THE AMBERY, WOODY DELICIOUSNESS OF GUERLAIN VANILLA, IN ITS ULTIMATE CONCENTRATION

Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 reveals vanilla in its most perfect olfactory expression at Guerlain, unveiling a truly delectable signature from within. Pushed to its farthest limit, an overabundance of vanilla is tinged with that Guerlain je-ne-sais-quoi that turns it into a magnificent fragrance, in an ultimate concentration of 30%.

The Guerlain Perfumers have multiplied the headiness of vanilla by punctuating it with spiced notes. At the base, it is swathed in notes of musk and the famous opopanine, the legendary ambery accord favoured by Guerlain.

Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 is part of the Les Extraits Signature collection of extracts, which embody the quintessence of the Guerlain scent trail. This collection pays homage to the alchemy of the Maison’s iconic signature, Guerlinade, by highlighting the six raw materials within it and revealing the golden number of each one.

EXTRAIT 21 FOR 21 DAYS

21 is the golden number of Guerlain vanilla. The Maison’s chosen vanilla planifolia must be cold-soaked in alcohol for 21 days in order to transform into a tincture. Performed by hand, this traditional technique* bestows the precious vanilla with its extraordinarily luscious scent.

*in combination with other processing techniques
