The story behind the bottle.
Vanilla Powder by Matière Première was launched in 2023, created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard. This fragrance is an exploration of warmth and comfort, centered around the rich and enveloping notes of vanilla and coconut powder. The opening introduces a soft, creamy blend of coconut and heliotrope, which quickly gives way to the deep, comforting aroma of Madagascar vanilla and vanilla absolute. As it settles into its base, white musk and palo santo add a woody, powdery texture that creates an overall sense of coziness.
Apply Vanilla Powder with two sprays for best effect. The sweet and creamy top notes will fade within an hour but the powdery musk base will linger throughout the day. This fragrance is particularly suited to cooler evenings or cozy indoor settings.
