We at Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio have always loved vanilla, it was its founder Dr. Di Massimo, my father, who fell in love with her when this raw material had not yet gained the limelight.

Since then most of our perfumes contain vanilla even maybe a small percentage. Vanilla is a base note, very persistent and with a medium intensity. Our VANIGLIA DEL MADAGASCAR perfume was already on the shelf on the day of the opening of our herbal shop on December 8, 1990. Together with perfumes based on raw materials that were very fashionable at the time such as Lily of the Valley, Honeysuckle and our Caterina de ‘ Medici, the VANIGLIA DEL MADAGASCAR, a Gourmand perfume, was an absolute novelty for niche perfumery. The term Gourmand in fact entered the language only in 1992.

Our Vanilla was thus born from an idea of my father who chose to use only natural vanillin by mixing Madagascar vanilla with Mexican vanilla, the first fatter and softer with delicate and floral aromas and the second hotter, more powerful and strongly chocolaty. Combined with creamy and white floral notes, it is today our best-selling perfume in the world, mentioned in various perfume books, reviewed in dozens of videos as one of the most persistent and pleasantly edible vanilla scents.

And that’s why we can’t stop creating new vanilla scented products. The VANIGLIA DEL MADAGASCAR body lotion and shower gelV have long been part of the collection. But from today we also have the new LIP GLOSS VANIGLIA DEL MADAGASCAR: an all-natural product based on castor seed oil and glittery beeswax for a super bright effect and delicately scented with vanilla.

And soon a new scented bag for wardrobes and drawers will arrive with our unmistakable Vanilla aroma.

To crown it all, the oil painting on canvas “Vanilla Orchid” by Paulina Jakubiuk that we bought two years ago, on display in our shop in Florence and that we have reproduced on all the cases.

In short, vanilla lovers can have an olfactory feast here!
