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

This fragrances starts with a neroli infused with natural smelling non sweet vanilla. As this fragrance dries down the heliotrope makes the vanilla denser an denser somewhat like a suncream (not suncream smelling) but so natural. It smells just dense and warm, like vanilla pudding but natural. This is just Unisex because it lacks both the harshness you usually meet in a man fragrance and the sweetness you have in a female fragrance. If you are a male and wearing this people will think it's a men's fragrance, if you are a woman they'll think it's a women's fragrance. There is nothing synthetic about this fragrance. I don't want to say it's either good or bad, because everyone has his tastes, you'll be the one to decide.

Vaniglia by Acqua di Parma was love a first sniff! Not your usual gourmand vanilla. This starts with a fresh blast of neroli, bergamot and heliotrope, plus vanilla, which is always present (I can't smell the mandarin). The heliotrope gives Vaniglia a cool vibe, making it different from other vanillas. During the dry down, cedar and musk become present, but the vanilla and heliotrope continue their presence, and the scent become slightly powdery. Vaniglia has great longevity on my skin, more than 7 h and radiates moderately. This is very well blended and makes a great office scent. Elegant, classy, well balanced, high quality vanilla scent. Unisex. This is very good!

Love this. The opening is quite woody; the vanilla notes begin surfacing little by little after a few minutes. It's not pure vanilla, of course; there's something slightly floral about this. Anyway, this is a very intimate, cozy, gourmand scent; it just irradiates comfort for me. Like an artesanal vanilla muffin that just came out of the oven. Projection is nothing to write home about; it works inside your personal space for the most part. Longevity is a good 7-8 hours. It's a unisex fragrance for me, maybe leaning a bit more toward the feminine side. Great for the colder days or nights that you want to spend cuddling with your partner.

This is really nice but very expensive, almost prohibitively so. It's a green, powdery vanilla that's sweet but not overly so and not cloying at all like some vanillas can be. I actually thought this was too mature for me at first (my boyfriend said it smelled like something his mum would wear) but I don't think that anymore, it's classy and chic and I feel very grown up wearing it. Unfortuunately, as mentioned, it also has a very grown up price tag attached to it so would only buy if I got a great deal on it.

This is not what you expect from the name of it! This perfume is a fresh neroli-heliotrope-white musk scent on a vanilla base. After 3 hours the dry down gets a bit sweeter. Longevity is great, sillage is awesome for the first hour, then it gradually softens to become a skin scent eventually. Borderline gourmand but not quite. On the fresher sweeter side but definitely not cloying. I pair it with YSL Magnificent Gold, to tone down the oud in MG and make it wearable for summertime.

This. This is a surprise. The heliotrope is soooooo Good. It’s very forward in the opening. Then the neroli.THEN the jasmine and vanilla. The dry down adds some mandarin, but not too much this is not incredibly citrusy like most ADP fragrances. I’m still getting the heliotrope throughout! It doesn’t have great longevity but I overspray because I love it. I spray it on my cashmere sweaters and scarves and it lasts forever! I would love this on a man. I feel this is truly unisex.

This fragrance smells like warm vanilla in the best way possible. Whenever you go, it’ll smell like a vanilla cookie fresh out of the oven. Smells forever (I can sometimes still smell it when I shower the next day) and it is strong enough to perfume the whole room or car during the first few hours of wearing it. The only time wearing it is bad is during a hot summer day because it might give you a headache, but it is perfect for every other time! It's a solid 9/10 from me!

simply for vanilla lovers, I have tried quite a few from this House but most suffer from longevity issues. this is better. i am not sure on the price tag but if you love Vanilla, musk, heliotrope and jasmine, you should try it. smells heavenly on ladies. cozy and personal, intimate sessions this will be a win, i LOIKE ;) 8.5/10 ps. if you love this and want a beast.. get mancera Holidays. tom ford soleil blanc is similar too

This was an instant full bottle worthy purchase for me. That initial blast of Mediterranean freshness contrasted with the marzipan-like sweetness of the heliotrope that gently melts into a creamy, slightly green, jasmine and raw vanilla extract. Exquisite to say the least. Uncommon opinion which I haven’t seen shared anywhere, but this is like the original Joop! Homme all grown up, clean shaven, and understatedly dashing.

The Shop assistant describe it as a "bitter vanilla" and I agree with him. What a balanced combination!!! The whole line it's wonderful, I couldn't choose, fortunately for me it's far off what I'll pay for fragrances :) For me, it's all unisex. If you like it, wear it, I say!!! Boys, I know for you it's difficult, but you can look at it, this way: you wanna attract women? Smell of what women like

Intense heliotrope vanilla centered scent, I know it is not in the notes pyramid according to Fragrantica, but I smell leather and benzoin in this. Actually this makes me think of a niche type of Shalimar.. Unisex. Very sexy. Projection is ok in the first 2-3 hours then it becomes a skin scent. Perfect for night dates..

A gorgeous blend of heliotrope and vanilla. My first impression was that it was boring and plain, but getting to know it more the beauty of it emerged. Very clean, a bit powdery and light. Maybe a tiny bit soapy, I don't know how to describe it properly.

The best vanilla scent in the world! It's not just plain vanilla, it’s a wonderfully complex, sweet delight. Does anyone know where I can repurchase this? I bought it on holiday in Italy, but I can't find it anywhere since.

alt note: decant, again. vanilla soap that you wanted to eat as a kid. i like it but it didn't intrigue me that much. update: went fom a like to a love because of the heliotrope. whoa. melancholic powder. actually so cute.

Soapy deep vanilla, it is very nice.. it is a lot heavier than eau duelle for instance, more powdery. In regards to vanilla fragrances, eau duelle is still the winner in my opinion. That aside, this a great fragrance!
