100ml Eau de Parfum
Vanilla is a universal ingredient, the fruit of the wild orchid. We wanted to return to this exotic fruit, to this black pod that is happily opened to release its sensual sweetness. By moving away from the gourmet and very luscious vanilla, we restore its ancestral depth. Its scent is unctuous and powerful, sensual but not tacky. In Une Vanille, black Madagascar vanilla is accompanied by tonka bean with almond facets. A final touch that transmutes the original scent of this fruit whose aroma plays alternately between sweetness and power, evidence and mystery, so natural and supernatural at the same time.
Perfumer: Anne-Sophie Behaghel
A cornerstone of perfumery, vanilla moves between sweet, creamy, woody and spicy notes, with facets of leather, caramel and tobacco. Our vanilla absolute comes from Madagascar’s Sava region, the world’s centre of vanilla harvesting, where generations of expertise shape its cultivation.
Early in the morning, from October to December, the women known as “marieuses” identify vanilla flowers ready for pollination and gently bring the pistil and stamen into contact. After harvesting, the vanilla is processed and then extracted in workshops in Grasse. Due to its rarity and high demand, its price can approach $600 per kilo.
Personalize your perfume with layering
To create a unique fragrance that matches your mood, or your outfit, you can combine OBVIOUS fragrances with each other. For a successful signature, we recommend using two fragrances.
Here are our fragrance suggestions for combinations with Une Vanille.
- Une Vanille + Un Musc = A sweeter vanilla, gourmand with white chocolate and bitter almond facets
- Une Vanille + Un Bois = The wood refreshes the vanilla, de-sugarizes it, makes it almost bergamot
- Une Vanille + Un Patchouli = Gourmand perfume where the vanilla reinforces the tonka bean The eather smoky facet of vanilla is enhanced
