Vanilla Canyon

The house names three tiers: velvet plum and tonka bean in the top, jasmine petals and wild honey in the heart, Madagascar vanilla, patchouli and oakwood in the base.

From plum to vanilla

Velvet plum opens the fragrance with a juicy sweetness that tonka bean rounds out. At the center, jasmine petals are wrapped in wild honey, for a floral, golden heart.

The base brings together Madagascar vanilla, patchouli and oakwood: a warm, woody foundation that gives the fragrance its depth. The house places Vanilla Canyon among the warm, spicy fragrances, of the warm, sweet gourmand type.

What the label declares

Alcohol denat. and fragrance open the list, before vanillin, water and tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, an ambery wood. Ethylhexyl salicylate, a UV filter, comes before coumarin and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, a second UV filter.

Patchouli oil, which gives the base its earthy note, comes before rose ketones and beta-caryophyllene, which close the list.
