Perfumer’s Inspiration:
“It is an unforgettable beverage that I sought to recreate in this vanilla balm. When I was spending long periods in Madagascar with my long-time collaborator Lucien Acquarone, the very friendly and cheerful daughter of one of our Madagascan partners once offered me a drink she had concocted herself using natural ingredients from the country, including an impressive bunch of vanilla pods that had been left to ripen in the sun for a long time. The mixture was left to macerate for several weeks in very old rum, eventually producing a unique elixir of profound richness. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water even today!”

Made in France

A delicious creation, and one that demands a moment of pause: Madagascar Le Baume Vanille celebrates the gourmand side of vanilla, retaining the composure of serious perfumery. A single whiff contains an entire universe of impressions, and is something to be savoured like the fine treat it is. Yellow flowers, red berries, and tawny dried fruit skins; nutty tones leading into smoke, spice, and leather. The simple image of vanilla soaking in old rum, drawing aroma and flavour from these wrinkly pods, becomes a balm as much as it does a potion. A little bit of fire, tobacco smoke, a definite degree of spicy booziness - but always brilliantly bright and friendly.
