Vanilla2
by Maison Tahité – Officine Creative Profumi
Vanilla2 by Maison Tahité presents a lush, syrupy vanilla that leans into balsamic, amber and praline facets, creating a sweet yet grounded gourmand profile. It features a soft powdery warmth and subtle smokiness from benzoin, giving it a balanced, opulent density. The aroma feels intimate and inviting, more resinous than floral, with a lasting presence that lingers well into the evening. While some note a slight leather or plastic-like character, most appreciate its straightforward, pure vanilla essence, likening it to a tactile vanilla extract with a creamy, cylindrical texture. It performs reliably throughout the day and into night, appealing especially to fans of full-bodied vanilla with a minimal, clean profile.
