Mexican Vanilla

Vanilla is native to Mexico, where the Totonac people of the Gulf coast cultivated the orchid long before plantations spread to the islands of the Indian Ocean. Mexican beans come from the same species as Madagascar's bourbon vanilla, yet they are generally described as spicier and woodier, and the note is pitched darker than a plain vanilla, more resinous and spiced.

How this is calculated

Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.

Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
