🌾 41. A Scented Letter: Vanille Carbone — A raw and addictive vanilla scent
I’ve always been drawn to vanilla—its gentle warmth and sweetness, its rich depth and untamed spirit. It feels grounding—a note that connects memory and imagination..🌳 You can read more about the origins of my vanilla obsession in my Scented Letter on Amouage Outlands.
Crafted by Atelier Materi, Vanille Carbone is a sultry vanilla scent built around three expressions of Madagascar vanilla, exploring the ingredient’s more textured, resinous side—complex, addictive, and quietly elegant.
—before yielding to smooth, faceted layers of vanilla that never turn syrupy. At the edges, a hint of fermented and acidic zing emerges—unexpected and quietly wild. A trail of olibanum (frankincense), with its mineral and spicy facets, weaves a resinous backbone without weight. The result is a raw yet polished vanilla experience—grounded yet radiant, for those who crave something more natural.
Nothing fluffy or candied—just a beautifully layered vanilla that evokes a stroll through untamed grasses on a windswept coast, its subtle sweetness carried on the sea breeze.
