Reunion Island, from its former name Ile Bourbon, is famous for its volcanic
interior covered with tropical forests which are home to a rich and endemic
flora, including the Flamboyant, this emblematic tree which owes its name to
its scarlet-colored flowers.
Reunion Island is also famous for its Bourbon Vanilla, considered the best
vanilla in the world, used by the greatest culinary chefs.
Vanilla is sweet, rich, hot, surprisingly versatile.
It’s one of the most popular notes in the perfume world.
Inspired by this mysterious, and at the same time so familiar smell,
La Maison de la Vanille creates collections of high quality perfumes
which use vanilla in different ways.
« Vanilla made me go around the world. From these distant shores I have retained the sweet,
the savage, the seized-at-flight, the fresh and the mysterious. Then I closed my
eyes and I imagined. »
