Velvet Cloud is our rebellion against confectionery vanilla. It strips away spun sugar to reveal the raw, dark pod: woody, leathered, and soaked in ancient resins.
The introduction is a whisper of smoked nutmeg and aged barrel rum. Soon, the velvety body of cured Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans emerges, tempered by the dry pencil-shaving aroma of Atlas cedarwood and roasted tonka bean. In the deep drydown, tears of golden Siam benzoin balsam and smoked cashmere woods create an enveloping tactile aura—like wrapping oneself in a weighted wool blanket on a rain-swept Delhi winter night.
Each flacon is blended in numbered seasonal macerations. Secure studio dispatch.
Whole Pod Whole Maceration
We never use synthetic vanillin crystals. Instead, whole cured Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans are hand-slit and macerated directly in botanical alcohol alongside Atlas cedarwood shavings for five full months.
This traditional tincture extracts not just sweetness, but the woody, phenolic, and balsamic facets that make real vanilla one of the most intoxicating aphrodisiac notes known to perfumery.
