitchen. Like all Outremer perfumes, it’s a fragrance with a straightforward scent profile: what you’re promised is what you get. 

This single-note philosophy is a trademark of Outremer. It’s simplistic, but not dumbed down. In addition to the topnote of straight-from-the-bottle vanilla extract, there’s a caramelized sweetness to the scent that wafts ever-so gently when put in contact with the skin. Vanille is the perfect scent for gourmand lovers hoping to invoke a sense of authenticity, without the cloying quality of other budget-friendly vanilla fragrances. 

Why We Love It

Why do we (and our customers) love it so much? First and foremost: the inexpensive price tag. A 50ml spray sits comfortably at $22, making it the perfect find for beginner fragrance collectors. Despite the lower price point, this scent is still potent, long-lasting, and feels luxurious on the skin. 

Additionally, with Outremer’s vast collection of scents, they are perfect for layering. Vanille is perfect on its own, but for a touch of depth, combine Vanille with Outremer’s Cola, Violette, or Peche

En Finalite… 

Outremer Vanille will always be one of our staples. Whether you’re a fragrance newcomer or aficionado, Outremer Vanille makes a wonderful addition to any collection.
