Vanille Patchouli

Nevertheless, the family of vanilla orientals is today considered the figurehead of oriental notes. Their success has remained unchanged for decades and it is clearly in this register that the perfume Vanille Patchouli by the Molinard house belongs.

The illustrious expertise of the Molinard house

To better grasp the prestige of Molinard's Vanille Patchouli, nothing compares to revisiting the prestigious history of this renowned house. Indeed, Molinard has shone a light on the image of French perfumery since its creation, in 1849. Located in Grasse, world capital of perfumery since the 16th century, Molinard has seen five generations of perfumers succeed one another, passing down a genuine passion for their craft. Molinard's journey seems to defy time and trends. Molinard has managed to evolve its compositions over the decades without ever forgetting its founding values of rigor and quality. Today, Molinard is masterfully led by Celia Lerouge-Bénard, the first woman to hold the position of head of Molinard. She is above all a devoted nature enthusiast, a true creator at heart. The Vanille Patchouli juice embodies all of this. It is at once bold and even somewhat exuberant, while stemming from a rare and ancestral expertise. It seems to reach us directly from another era, yet fits perfectly into our current times.

The sustained yet delicate flavor of Vanille Patchouli

The least one can say is that Molinard's Vanille Patchouli does not go unnoticed! It is at once gourmand, intense, spicy and impetuous. Its boldness is unmatched and its gourmand character is also ever-present. In fact, this shows from the very opening. Molinard's Vanille Patchouli begins with a Bourbon vanilla flavor from Réunion Island paired with a caramel accord. Nevertheless, so that this does not tip into an overload of sweetness, orange steps in here to reinforce the sensation of freshness in this blend. Then, incandescent spices come to enhance its heart. Vanille Patchouli is then warmed with clove and chili pepper. This fiery temperament is elegantly structured with patchouli. Finally, sandalwood wraps around the whole, while musk lends it more animalic character. The result is a carnal, impertinent, seductive and highly sensual perfume.
