Vanilla

Kind and reassuring, these individuals are associated with gentleness and empathy. They are friendly, reliable and welcoming. They love romantic and intimate moments.

There is no perfumery brand worthy of the name that has not dedicated at least one fragrance to this wonderful note. Depending on which olfactory facet one wants to highlight, whether it is the sweeter notes of vanillin, or the more floral, woody, sensual, gourmand ones; the perfumes dedicated to vanilla are so diverse and articulate, that it seems impossible that they are inspired by a single raw material. When we talk about Vanilla fragrances, most people expect to smell gourmand notes that remind us of our grandmothers’ goodies, and take us back to our carefree childhood.

In reality, the sweet characteristic that I am referring to is only one of the facets present in vanilla, and it is ensured by the presence of one of its chemical components, vanillin, first discovered in 1874 by German chemist Willhelm Haarmann.
