Vanilla in perfume – warm, inviting, distinctive
What makes a vanilla perfume so special?
Vanilla is extracted from the fermented pods of the vanilla orchid and is one of the world's most precious spices. In perfumery, it's a true all-rounder: It can be interpreted as gourmandly sweet, creamy and smooth, or exotic and spicy. Depending on its composition, a vanilla perfume can evoke a warm sense of comfort, seductive sensuality, or relaxing lightness.
When is a vanilla scent best?
Vanilla perfumes are versatile – they can have a comforting, warming effect in winter, a gentle, enveloping effect in summer, and an elegant, balancing effect in the transitional seasons. Light vanilla compositions with citrus or floral notes are suitable for daytime use, while opulent versions with amber, oud, or patchouli can create an expressive aura in the evening.
