La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Noire du Mexique is an Eau de Toilette. Vanille Noire du Mexique opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Iris, Vanilla, and Opoponax. La Maison de la Vanille's Vanille Noire du Mexique carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This "black vanilla" is a divisive one. Some find it a rich, sophisticated gourmand masterpiece, others a cloying, artificial mess that barely smells of vanilla. Don't blind buy unless you like your vanillas with serious chocolatey, earthy patchouli, or even a hint of 'skank'.

About

Vanille Noire du Mexique opens with a zesty bergamot, a brief flash of brightness that quickly yields to a heart of delicate rose and heady jasmine. The real show begins in the base, where a warm, sumptuous vanilla is wrapped in balsamic opoponax and an earthy, sometimes chocolate-like, patchouli. A hint of powdery iris adds a smooth, slightly vintage feel to this rich, warm composition.
