The story behind the bottle.
Vanille Malika by Chopard, crafted by perfumer Dora Baghriche and launched in 2023, is a rich blend of warmth and sweetness. It opens with the crisp tartness of litchi and pink pepper before transitioning into an enveloping heart of bourbon vanilla and Madagascar vanilla, which are then anchored by smoky opoponax and warm spices. The base notes of sandalwood and cashmeran add a luxurious powdery depth that makes this fragrance both comforting and intriguing.
Vanille Malika is best applied in thin layers. The top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so a light spritz allows the rich base notes to emerge gradually over time. It pairs well with cooler weather when its warmth feels most welcome.
