“Tonka Bean is first ground into powder, before being transformed into an absolute. I use it as a natural powder ingredient. It gives Vanilla Powder a voluptuous facet and intensifies its addictive character.”
Aurélien Guichard, perfumer and creator of Matière Première
Vanilla Powder Extrait by Matière Première is a more intense and enveloping reinterpretation of Vanilla Powder, built around the contrast between the dark richness of Fair for Life Madagascar Vanilla Absolute and an overdose of modern white powders.
For this Extrait version, Aurélien Guichard increased the overall perfume concentration and the dosage of Vanilla Absolute, enriching the original composition with a guest ingredient: Venezuelan Tonka Bean Absolute.
Tonka Bean is used as a true natural powder, capable of amplifying the softness, sensuality and creaminess of the fragrance. Its warm and enveloping nuances blend with Vanilla, making the composition deeper, more voluptuous and longer-lasting.
The result is an intense and sophisticated Vanilla fragrance, where the dark sweetness of Madagascar Vanilla meets luminous powdery notes and the softness of Tonka Bean, creating a modern, creamy and enveloping trail.
All fragrances from the house contain between 85% and 92% ingredients of natural origin and are gender neutral. The formulas are vegan and made without phthalates or colorants.
