A deeper indulgence in vanilla. Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru by Maison Mataha revisits the comforting character of the original through two vanilla absolutes, richly caramelized sugar, and balsamic warmth.

Created by Vincent Ricord, this interpretation draws on the memory of crème brûlée: the contrast between a dark, brittle caramel crust and smooth vanilla custard. Cristal and Bourbon vanilla absolutes bring added depth and texture to the familiar gourmand signature, creating an enveloping expression of sweetness and sensuality.

Cristal vanilla and Peru balsam introduce a warm, rounded opening. Black sugar and tonka bean enrich the heart with caramelized sweetness, while Bourbon vanilla and musk soften the finish into a velvety embrace.
