Parfum d'Empire Madagascar Le Baume Vanille is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Madagascar Le Baume Vanille opens with Pepper and Rum, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Cedar, Cinnamon, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Parfum d'Empire's Madagascar Le Baume Vanille carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This isn't your average vanilla. It's a boozy, spicy, and fiercely polarising scent that you'll either love or hate, with no middle ground. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but a masterpiece for those who dare.

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.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its dark, boozy, and spicy profile, make it entirely unsuitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for intimate dates and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Madagascar Le Baume Vanille opens with a potent blast of spiced rum and peppercorns, almost fiery. This boozy intensity mellows into a rich heart of cacao, cinnamon, and clove, underscored by a subtle woody cedar and a hint of coconut. The dry down is a dark, complex vanilla, far from gourmand, mingling with musk and a lingering boozy warmth.
