Three faces of vanilla

Three faces of vanilla

Almost every second perfume in our collection has vanilla in it. There is a good chance you are wearing it today without knowing.

Vanilla pods and an orchid flower Vanilla pods and an orchid flower

Four things people do not know about vanilla

Vanilla is an orchid

The only orchid in the world with an edible fruit. The flower opens for less than a day, and if nobody pollinates it, that is the end of the story.

Every flower is pollinated by hand

Outside Mexico vanilla has no natural pollinator, so people do it by hand, flower by flower, on the right morning.

The second most expensive spice

Only saffron costs more. From flower to a pod you can actually use takes about a year of drying and care.

The scent your brain learns first

Vanillin has been found in human breast milk. That is why vanilla reads to most people not as "sweet" but as "I am safe".

Sweet vanilla

It does not hide. Next to caramel, chocolate and almond it smells like something you would eat.

Why some adore it and others swear they cannot stand it

People who say they dislike vanilla mean the one from the bakery: thick and sugary. That one exists, but it is rare.

Vanilla sits in the base far more often than on top. There it does not smell like dessert, it calms the spices, stretches the wood and gives the scent its warmth. That is how someone wears a perfume for years without knowing vanilla is holding it together.

Not in a vanilla mood after all? Have a look at the whole collection.
