Vanilla (Tahiti)

Vanilla from Tahiti is renowned for its rich, creamy, and exotic scent, characterized by a sweet, floral aroma with subtle fruity and spicy undertones. Compared to other varieties, Tahitian vanilla has a more complex and lush profile, adding depth, warmth, and a touch of tropical luxury to fragrances. It is commonly used as a base note, imparting a long-lasting, soft, and comforting sweetness that enhances the overall richness and elegance of perfumes. Tahitian vanilla pairs beautifully with florals, woods, and spices.

History & Production: Tahitian vanilla is derived from the Vanilla tahitensis orchid, which is native to French Polynesia. Unlike other vanilla-producing regions, Tahiti’s unique climate and cultivation methods contribute to the distinctive aroma of this vanilla. The vanilla pods are harvested when fully mature and then undergo a meticulous curing process to develop their characteristic sweet and floral fragrance. Tahitian vanilla is highly prized in both culinary and perfumery applications, known for its luxurious scent that adds a sophisticated, exotic touch to high-end fragrance creations.
