Perfumery
OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Vanilla is the star of our combined senses of smell and taste, and is one of the most sought-after and appreciated aromas by all. It is notable how much more successful imitation vanillas seem to be these days than the plant itself.
Thus, Le Sourceur’s Green Vanilla hopes to refocus attention on this treasure of nature, through a healthy and fair process. This vanilla is younger, more floral and resinous than usual. Infinitely more delicate, its evolution is at first subtly powdery and finely balmy. As its aura warms up and fills the air, we detect accents reminiscent of animal fur, but also more leathery and woody. The background seems to go on forever, in the sweetest of ways, bringing back distant childhood memories.

*The FEMA number is an international food safety number. It is essential to be able to use them in the kitchen, without it, you are not allowed to consume them. Le Sourceur rejects any responsibility in case of non respect of these rules. Essential oils are also very concentrated, a single drop is often enough to flavor your cold dishes, when we consider a maximum of 2 to 3 drops on a hot dish. Be careful with their use in cooking, too much of them can be dangerous or even fatal. If in doubt, contact a specialist.
