Vanilla originated in Mexico, where the Aztecs used it to soften the bitterness of chocolate. There were many European attempts to cultivate the pods outside of their original home. Louis XIV fell in love with it and wanted to grow it on the island of Bourbon, Reunion. But all attempts under his reign failed. No one knew how to fertilize vanilla outside its native area. Europeans did not know that the Mexican Melipona bee was responsible for pollination. In fact, thanks to it, the orchid produces a long, green fruit commonly called a vanilla pod.Gourmet and suave, Melipona is a fragrance that elegantly opens with woody and vanilla notes and gives way to oriental and amber notes in the base.
