When a breath of fresh air blows on Valentino
With Vanille in 2012, Patchouli finally has an oriental successor who not only not only reproduces its treasures but also adds new ones! If the “reminiscade” endures, it takes on a characterful vanilla from all over the world, a delight!
Vanilla, a fragrant renewal with a strong character signed Réminiscence
Patchouli, Amber and Musk left their mark on a whole generation of bohemian women of the 70s, so much their oriental fragrances are part of our perfumed heritage. Despite great novelties in perfumery such as Rem 'in 1996, Réminiscence had never offered a new opus to these three Orientals who came straight from the hippie years and the dreams of its creators Nino Amaddeo and Zoé Coste. Nothing. Until Vanilla and its Fabrice Pellegrin nose.
Of course Vanille will always consist of what is now called the "reminiscade" or the mixture of favorite materials that built the first three 70's perfumes. But Vanille will also know how to compose brilliant modernities discovered by perfumery since, such as the work of facets on the precious vanilla pods.
Vanilla, will therefore present itself as a modern bohemian juice which wants to stick to the skin of its 70's ancestors as much as of its new millennium. Logically enough, the visual as well as the advertising for Vanille will be done in a bohemian-chic-baroque setting as timeless as it is furiously modern. Because basically the strength of Patchouli, like that of its new successor Vanilla, is to be a scent of character that does not care about fashions.
Vanille de Réminiscence is not a gourmet fragrance but an oriental one!
Vanille could be the representative of a passing of the baton between the three juices composed in 1970 and the continuation of their adventures, 42 years later. In a relatively obvious way then, the Vanilla bottle will honor its Patchouli, Musk and Amber ancestors by displaying its beautiful attributes with the same pride. Vanille thus appears in an inclined glass decorated with gold stars and topped with a cylindrical steel star cabochon, exactly like Patchouli in 1970.
Vanille, created by Fabrice Pellegrin, therefore wants to highlight all the most beautiful facets of vanilla from Tahiti, Uganda and Madagascar. As a result, the beautiful oriental does not hesitate to open up with fruity notes of osmanthus and bergamot. At the heart it is of course the vanilla that will make us exhale their intense charms with notes of vanilla flower and vanilla infusion. Jasmine and heliotrope bring their flowery sweetness to these beautiful exotic pods. Finally, Ugandan vanilla crosses with Bourbon vanilla to create a deep trail embellished with sensualities of patchouli and benzoin. The tonka bean and the praline bring a touch of greed to these vanillas which will wrap themselves in the cottony sweetness of white musks.
“A concentrate of the best qualities of Vanilla, from Tahiti, Madagascar and Uganda, coated with noble materials, which invites pleasure and travel…” Reminiscent for Vanilla.
