Vanilla CO₂ (Madagascar)
Vanilla CO₂ from Madagascar is a rich and creamy fragrance note with a warm, sweet scent profile that carries subtle woody and slightly smoky undertones. Its aroma is deep, indulgent, and comforting, adding a luxurious and gourmand quality to perfumes. Madagascan vanilla CO₂ imparts a smooth, velvety character and is often used as a base note to create warmth and sweetness in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with floral, spicy, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, inviting, and full of depth.
History & Production: Madagascar is known for producing some of the world’s finest vanilla from the Vanilla planifolia orchid. Vanilla CO₂ extract is created through supercritical CO₂ extraction, a method that preserves the pure and complex aroma of the vanilla bean without the use of heat or solvents. This process captures the true essence of vanilla, which is highly prized in perfumery for its ability to add a rich, sweet depth that enhances the warmth and opulence of fragrances, evoking a sense of comfort and indulgence.
