This collaboration between Skins and BIBBI is inspired by a shared passion for fragrance and an evolving partnership that began long before BIBBI’s official launch. While BIBBI’s collection is more meditative, this venture sought to create the ultimate fusion of scents, leading to the creation of two perfumes rather than one.

The decision to craft both a Santal and a Vanilla fragrance emerged from a desire to capture the essence of each brand. The Santal embodies Skins, while the Vanil- la represents BIBBI, with each fragrance sharing notes from the other, creating a harmonious balance.

The inspiration behind xSantal stems from a previous successful collaboration with another brand in a similar fragrance direction. The aim was to create the perfect, long-lasting Santal fragrance – a personal obsession of the Skins founder Philip Hillege, for over 30 years. Together Stina, the founder of BIBBI and the perfumer Jerome Epinette, the quest was fulfilled, resulting in a warm, multi-layered scent that evolves uniquely on different people, marking the ultimate Santal experience.

The xVanilla aimed to create a vanilla scent that reflects the depth and complexity of BIBBI, while harmonizing with the vision Skins has cultivated over the years.
It is sweet and seductive, yet mysterious, with the depth of galbanum and the sensu- ality of patchouli. It’s a complex scent that evolves throughout the day, offering an empowering journey of sweetness and intrigue.

Both xVanilla and xSantal can be layered beautifully, blending the woodiness and spice of xSantal with the green sweetness of xVanilla for a perfect harmony.
Yet, each scent stands strong on its own, allowing wearers to choose their path based on their mood and where they wish to go that day.
