Island Vanilla Dunes
Between an opening where vanilla is pointed up with cinnamon, cardamom and bergamot, and a base of praline and musk with hints of toasted sugar, Island Vanilla Dunes plays on the gap between fresh spice and roasted sweetness. An Extrait de Parfum from the house of Khadlaj, the composition moves through a heart of orange blossom, guaiac wood and coconut.

Composition
A vanilla and spicy top
Vanilla opens the composition in a sweet, warm and spicy register. Cinnamon lends its bark-like scent with woody accents. Cardamom adds a spice shot through with freshness. Bergamot, a citrus whose essence is drawn from the peel, gives a sweet, fresh fruit.
A floral and milky heart
Orange blossom, drawn from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, appears here waxy, sweet and powdery. Guaiac wood, a tropical American tree from which an essence is distilled, brings a smoky, balsamic note. Coconut completes the tier with a milky gourmand quality carrying sun-kissed overtones.
A base of praline and musk
Praline, a confection of almonds or hazelnuts coated in cooked sugar, gives the base its accents of toasted sugar, almond and hazelnut. Musk, whose modern versions are synthetic compounds, accompanies it with a woody warmth touched by an animalic facet.
An oriental family
Belonging to the oriental family, the composition brings together materials that this family readily pairs: warm vanilla, cinnamon and cardamom for the spices, balsamic guaiac wood and musk. Praline and coconut add a gourmand inflection, carried by their sweet, milky notes.
