A curious fact about vanilla
Madagascar is by far the largest vanilla producer: according to FAO statistics, around 3,100 of the world's roughly 7,400 tonnes came from there in 2023. Read more in Vanilla in perfume. How the two Althair versions differ is explained in Althair or Althair Exclusif?
How to find your winter scent
If you like it sweet, start with tonka and vanilla; if you prefer depth, try amber and leather. With every bottle of 30 ml or more, we include a 2 ml sample of the same fragrance. In our boutique in Bregenz we are happy to advise you in person.
