Vanille des Afriques Intensivo Matkalaboratorio

That Madagascan vanilla absolute is something else — deep, warm, and just a little bit intoxicating in the best way. The travel size is perfect for my carry-on, and one spritz lasts through a full work day.

The orris butter really rounds out the vanilla—it’s creamy but not at all sugary, and the travel size fits perfectly in my coat pocket for touch-ups. The Madagascan absolute lasts a solid six hours on my skin, which is better than most of my full-size bottles.

The Madagascan vanilla absolute is so rich and creamy, it feels like a warm hug in a bottle. I've worn it to work and out to dinner, and the orris butter gives it this elegant, powdery backbone that lasts for hours on my skin.
