La Maison De La Vanille

La Maison De La Vanille is represented by Moai from 2000 and Vanahe from 2006. Moai combines lavender and bergamot with coriander, patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood, and tonka bean. Vanahe is built around berries, white flowers, citrus, and aquatic notes.

Moai opens with lavender and bergamot. Musk, coriander, and patchouli form the heart, while vanilla, sandalwood, and tonka bean make up the base. Vanilla is integrated into an aromatic woody-spicy structure rather than treated as the fragrance's only subject.

Vanahe begins with blackcurrant, wild strawberry, white lily, orchid, and bergamot. Aquatic notes, grapefruit, orange, and lemon appear later. Compared with the warmer Moai, this composition offers a brighter floral citrus profile. Together, the two scents show that the brand name does not restrict the collection to one type of sweet vanilla accord.

The two structures do not duplicate one another. Moai makes vanilla part of a warm base with sandalwood and tonka while retaining a lavender-spice framework. Vanahe distributes attention among berries, white flowers, water, and citrus. The collection is therefore better understood as several approaches to fragrant materials rather than as a series of identical vanilla scents. The difference is apparent in the opening notes and remains through the drydown.
