A spicy amber, sensual and comforting
Grande Ile is the name of Madagascar, the biggest Island of the Indian Ocean, a world by itself. The most premium qualities of spices from Madagascar have been combined together in this rich perfume.
Premium natural extracts of black and pink pepper are at the core of the construction, bringing a strong spicy profile, creating tension within the fragrance, while an infusion of vanilla bourbon concrete brings comfort, combined with a bouquet of woods.
This spicy ambery fragrance brings sensuality and warmth in a combination with multiple facets. It is a tribute to Madagascar, a celebration of its fantastic biodiversity, and a vibrant homage to the vanilla harvesters from the Sava.

The climate of Sava region is optimal with tropical and mild conditions; Vanilla planifolia vines grow perfectly under the shade, in rich and drained soils.
Vanilla, the iconic spice of Madagascar, is reputed to be the best in the world. GRANDE ILE contains an infusion of vanilla concrete that complements the peppery profile of the fragrance.
In the region of Sava, each vanilla flower is pollinated by hand to become a bean. Drying and curing take place in remote villages. Vanilla is a vital activity for 80 000 farmers living in the Big Island.
Schinus terebinthifolius bushes grow wild in the Réunion and Mauritius islands, but In the south east of Madagascar, it is cultivated by smallholders. Dried berries are generally sold as spices.
Best qualities of this “false pepper” fruit originate from the Indian Ocean. GRANDE ILE contains a superfluid extract of pink pepper berries, bringing a top note with sweet and peppery profile.
Pink pepper has become an attractive diversification opportunity for local communities.
Pepper nigrum vines grow in the wild or in farmer gardens in the hot and humid climate of the island, at varying elevations and in different locations, primarily in the south east of the Big Island.
Madagascar has some of the world’s finest peppers, acclaimed by master chefs and perfumers. GRANDE ILE contains a superfluid extract of black pepper, one of the highest quality of pepper for fine perfumery.
Once harvested, peppercorns are sun-dried for two weeks until they become black. and sold for the spice market primarily. This source of revenue can be vital for some smallholders in the low season.
In Madagascar, we partner with the Mahadera school.
Mahadera is a vocational school for the youth, aiming at professionalization of farming in the Sava, the region of vanilla cultivation. Students learn to grow 60 food and cash crops, across 25 hectares around the school.
Our project supports graduated students to follow their entrepreneurial projects. We provide individual grants for them to make investments in their family farm, and to implement practices they have learned at the Mahadera school, with a focus on revenue diversification, agroforestry and multi cropping.
Malagasy farmers are in need to find resilient practices to face a drier climate and the inherent challenges to vanilla farming in Madagascar.
