A smiling vanilla that draws its character from contrasts: the bright twang of apple rubbing up against the mellow plushness of tolu balsam, with its beautiful blur of honey and balsamic wood.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
There is a playful intimacy to this apple-and-vanilla sweetness: think of a late afternoon spent sharing something freshly baked, with conversation stretching well beyond the last bite. Its tangy fruit keeps the mood lively, while the balsamic warmth gives it a more sensual undertone.
How to wear
The plush vanilla and balsamic base suggest a natural fit for mild to cool weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin to keep the sweetness measured; in warmer conditions, apply more lightly so the apple’s brightness is not overshadowed by the richer gourmand character.
Who it’s for
For lovers of sweet gourmands who want fruit with a little tang rather than sweetness alone. It will appeal especially to those drawn to rounded vanilla, honeyed balsamic textures and a woody foundation beneath a playful apple accord.

The nose
Brahim Mohamed is the self-taught, independent perfumer behind MABRA. His approach draws on personal experiences and desires rather than an externally imposed creative brief, with an emphasis on distinctive compositions and artisanal production. In Vanille d’Amour, his gourmand palette brings vanilla together with apple and a rounded balsamic base.
Mabra’s story
MABRA is an independent perfume house built around Brahim Mohamed’s personal authorship. Its fragrances are made in small series, then assembled, bottled and packaged by hand in his French workshop. Quality materials, natural ingredients and individuality underpin the house’s artisanal approach.
Vanille d'Amour’s concept
Vanille d’Amour was conceived around vanilla and an apple accord coated in cooked sugar. That confectionery idea gives the fragrance its playful core, while a balsamic base adds a softer, woody counterweight to the fruit’s brightness.
Extra info
The house gives Vanille d’Amour the subtitle “The Sweety” and includes it in the Collection Essentielle. Its official note pyramid places vanilla at the top and apple in the heart, an unusual arrangement for a fruit-led gourmand.
