Perfume for women with the smell of vanilla. Sweet vanilla scent

Vanilla, known from ancient times to the Indians of Central America, came to Europe only in the middle of the 16th century. And only with the discovery of America, along with cocoa and other gifts of the New World, she won the hearts of gourmets around the world. The Maya, and later the Aztecs, called vanilla "tlilxochitl" ("black flower") and used it primarily to make cocoa-based drinks. In some European countries, vanilla was loved as early as the 17th century: a spice with a wonderful aroma was used as a cure for many diseases, as well as in cooking - in dishes and drinks. Not without reason, vanilla was considered a powerful aphrodisiac. Nowadays, everyone knows the smell and taste of vanilla, but mostly synthetic. Real vanilla extract is very expensive, and its use is not very profitable for mass production. The aroma of natural vanilla is provided by several chemical components, but mainly vanillin and piperonal (heliotropin). From a botanical point of view, Vanilla is a genus of perennial vines of the Orchidaceae family. Most known species genus Vanilla - Vanilla planifolia - grows in Mexico. About a hundred types of vanilla are known, but only two of them are used in wide industrial production due to their taste and aroma: Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla tahitiensis. Vanilla planifolia grows in tropical climates: in Mexico and South America, in the Caribbean, on the islands of the Indian Ocean, in Indonesia ... Vanilla grown in Mexico is considered one of the best, due to the fact that Mexico is "the historical homeland Vanilla planifolia. However, Mexico accounts for only a small percentage of total vanilla production. Vanilla Bourbon from Madagascar occupies the largest sector of the modern vanilla market. This island in the Indian Ocean produces about 1,000 tons of beans per year and is rightfully considered one of the largest producers of vanilla, along with Comoros and Reunion Island. Vanilla Bourbon is also grown in Africa and Indonesia. This type of vanilla was named after the former name of the island of Réunion - Bourbon - which, in turn, was given in honor of the royal house. In fact, from a botanical point of view, Vanilla Bourbon is the same Vanilla planifolia, but different natural and production conditions distinguish its taste and aroma from that of Mexican vanilla. Vanilla Bourbon has a bright, rich flavor. From this type of vanilla, in the process of drying beans (pods), natural vanillin is extracted in the form of crystals. The extraction of natural vanillin is a long and expensive process. Vanilla pods themselves are formed from beautiful yellow-green or yellow flowers vanilla. IN vivo flowers are pollinated by insects and hummingbirds, but in plantations this is done by hand. Green pods ripen on stems for 8-9 months. Then they are collected and dried for another six months. During the drying process, white crystals appear on the pods - natural vanillin. Tahitian vanilla is grown in the islands of French Polynesia (Tahiti) and is rarer and more expensive than Bourbon vanilla. Its taste is considered milder and the aroma stronger than that of Vanilla planifolia. Tahitian vanilla contains less vanillin and more heliotropin, which gives it fruity nuances. French vanilla, which is often found in perfume compositions, is not a specific type of vanilla. But this component is a kind of quality mark because of its taste and aroma, intense and identical to natural vanillin. The name "French Vanilla" comes from a French ice cream recipe.

Vanilla is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for perfumers. Vanilla on a suede backing ( Cuir Beluga Guerlain, vanilla with coconut (Un Bois Vanille Serge Lutens), vanilla with incense (Vanille 44 Paris Le Labo) or vanilla with sea water (Vanille Marine M. Micallef) - a cursory investigation is enough to count about three thousand fragrances with this note, and this is not counting those in which vanilla is used not as a supporting, but as a secondary component.
Arguing about which vanilla flavor is better is pointless. I will only talk about those vanilla fragrances that have firmly established themselves on my perfume shelf.
Shalimar Guerlain one of the main “software” vanilla-themed fragrances. Released back in 1921, it is still extremely popular. According to one of the legends of the house, Jacques Guerlain created Shalimar almost by chance: one day Justin Dupont an ordinary employee of the Guerlain perfume house, presented the perfumer with a vanilla fragrance obtained synthetically - ethyl vanillin. This was an absolute innovation, because the house Guerlain always used only natural ingredients. Either by accident or out of curiosity, Jacques Guerlain added ethyl vanillin to perfume jicky, created back in 1889, and was born Shalimar. I do not like Shalimar neither vintage nor modern design. I'm indifferent to limited editions and collector's editions. However, without it, my collection of vanilla fragrances would be incomplete, because it is a symbolic fragrance, a legendary fragrance.
Hay, toffee, vanilla - when I see this trinity in the pyramid of aroma, I immediately imagine some kind of cadavers like Shalimar (forgive me, fans of this generally recognized imperishable!). Sniffing this is scary. The only desire is to hold your nose and run without looking back. And if lavender is also included in the composition - that's it, then I myself turn into a cadaver. Perfumery masterpieces with such a structure are not available to me. Half of the classics - by! It's a shame. My savior, as always, was Pierre Guillaume, thanks to which I recently learned to understand citrus and chypre aromas. This time the scent was the thrown rope PG21 Felanilla Parfumerie Generale. The aroma of hay in it is realistic, warm, dry, with echoes of a variety of herbs from clover to mint. Vanilla is not syrupy, a bit dusty, barely sweet. Iris is strict, clear, without stupid drunken staggering towards violets or carrots. Saffron, banana leaf, resins are also very delicate and stand out in the general canvas only with a very thoughtful test. Overall flavor PG21 Felanilla relaxing, pacifying and, at the same time, toning, clearing the brain and nose with its harmonious simplicity.
Siwa Memo This is a nostalgic scent. Vanilla in it is unobtrusive, hiding under a pile of memories. Either that was the smell of burnt market perfumes, with which I started my difficult perfume-manic path in middle school, or my mother's cosmetics from Beryozka, or foreign chewing gum-candies of post-perestroika times.
A couple of years ago, I foolishly walked up to the scent stand. memo,- and disappeared. For the whole day I walked like crazy, kissing the fading blotter, and everything inside froze: this smell definitely met me in the interval from 1995 to 2005, in the days of my first loves.
Of course, if you start to dissect it, then you can smell milky green notes of wheat germ, and creamy coconut notes (they are given by whiskey lactone), and the salty heat of freshly popped popcorn, and bubbling vibrating aldehydes, and the straight tartness of cinnamon leaf, crushed with vanilla bean. But if you don’t think about it, then this is it - the smell of my youth, goosebumps, butterflies in my stomach.
Un Bois Vanille Serge Lutens - it's an overdose of licorice and coconut on a fluffy vanilla base. Yes, these notes would look much more organically on the pharmacy and confectionery, and not on the perfume shelf. However, it is precisely because of these notes that the fragrance creates such an aura of security that is so necessary for me, because potion and cookies are inseparable attributes of childhood, when even during illness or bad weather it was light and sunny at heart. Un Bois Vanilla- it is the psychotherapist among fragrances. Give it a try and you might be able to lower your antidepressants!

Chanel Allure- it's vanilla with vitamins. The standard “zilch” pulls out prickly citruses from the fragrance, represented by bergamot and Calabrian mandarin, then a bag of vanilla tickling in the throat and a couple of jasmine sprigs fall on them, which makes Allure look like Dior Addict. This is where it all ends. Another thing is drip application. I do this - I puff a couple of milliliters into the atomizer, unscrew it and, when necessary, perfume myself like ordinary perfume. For the first few minutes, the citruses are desperately fighting and trying to dominate, but then notes of peach skin, elegant, almost imperceptible rose, balanced cedar and a drop of sour jasmine come in, which gradually, over several hours, gradually subside, smoothed out by airy, slightly sweet vanilla. A tart and strict vetiver adds zest to the fragrance. Aroma metamorphoses are most clearly manifested in the concentration Eau de Toilette- the contrast between the beginning and the base is so sharp that it can scare off the blotter. In perfumes that sit close to the skin, almost do not sillage and create an aura of intimacy, citruses are not bright, but are heard throughout the entire “life” of the fragrance. The vanilla component in the perfume is even more velvety and muted. Perhaps the most wearable version can be considered Allure in eau de parfum. There's a lot here, just the same. The main thing is not to overdo it with the application - one small drop per back side left hand, the other on the right, otherwise you risk giving the impression of a tomato vendor from Elektrougli station on a working afternoon.
One of my favorite vanilla flavors is Cuir Beluga Guerlain. Delicate suede, creamy ice cream, macaroons, cherry cake. Yes, lots of sugar. No, the seals will not fall out. Its only, but very tangible minus is the price. In online stores, a 75 ml bottle now costs about 16 thousand rubles. It’s scary to even approach the Tsumovsky corner. In short, not everyone can afford it.
If you like Cuir Beluga Guerlain, but the purchase threatens to punch a dimensionless hole in the budget, here is a completely adequate replacement for you.
Cafe Chantant, an Italian niche designer fragrance Nobile 1942, costs half as much (about 7.5 thousand for the same volume), and smells almost the same.
Of course, there are differences between these two fragrances, but still, Cafe Chantant very, very similar to Cuir Beluga. If we compare them simultaneously, we can see that in Cafe Chantant the second key note after vanilla is cherry. IN Cuir Beluga the emphasis is shifted to heliotrope, which, let me remind you, breaks down into notes of almond, vanilla and cherry. That is, it turns out Cafe Chantant more cherry, Cuir Beluga- more almond. But in the drydown, these two fragrances are almost indistinguishable.
Even the absence in the composition Cafe Chantant notes of suede around which the whole story revolves Cuir Beluga, almost imperceptible due to the fact that Cafe Chantant There are notes of iris.

Another one of my vanilla favorites is Lann-Ael Lostmarc'h. The name in translation seems to mean from Breton “Breakfast of the gorse angel” (and as you know, elves like to relax and have a snack in the gorse bushes). What can I say? The fragrance is both simple and beautiful. It is surprisingly cozy, the most, that neither is, autumn smell.
The first rays of the sun, breaking through the foggy haze, gild the trunks of trees (I prefer oaks and pines), sparkle in drops of dew on fluffy lilac bushes of heather. Quiet, chilly and sleepy. Suddenly, in the thicket, you see a neatly set tiny table. On it is a clay dish, on which lie ruddy fragrant wild apples, freshly baked, still warm fragrant oatmeal cookies, sprinkled with vanilla and nuts. Close by, covered with homespun linen napkin, stands a large mug of hot milk. With foam. Or no foam. This is optional.

Well, the last fragrance that I will talk about today is Vanille Patchouli Molinard. The vanilla in it is not confectionary, and the patchouli does not smell of damp earth at all. I associate this dry, slightly spicy and almost rough aroma with that time of the year, when the trees have long been bare, and flocks of birds departing for the winter are flying across the sky. Dry, brittle grass rustles in the wind, the thermometer, losing its summer positions, inexorably crawls to zero, and I take out scarves and gloves smelling of mothballs from the boxes to keep warm during melancholy walks along the edge of the already transparent forest in my castle. By the way, Vanille Patchouli can be worn not only solo, but also used for layering. It can be mixed with other vanilla flavor of the line - Vanille Fruitee, and then the vanilla flavor will become more intense and cheerful, or you can - with Patchouli of the same brand, then the vanilla will hide, and the fragrance profile will become more intense and depressing, but certainly comfortable for dark winter evenings.

Vanilla different people associated with absolutely different things. Some have shower gel with vanilla flavor, others have vanilla curd cheeses, others have vanilla-scented perfumes... And only a very small number of the population of our planet associate vanilla with liberation, awakening of feelings and love.

Let's try to figure out whether vanilla is really an aphrodisiac and what does small bags with the inscription "vanillin" from the confectionery department have to do with it?

What does vanilla mean?

Only in the 19th century was the reason for the failure discovered: vanilla flowers, which open for exactly one day, are pollinated in their homeland by a special species of bees and hummingbirds that live only in Mexico. Since then, artificial pollination of vanilla flowers has been used and grown in all countries with a tropical climate.

Vanilla is native to Central America. The spice grows on a perennial orchid, which is pollinated only special kind local bees and hummingbirds. Vanilla fruits develop from the pollinated flower. But only half of the pollinated flowers form vanilla ovaries. People have learned to pollinate the plant themselves in order to get more spice. Because of this labor-intensive process, vanilla is the most expensive spice in the world.

Currently, the largest supplier of vanilla spice is the island of Madagascar. It produces 2000 tons of vanilla per year. This is 60% of the annual world spice production.

Unfortunately, many of us do not consume real vanilla. People have learned to industrially synthesize powder from wood with a similar smell. It's called vanillin.
