fragrance note

Intense vanilla

1 perfumes

Intense vanilla offers a decadent, syrupy profile that transcends simple sweetness, leaning into the dark, resinous qualities of cured pods. Belonging to the gourmand family, this note provides a creamy, balsamic depth that anchors complex compositions. It pairs naturally with toasted tonka bean and praline to create a rich, praline-forward base that feels both opulent and comforting. In the Gulf, this intense iteration is a staple for evening wear, particularly during the cooler winter months when its heavy, lingering sillage cuts through the air with sophistication. Arab houses often utilize this note to soften the sharp, medicinal edges of high-quality oud, creating a balanced, velvety transition that makes the fragrance feel more approachable and luxurious for formal majlis gatherings.
