Whānui by INVERSO PROFUMI is a Leather fragrance for women and men. Whānui was launched during the 2020's. Top notes are Geranium, Mint, Balsamic Notes and Cardamom; middle notes are White Musk and Woody Notes; base notes are Madagascar Vanilla and Leather. If WHĀNUI were a color, it would be Tiffany Blue — fresh, refined, and distinctive.In Māori, “WHĀNUI” means something all-encompassing and balanced, perfectly reflecting the nature of this fragrance. This is the vanilla fragrance for those who typically shy away from vanilla. WHĀNUI opens with cool, fluid minty notes, offering a dry, creamy vanilla that avoids sticky-sugary sweetness. Instead, it emphasizes balsamic undertones, creating a subtle composition that stays close to the skin.
