La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar opens with Bergamot and Lavender, settles into a heart of Geranium, Coriander, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Incense. La Maison de la Vanille's Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a divisive but ultimately beloved vanilla. Some find it a bit too subtle or marred by an initial sharp opening, but for most, it's a 'grown-up' vanilla that offers far more complexity than its price tag suggests. Essential sniffing for vanilla fanatics.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a fleeting, fresh burst of bergamot and lavender, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a rich, dark Madagascar vanilla. This isn't your average sweet treat; it's deep and almost chocolatey, underpinned by smoky incense and earthy vetiver. Sandalwood adds a creamy, woody warmth, creating a sensual and smoothly blended drydown.
