Benevolence by House Of Sillage is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Benevolence was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Camail. Top notes are Bitter Almond, Star Anise and Bergamot; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Lavender; base notes are Sugar, Madagascar Vanilla and Musk. In autumn 2012 House of Sillage presents limited editions Emerald Reign, limited edition Nouez Moi, limited edition Holiday by House of Sillage and the Signature Collection which also includes Cherry Garden, Love is in the Air and Benevolence. All fragrances are made by acclaimed noses from France, and they are all different—gourmand, fresh, floral—and all very wearable. The number of bottles for each of the six fragrances is very limited, but they will always be available in refill bottles, which are less expensive and still very attractive. "A gift wrapped in the promise of a journey where the sacred essence of love becomes the source of immortality." Benevolence is a floral, sweet, and powdery vanilla fragrance. It contains notes of bitter almond, Tunisian orange blossom and vanilla from Madagascar.

A Signature Fragrance
Sugar
Sugar in fragrance is not just about its sweet profile; it's a nuanced element that can evoke memories of childhood treats or sophisticated desserts. It often comes from synthetic sources designed to mimic the comforting aroma of sugar without the actual substance, offering a versatile tool for perfumers to craft complex olfactory narratives.
Madagascar Vanilla
Madagascar vanilla is known for its deep, sweet aroma that evokes creamy desserts and warm spices. This vanilla variety is sourced from the island's lush rainforests, where the labor-intensive hand-pollination process ensures its rich flavor and scent. Its essence is a complex blend of floral notes and earthy undertones, creating an inviting warmth.
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.

Fragrances that pair well with Benevolence
Almond Vanilla Amber
Both fragrances share Madagascar vanilla and bergamot, so Benevolence's sugared almond and orange blossom sweetness blends straight into Ambar Del Sur's labdanum and sandalwood amber. Jasmine and musk hold the floral thread while the two vanillas merge into one denser gourmand base.
Spray Benevolence first for the almond-orange blossom top, then follow with Ambar Del Sur at the chest so the sandalwood and labdanum extend the vanilla.
