The story behind the bottle.
Vanille de Madagascar by Chopard, launched in 2017 and crafted by Alberto Morillas and Nathalie Lorson, is a fragrance that marries the rich warmth of vanilla with fresh, aromatic notes. It opens with bergamot and orange blossom, creating an initial brightness that contrasts beautifully with the deep, comforting tones of Madagascar vanilla and caramel. The heart of the composition features tea, adding a subtle green freshness to balance the sweetness. This is anchored by a base of Haitian vetiver and cedar, which lend earthy warmth and depth.
Apply this fragrance lightly at first; it has a slow build that allows the full depth of its notes to emerge over time. The caramel and vanilla base notes take center stage after about an hour, so a light application in the morning will ensure they are fully present by afternoon.
