Van CaoGourmand Vanilla Extrait de Parfum

Van Cao by Maison Jannobi is a gourmand amber vanilla extrait de parfum, unisex, created by Vincent Ricord. Two absolutes at the heart, each named after its terroir.

A French house, founded as a family business

Maison Jannobi is a French house founded as a family business. It prides itself on meticulous creations and a sober, lasting aesthetic, with signatures designed to stand the test of time rather than follow trends — a line that gives full expression to raw materials. Its catalog consists of two extraits de parfum, each entrusted to a different master perfumer: Vincent Ricord for Van Cao, Romain Keller for Soleil de Givre.

An opening of almond milk and hazelnut

Almond milk opens with lactonic and sweet almond notes, while hazelnut adds a roasted touch. Just two ingredients that establish the texture before the flavor.

A heart of Madagascar vanilla and West African cocoa

Madagascar vanilla absolute and West African cocoa absolute form the heart, joined by white chocolate. The cocoa brings a dry and powdery facet — it is what prevents the vanilla from becoming overly sweet.

A base of white musks, tonka bean and amber

White musks establish a clean, cottony feel, tonka bean extends the almond from the opening, and amber brings warmth and longevity.

The house's signature touch

Two absolutes on the same level, each named after its terroir. An absolute is the most concentrated and expensive form of a raw material: to place two at the heart of the same composition is rare, and to follow them with their place of origin even more so. Madagascar for vanilla, West Africa for cocoa. The house thus summarizes its fragrance: “an intense cocoa bean enveloped in a warm and addictive vanilla”.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love cocoa-infused vanillas and are looking for a gourmand fragrance that remains dry. From autumn to winter, by day as well as by night. Van Cao by Maison Jannobi is the more gourmand of the two.
