Vanila

Vanilla, derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, is highly valued for its fragrance and flavor. The most common type, Vanilla planifolia, produces an aroma that is warm, sweet, and rich. The scent profile of vanilla is comforting and universally liked, often described as creamy, rich, and smooth, with subtle hints of exotic spice. This complex fragrance comes from vanillin along with over 200 other compounds which can vary depending on the method and duration of curing the vanilla beans. Vanilla's versatility makes it a popular choice in perfumery, where it's used to add a lush, gourmand quality to fragrances, often serving as a base note that provides a lingering depth. It blends well with a wide variety of scents, including woody, spicy, floral, and citrus notes, enhancing and rounding out the overall perfume profile.
