The 7 Virtues Amber Vanilla by Olya Bar
We often find ourselves in a place where the din of external expectations often drowns out our inner voices, so it is a true gift when one finds solace in discovering a fragrance that resonates with the core of our being and a journey back to self. With this philosophy, Barb Stegemann, the visionary behind The 7 Virtues, introduced the brand’s new Amber Vanilla, a manifesto of self-love, a testament to the beauty of being.

The concept of Amber Vanilla is a clean second-skin perfume designed not to overshadow but to amplify one’s natural scent. It’s an embodiment of aromatherapy merged with skin musks. This niche has elegantly carved its place within the perfume world by now because it resonates so well with a universal cry for comfort we often seek from our products. It feels more than an addition to one’s daily routine but perhaps more of a staple, a necessity for those who understand the profundity of scent and self-awareness.
At the heart of Amber Vanilla lies the beautiful Iso E Super. Sure, we’ve seen it in many scents before, yet it always delivers what it promises to do: a molecule that whispers secrets of comfort and reassurance to the soul. This is meticulously balanced with a gourmand note of vanilla, creating a warm, enveloping aura. The innovative blend includes upcycled sweet santal, amber, and a sheer floral pink carnation, crafting a long-lasting crescendo that celebrates the body’s delicate lines and the softness of the skin. Each note is a verse that speaks to comfort, gratitude, and the fortification of self-love. It invites wearers to indulge in tenderness and compassion, encouraging a ritual of intention-setting with every spritz.

Self-love, the inspiration behind Amber Vanilla, goes beyond a concept—it’s a practice. It means recognizing and celebrating self-worth and treating yourself with kindness and understanding. In today’s tumultuous world, fostering self-love and compassion is essential for resilience. This fragrance reminds us of our value, a protective aura that helps us navigate life’s challenges with grace and optimism.
The 7 Virtues Amber Vanilla doesn’t vie for attention; it earns it effortlessly. It doesn’t impose but invites. Its strength lies in its subtlety—a soft-spoken confidence that illuminates the wearer’s presence. It’s a scent that doesn’t just smell good; it feels good. Every drop has a story of empowerment, a narrative that champions the individual’s journey towards self-acceptance and love. A call to rediscover the love within. This perfume is an invitation to wrap oneself in the warmth of self-acceptance, to let its soft glow guide you towards a path of resilience and peace.
A tool for emotional well-being and self-expression, it’s a fragrance that softly speaks, casting a luminous glow on all facets of the self and like the rays of a sunset, softly basking our skin in the amber rays of the sun dipping into the horizon. In every bottle, a promise: the scent of self-love, waiting to be discovered.
