PPT — Papeete, Escale extrait de parfum

There, even the air seems fragrant. This island smells so good it's almost unreal. Even after leaving, two elements remain etched in memory. Tiare and the oil it perfumes, monoi, sunny, comforting, and omnipresent. Then Vanilla tahitensis, Tahitian vanilla, airy and creamy, with something fruity, floral, and anise-like, making it more nuanced than classic vanilla.

It is this memory that PPT evokes. It captures that warm and luminous trail, that sunny caress that extends the island long after leaving it, carried by this encounter between the clarity of tiare on one side and the texture and complexity of Tahitian vanilla on the other.
