Vaniglia Eau de Parfum

3 words: Classic, sensual, cosy, it also has so much depth, is enveloping and sophisticated in a comforting way. So, I went to the department store and perfume shop and sampled lots of fragrances on blotter cards, this and carner (tardes/ rockstar) Jacques fath (curaçao bay) aerin (hisbiscus palm) plus lots of others bronze goddess fraiche, solar and intense, Chloe love story, idole and more. 20 + fragrances. Wanted more but you know it was starting to get awkward in there ;) ANYWAY, I kept all the samples, obsessively whiffing and sniffing several times throughout the last two days and getting rid of some that faded and I’m down to my last 5 favourites. I was going to write vaniglia off as it seemed just so so when I first sprayed, BUT I held on. This develops into something smouldering and deep and delicious. It’s intoxicating, wow I am genuinely surprised because the more I smell the more I like. This is a keeper I just know. It doesn’t aggravate the sinuses or have any shrill high pitched notes that creep up on you. It delivers. It smoothly and deeply caresses you with a pure but slightly dark sensuous experience. This is a truly good fragrance. Very enveloping, my opinion changed not just slightly but dramatically. This requires time to show its best true colours. I feel they must have used very expensive ingredients because out of all of my testers this one still feels like it hasn’t reached its peak, it’s not fading and feels like it’s still going after two days. The only other fragrance which has developed into something more and has clarity of smell (and I like more too than when I sprayed it, it actually made me feel a bit sick for the first day) is hisbiscus palm. I can now see why people like it. The carner ones and curaçao bay are just starting to fade but held out well. Hisbiscus palm and vaniglia have been well curated and feel like solid complete fragrances that stand the test of time. I have decided to purchase vaniglia and the other 4 in due course. If you like vanilla I really think you can’t go wrong with this, I am so impressed with the luxurious, heavenly and expensive fragrance. It feels like pure unadulterated luxury. It has a lot of depth. I can detect the floral notes and less so the citrus and they add more height and range to the vanilla essence of this fragrance but it’s just so well blended. I can picture a classy woman, in cashmere who has style. Early autumn 🍂 time and winter this is most suited too but could layer this other times to increase longevity of other perfumes. Edit: I went onto their website to check for ingredient list, it contains BHT, which is dangerous and I emailed them (I know this is to help maintain integrity and preserve the fragrance) and got a long email response which was like a politician evading the direct question I asked. So not helpful. They surely must be able to use a more natural preservative. It made me not buy this beautiful scent after all. Such a shame.

God, this is good! An instant love for me 😍 Woody heliotrope vanilla heaven, with a twist of sitrus! A great unisex scent IMO. The opening is more on the masculine side and the drydown leans a bit more feminine. It's quite heavy on the heliotrope, but pulls it off without smelling dated or cloying. My sister douses herself in manifesto from time to time and I didn't think of them as similar, but will certainly have to test them side by side. Vaniglia is very well balanced and the perfect vanilla for me: a bit quirky, not too sweet but still creamy and delicious! Yum! Performance: not sure what to think yet. Usually I can smell a perfume on myself very well, but I think my nose gets used to this. My sister said I smelled great when I had just applied it, a few hours later she had to get really close to smell it, but all of a suddon she said "Oh, I just smelled your perfume! You applied it again!". I hadn't, I had just walked past her, so I guess it doesn't project much except the first hour, but sillage may be better. Seems to last great on clothes.

Very surprised about this one.It doesn't really shout out AdP DNA, and I don't know why it's so under appreciated. I think this fragrance is gorgeous, definitely feminine leaning, but it's gorgeous, tillage and projection are nice and soft. Longevity is a little better than usual you would expect from AdP. To me this is probably my most versatile Fragrance, office, gym, out for a meal, out for a walk, I really can't think of it being out of place in any situation. It is a Vanilla leading frag, but very nice and soft, and just so delightful and as someone else stated; very comforting. I tried Camelia and did not particularly like, I also own Ou from the same family, love it equally, except this one is most definitely feminine leaning. It's one of the very few frags that I *will* buy again when this bottle is finished. I'm tempted to try another one out of this family, but I think the black bottles in this collection appear to be as the bottle indicates slightly darker.

I've been wearing it for a week in cooler fall weather and it has become a clear 'love' for me. The opening is slightly sweet leaning but still quite natural vanilla which in the drydown settles down onto the most cozy fluffy powdery base. Throughout wear I get short soft soapy whiffs - think 5-star hotel soap - as well. This just makes you smell like someone who only bathes and slathers themselves in the most lux body care products. On me it's really the vanilla, the heliotrope and the musk that play off each other in the most beautiful comforting and classy way. Since the days have been getting colder I find myself reaching for it almost daily. Sillage depends on how much you spray. With three sprays I get about an arm's length, which is my personally preferred range. As for longevity, it last throughout the day on me, on my clothes until I next wash them. Solid no-nonsense well-blended and completely unisex pick for the colder months.

I am not an acqua di parma fan. However i have tried this fragance and i love It. I dont know if It really worths the price or if maybe It can be a bit too soft for the money It costs but i know It has a great smell and i know that i could feel It for at least 4-5 hours perfectly and then very close to the skin for 6-8 hours. It is a very soft vanilla, a bit like the plástico dolls smell, delicate and perfect for daytime use. Although It is vanilla i think is elegant and weareable un any situación, even in the formal ones. It is true that the most importante notes are heliotropo, vanilla and neroli. The BEST AdP i have tried till the moment... Scent: 9.5 Longevity: 7.5 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 5 Versatility: 9 Originality: 6 Global: 9
