Key ingredients from the Origin
Vanilla
Vanilla is extremely important to Madagascar, as it is the world’s leading producer of this valuable crop. The vanilla industry supports the livelihoods of over 80,000 farmers and significantly contributes to the country’s economy. Its export generates substantial foreign income, making it a crucial part of Madagascar’s agricultural sector.
Pink Pepper
Pink pepper is carefully hand-picked and sun-dried in Madagascar’s coastal regions, where the Indian Ocean’s distinctive climate nurtures the finest quality of this 'false pepper'. Renowned worldwide, Madagascar’s pink pepper is celebrated for its vivid color, delicate, fruity flavor, and distinctive, aromatic character.
Black Pepper
Madagascar produces some of the world’s finest peppers, highly prized by chefs and perfumers alike. Black pepper is used in both culinary and aromatic creations. When combined with supercritical CO₂ extract, it imparts a distinctive, spicy signature to fragrances, enhancing depth and complexity.
"I was trying to bring the sensuality, the sensation of the skin warmed up by the sun, bring this light that you will find in a place like Madagascar." Frank Volkl, Perfumer
