Where it comes from
From the cured pods of the Vanilla planifolia orchid, mostly grown in Madagascar. Extracted as absolute, CO₂ extract or tincture.
How perfumers use it
One of the most loved base notes, in ambers, gourmands and florals.
Did you know? Outside Mexico each flower must be pollinated by hand, a technique discovered in 1841 by Edmond Albius, a 12-year-old enslaved boy on Réunion.
For education only. Raw materials should be diluted for smelling and never applied neat to skin. Always follow the supplier’s safety data sheet and the current IFRA Standards.
