Vanilla Edesia by Cecile Zarokian
"A decadent vanilla scent that reveals the light and dark sides of this exotic orchid fruit."
Opulent, hedonistic, exciting
Vanilla Edesia is a scent ladened with excess. It opens with a delightfully lively mix of citruses and spices, combined with a delectable bitter almond facet. This mellows and deepens as cumin and coriander come to the fore, highlighting and contrasting the creamy vanilla which lies at the heart of the scent.
The rich and precious vanilla absolute in Vanilla Edesia is dark, resinous and slightly salty. Creamy and nutty accents give the fragrance movement, whilst spices warm, and enrich the composition. The main focus of the scent is the interplay between the richness of the vanilla and the spicy cumin which balances and enfolds it.
Heliotrope, ylang ylang and rose centifolia absolute all bring touches of sophistication and elegance to ensure that this is no ordinary gourmand scent, which is further enhanced by the deep base of robust woods, vetiver and white musks.
Vanilla Edesia is truly a scent which is a feast for the senses, resonant and exciting, it takes gourmand fragrances to a new level.
Edesia was the Roman goddess of feasting, her banqueting tables groaned with the weight of the delicacies she presented. With Vanilla Edesia we celebrate the delight of gourmand fragrances in homage to this most opulent of deities. Not only is Vanilla Edesia a scent bursting with edible vanilla, almond, milky notes and spices, it is also a fragrance luxurious enough for Edesia to enjoy!
Perfumer quote, from Cecile Zarokian:
"Vanilla Edesia is built on duality - just like the smell of vanilla itself which can evoke sweetness and innocence but also has a darker side, spicier, more leathery.
“On one side the floral, gourmand, creamy, musky part of the perfume brings softness, comfort and sensuality, on the other the strong character shows through the woody, spicy and leathery facets.
“For me this brief was all about abundance and opulence which is why we have so many ingredients and such a long pyramid. It's a very sophisticated and complex perfume, but it's also an appealing, addictive and easy to wear fragrance." Cecile Zarokian
