Back in 2018, an unexpected opportunity unfolded as we found ourselves in Indonesia, eagerly anticipating a rendezvous with a dear French friend from Madagascar. Little did we know that this reunion would lead us on a journey of aromatic discovery, centered around the intriguing world of vanilla.

 

Our friend, hailing from the vanilla-rich soils of Madagascar, became our guide through the fragrant landscapes of Indonesia. Together, we ventured into the heart of local farming communities, where the secrets of vanilla cultivation were shared by the passionate farmers.
