MOD Vanilla
A gourmand musk moving from plum and creamy musks through orris and praline to vanilla and cocoa butter.
One half of a paired collection, this is the side that leans into sweetness. It opens on dark, juicy plum and creamy musks, with pink freesia letting light into the heavier fruit.
The heart sets orris butter beside white praline and jasmine petals. The dry, powdery character of orris keeps the nutty confection from turning sticky, while the jasmine adds a floral sheen.
Vanilla absolute and upcycled cocoa butter form the base, the cocoa butter giving the vanilla a rounded, buttery softness so that a composition that began with fruit settles firmly on the dessert side. Listed as a gourmand musk, it places musk at the very start rather than saving it for the end.
