Description
Vanilla has a long history… Revered by the Totonac, an Amerindian people, as a sign of invincible love, its name comes from a deformation of the Latin vagina (we don’t need to translate that) by means of vaina as the conquistadors who brought it back to Europe thought it resembled the “sheath” of a sword… which has nothing to do, of course, with the supposed aphrodisiac virtues vanilla was said to have. If its smell is more reminiscent of beige and custard than of 17th century romps, it is because the vanilla we know in aromas and perfumes is in fact vanillin, its main odorant compound. For our Vanille, we opted for a Bourbon vanilla absolute, with woody and smoky undertones more faithful to the smell of the “sheath”.

About Olibanum
Olibanum has cultivated its inception from the ancient ‘spice’ of frankincense, which has been revered for centuries as a combination of mystery and archetype of spirituality.

With a hint of mellow woodiness alongside resinous notes, Olibanum goes over and beyond to create a perfume that is simple yet elegant.
