Vanilla Powder Extrait by MATIERE PREMIERE is a distinctive interpretation of vanilla, built around contrast and concentration. At its heart is Vanilla Absolute from Madagascar, chosen sourced by Founder and Master Perfumer Aurélien Guichard for its dark, supple character and subtle salty facet. Grown and transformed over nearly eighteen months on Fair for Life–certified land, this exceptional raw material reflects both its terroir and the expertise of those who cultivate it.

The extrait has a higher concentration of Vanilla Absolute compared to the Eau de Parfum, which intensifies its presence and sillage. To elevate the extrait further, Guichard introduced an exceptional guest ingredient, Tonka Bean Absolute from Venezuela. Ground to powder before extraction, the tonka is used as a natural powder note, bringing depth, texture and an addictive quality to the composition.

Vanilla Powder Extrait challenges traditional expectations of vanilla, offering a more nuanced and contemporary expression. The result is a powerful yet refined fragrance, which is unmistakably modern. Through his uncompromising focus on raw materials, Aurélien redefines vanilla as an ingredient of complexity, character and lasting impact.
