Universal Vanilla
The Fragrance
A luminous gourmand fragrance where softness meets character.
The fragrance opens with an enveloping CO₂ rum extract, which immediately imparts warmth and an irresistible, golden character. This is quickly contrasted by the freshness of Mate Absolute and Lavender: aromatic, slightly green notes that lend luminosity to the composition.
Sambac Jasmine Absolute adds a delicate, natural sensuality.
It is in the base notes that the fragrance’s gourmand spirit is fully revealed: Bourbon Vanilla Absolute and Peru Balsam Absolute create a velvety, refined warmth. Finally, Ambrox and hints of dry woods leave a clean, contemporary, sophisticated, and structured trail on the skin—one that is never heavy.

Distinctive note: Bourbon Vanilla Absolute
Fragrance: Bourbon vanilla absolute is one of the most iconic raw materials in perfumery. Its olfactory profile is rich, enveloping, and creamy, with sweet and warm nuances that lend depth, sensuality, and extraordinary longevity to fragrance compositions.
Origin: Bourbon vanilla comes primarily from Madagascar, which is considered the global benchmark for the quality of this precious raw material. Belonging to the orchid family, the vanilla plant grows as a tropical vine. In addition to Madagascar, it is also cultivated in Papua New Guinea, Uganda, Indonesia, and India—regions that lend it unique aromatic nuances.
Extraction: After harvesting, the pods undergo a lengthy curing and fermentation process that can last up to four months. This process allows the characteristic intense aromatic profile of Bourbon vanilla to develop. The Absolue is finally obtained by extracting the most prized aromatic compounds, preserving their richness and olfactory complexity.
