Roberto Drago and Daniela Caon, the founders of Laboratorio Olfattivo, launched Maison Tahité in 2020 with a specific gap in mind: no house had ever devoted itself entirely to gourmand raw materials, so they built one. Drago grew up in Turin where his family owned a small perfumery, and the brand carries that sensibility into a collection spanning vanilla, cacao and coffee, each explored across multiple fragrances by perfumers including Paul Guerlain, Luca Maffei and Céline Ellena. The name references Vanilla tahitensis, the Tahitian orchid at the heart of the brand. Packaging is recycled cardboard, vegetable glue and paper made from almond shells; every box includes a plantable card. Sustainable luxury, built around the ingredients that most of niche perfumery treats as supporting characters.
Choose your favourite ingredient
Maison Tahité is an inviting house for anyone who loves gourmand perfume. Start with vanilla, cacao or coffee, then explore how different perfumers change its character. Comparing several compositions around one ingredient makes the differences easy to notice and gives enthusiasts a reason to keep exploring. The recycled packaging and plantable card extend the thought behind the fragrance into the finished object, making a bottle a considered gift for someone whose favourite note you already know.
