What is vanilla?
Vanilla has quite a story... Revered by the Totonac, an indigenous people, as a sign of invincible love, its name comes from a deformation of "vagina" (meaning what one knows) through the term "vaina." The conquistadors who brought it to Europe found a resemblance to the 'sheath of a sword,' which, of course, has nothing to do with the aphrodisiac virtues attributed to it... If its scent evokes more beige and pastry cream than 17th-century escapades, it's because the vanilla we know in flavors and perfumes is, in fact, vanillin, its main aromatic compound. For our Vanilla, we opted for a bourbon vanilla absolute, with woody and smoky aromas more faithful to the scent of the 'sheath.'
