Tihota is the holy-grail vanilla for people who have tried every other vanilla: pure Tahitian vanilla, almond milk and white musk, nothing else, worn by the fragrance community like a secret handshake. The name means “sugar” in Tahitian. It lasts all day, projects softly and never turns to candy. 50 ml eau de parfum, $299.

Why Indult
Indult was Francis Kurkdjian’s first love, launched in Paris in 2006 as a private club of three fragrances, each originally limited to 999 bottles. Tihota is the one that survived and became a cult; it is still made in small quantities and rarely reaches Australia. Everything ships sealed from Sydney with Australia Post tracking, $8 Standard or $11 Express, within two business days.
Questions
What does Indult Tihota smell like?
Pure vanilla: Tahitian vanilla absolute, a little almond milk, white musk. No smoke, no booze, no sugar. Soft projection, all-day longevity.
How does Tihota compare with other vanillas?
It is the purest of them. Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille is darker and boozier; Affinessence Vanille-Benjoin is drier and more resinous. Tihota is the clean, creamy reference point.
Is it authentic?
Yes. Every bottle is sourced by us through authorised retail channels, kept sealed and checked before dispatch. We are an independent Australian retailer and are not affiliated with the brand.
