By the editors · 2 min readMadagascar vanilla opens rich and slightly boozy, with the kind of dark depth that distinguishes a true bean from a syrup accord. The effect is immediate and unambiguous.
Vanilla and caramel in the heart double down on the dessert direction—the caramel adds a burnt-sugar edge that keeps things from going purely creamy. Together they read like custard with a torched top.
Tonka bean in the base brings a coumarin-warmth, hay-like and almondy, that extends the vanilla without diluting it. Overall this is a focused gourmand—linear, sweet, comfortable, with little ambition beyond the central idea. Cool-weather wear suits it, projection close to skin once the initial sugar settles. Cosy rather than seductive.
