‘A balm for the heart, distilling the vegetal treasures of Madagascar. A balm to drink, a fabulous beverage reinvented as a generous sillage. A vanilla balm, the opulent flesh of a pod macerated at length in rum, enriched with the spices of the Grande Ile. MADAGASCAR LE BAUME VANILLE: Premiering at the @perfumeweek from July 3 to 5, and available through our partners in September (2025) (…) A balm to drink, the olfactory imprint of the scent of blonde vanilla forever engraved in the perfumer’s memory. That of a fabulous beverage composed by a young Madagascan woman, reinvented here as a generous sillage. A vanilla balm, the opulent flesh of a plump, fatty pod, split to release its fragrance black seeds, expressed in Madagascar through three natural exracts. Tincture, Co² extract and vanilla absolute run through the composition. From top to base notes, these rich materials unfold balmy, animalic aromas that evoke the richness of the pod, enhanced by tones of wood, leather, hay and tobacco. To remain faithful to the original recipe of vanilla pods infused in aged rum, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has drawn on the sumptuous palette of the island of Madagascar. Peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon sticks combine with the almost animal depth of cocoa beans. Freshly grated coconut flesh, a flash of milky whiteness in this amber elixir, enhances its creamy texture. Particularly rich in balms, oils, and resins, the formula of Madagascar requires a level of craftsmanship that has all but disappeared today. Another rare luxury is the long maceration process that allows each ingredient to express itself to the fullest…’ – Parfum D’Empire
