Vanilla Perfumes: creamy trails of bourbon vanilla and tonka

What is a vanilla perfume?

The vanilla family is a key sub-family of orientals. It brings together perfumes whose dominant accord is built around Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Tahiti vanilla (more floral), tonka bean, benzoin (vanillic ambery resin), heliotrope. A family that ranges from creamy gourmand to smoky oriental, depending on the materials with which the central vanilla is associated. Cult creations include Un Bois Vanille (Serge Lutens, 2003) and Vanille de Tahiti (Perris Monte Carlo).

When to wear it, and for whom?
