Vanilla in Velixir perfumes

Vanilla is the base note that most people recognise first. The names Bourbon and Madagascar on some lists point at where the pods were grown, which sets the style a little: both are rich, round and sweet. In perfumery it sweetens, softens and makes other notes smell warmer.
