‘Beneath the bright moon, an island cradles a hidden cove, revealed only with the falling tide. Jagged black rocks rise from crystal-clear waters, where iridescent fish glimmer like jewels. A solitary white baobab stands tall, its branches intertwined with the stars. The thick salty air, rich with vanilla, wraps the island in a dream. This fragrance is a tribute to the beauty of Madagascan Vanilla—one of the world’s most exquisite ingredients. It opens with a breath of Fleur de Sel, evoking salt-kissed skin. A soft heat follows, as Cinnamon, Pink Pepper (Mauritius), and Nutmeg wrap the senses in warmth. Ylang-Ylang (Comoros) lends a creamy, luminous floral note. As the scent deepens, a darker story unfolds: resinous Myrrh (Somalia) and Olibanum (Somalia) melt into Dark Amber.’ – Reserve En Afrique 1934
