What's in the flowerbed?
It was a cold February night in the rural town of Allende (Mexico) in 1969 when the largest amount of coconut vanillite (not to be confused with Pokemon vanillite) that ever fell on the earth plunged into a flowerbed right next to the post office building. Parts of the vanilla meteorite were found in an area of 8 kilometers and the original total mass was about 2 tons and had the size of an ice car.
In the morning all hell broke loose in Allende. The local post office official declared a state of emergency: "What's in the flowerbed? Now I have to repaint." Through the Apollo program, the whole world was interested in space right now, and professionals were everywhere. At first there was a bit of confusion whether the magnolia belonged to the vanillite and had grown on the meteor or whether it had only gotten into the meteorite through the fall. However, the results of the investigation remained secret for the next decades. Somehow Xerjoff got hold of the results of the investigation in 2018 and they succeeded in distilling the meteorite.
Salvador Allende (1908-1973) was then just one politician among many in the Chilean Unidad Popular (UP), i.e. between two offices. That's why he didn't notice the vanillite meteor at all.
You have to be strong to carry two tons of vanilla scent. It probably helps if you are an astronaut or an astronomer, ice cream vendor or postal worker (high on the yellow wagon). One should wear this fragrance in the colder half of the year. For example, at night in February. Or to commemorate the spirit of optimism that prevailed in the Apollo program at the time. Or if you're in the mood for custard and no one's around.
Generally speaking, however, you have to ask yourself whether you would like to spend so much money on a generic vanilla scent with an unlisted coconut note. There is something similar in the Comptoir Sud Pacifique (Vanilla Coco layered with Vanilla Tiaré?) or Les Senteurs Gourmandes (Vanilla Monoï?). That's just a guess, of course. Perhaps there is only this one unmistakable meteor of coconut vanillite.
