Maison Tahité Fragrances
Maison Tahité is an Italian project from 2020 that builds collections around vanilla, cacao, and coffee. Begin by comparing Vanilla² with praline and benzoin, spicy Coffee Bomb with its milky coffee opening, and Velvet Coffee, which combines coffee with cacao, iris, and a woody base.
About the brand
Maison Tahité Fragrances
Maison Tahité treats gourmand materials not as one generic sweet accord, but as themes for separate collections. Roberto Drago leads creative direction, Daniela Caon art direction, and guest perfumers compose the fragrances. This approach gives vanilla, cacao, and coffee several distinct authorial interpretations.
Marie Duchêne's Vanilla² takes vanilla through the entire structure, from vanilla flower to praline and powdery notes, then benzoin. Arturetto Landi's Coffee Bomb begins with coffee, milk, and spices, reveals a floral heart, and ends in a complex base of vanilla, cacao, incense, woods, leather, and musk.
Velvet Coffee offers another coffee construction. Cardamom and cacao lead to a coffee accord, iris, cedar, and benzoin; sandalwood, moss, leather, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla, and Ambroxan emerge below. It provides a useful contrast with the spicier and denser Coffee Bomb.
Choose first which material should lead the composition: vanilla in a powdery-resinous setting, or coffee in a spicy or woody treatment. Then test the fragrance on skin. Packaging made with cardboard, vegetable glue, and paper from almond shells extends the brand's material concept beyond the bottle.
