Allegra Magnifying Vanilla Essence

You are a vanilla lover that wants Vanilla "to stick" ? this is your eternal love. Sillage is like hot glue, once sprayed it's yours, it enters your blood stream and DNA. You breathe vanilla, sweat vanilla, think vanilla, move vanilla. VANILLA LOVE. The price is well worth it, and the intensity and volume of this is insane. Precious liquid gold , no need to waste it, it's a powerhouse. Amazing really, never too sweet, never cloying, just pure, white. This is what the fresh brown sticky pod used in patisserie smells like, when you cut it with a long incision on its lenght and scrape delicately its inside gooey balm with a spoon. this is it ! I use it to layer many other fragrances, when i need depth. On her own is probably a pure love potion. ( especially if you are naked after a shower ) . It is not a perfume, IT'S A MAGNIFYING ESSENCE , a potion ! To be used as such ! I have never had a more amazing frame to use with any other perfume made in history, that does not cover such fragrance, but yet hugs it in a warm embrace elevating it. That's the magic of this.

Very pricey, but i’d say worth it. This is definitely a perfect straight vanilla fragrance, it does however have a slight spice to it, like cinnamon but without smelling like cinnamon. I’m not entirely sure if that makes sense but I do love it, I wish it was slightly longer lasting as when I spray it with other perfumes they seem to over power it, that is until that scent fades away then the bvlgari continues to stick to me.

I fell for a reviewer's description of this as the best vanilla she had EVER smelled & had always been searching for...well it's vanilla but not the best for me. Almost a baking vanilla. The cost is too high for that. Longevity is lacking. I can only wear it layered. They need to make this line more affordable especially for what this is & is NOT. Sample first. 🤨

Allegra Magnifying Vanilla Essence Bvlgari is a sexy, sweet, and candy-like fragrance that is anything but banal. There are more than just vanilla notes at play here, and they're all blended together perfectly. This is a great scent for those who want to feel positive and optimistic.

This is a beautiful pure vanilla scent. It's just vanilla, nothing else. It's a creamy, lactonic, vanilla, perfect for gourmand lovers and non-gourmand lovers. It's absolutely beautiful!! So delicious, and not too overpowering at all. You have to get close to smell it.

I OVERLY LOVE THIS MAGNIFYING VANILLA SO MUCH! It amplifies, as it should, my new signature scent Baciami! I need a lotion that smells exactly like this!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful vanilla, very clean and sophisticated. Very charismatic with white suite. First time wearing this and love it so much.

A lovely vanilla but for 200 bucks you'd have to be crazy. Maybe at around 80 I'd consider.

Yup vanilla extract. Great for vanilla lovers and layering. I love my beautiful bottle.

This smells like vanilla extract w a hint of incense

Light, airy marshmallow fluff! Bought a sample because I heard it smelled like vanilla extract, but I'm not really getting that. Instead, Magnifying Vanilla is a sweet and powdery marshmallow - just like smelling the inside of a bag of marshmallows. Really reminds me of Kyse Delizia di Marshmallow, but without the plastic note. With Kyse, you smell the marshmallows and the plastic bag that they come in, so I much prefer Magnifying Vanilla because it doesn't have the plastic-y smell. Projection is shameful though, nearly non-existent and wears veeery close to the skin. Not worth the price because I can barely smell it. Overall, Magnifying Vanilla is cozy and yummy, slightly gourmand powdery marshmallow scent, but really poor performance.

As the name said it, Vanilla Essence. Nothing else that matters. I expected the longevity to be better for this price, however. (The scent is strong enough to be smelled only for an hour or two then it slowly becomes skin scent which lasts about 12 hrs) Alas. Still a lovely soft vanilla scent it is. Great for layering, as is my purpose for the purchase.

Smells like a vanilla extract. Linear. Also sits close to the skin. It's best for layering with other fragrances versus wearing own its own due to the performance. The bottle is pretty, the price is not. lol.

I blind bought this and I do like it, it's not a love though and I would not repurchase when finished. There are way better vanilla's out there that are way cheaper. It does smell like vanilla frosting.

straight up vanilla! lasted for me around 7 hours, milky by the end of the day. Smells like vanilla bean then blends down to a vanilla type frosting as the day goes on

Vanilla extract but make it more luxurious and in a fancy bottle

The most photorealistic marshmallow scent you'll ever find.

Beautiful powdery vanilla, very powdery tho.

Magnifying Vanilla is a fluffy, creamy vanilla scent. It is sweet but only in the way that vanilla has a sweet character. There is no “added” sugar sweetness, no marshmallow, no praline, and no apricot. In that respect it is pretty amazing. It is expensive, but as far as I can tell there are no other stand-alone vanillas without added notes that will work for layering like MV probably does. It is different from VS Bare Vanilla, and is not a woody or spicy kind of vanilla either. It does not smell much like the Zara vanillas, but it does have the same kind of artificial vanilla character. I tried to compare to Kayali Vanilla 28, but V28 is sweet enough that it did not seem like a fair comparison. MV does not turn into a doll head scent (which I actually like) but it brings to mind play doh or modeling clay. (Magnifying Vanilla is somewhat similar to the vanilla in the dry down of the new LVEB Vanille Nude. I tested them a day apart and was surprised. LVEB has a lot more going on, so it is not really a fair comparison, though.) I wanted to like this because it was just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I wanted something to layer with spicy fragrances and this is not it. Six hour test on fabric and it could easily have gone longer. The small amount I got on my hand disappeared after about two hours, but it was far from a full spray and I washed my hands at least once. Edit: I did not mention that MV is not of the same caliber of vanilla found in Guerlain, Dior, YSL, or even Tom Ford. It’s just not. There is no way this is vanilla CO2, but it could be partially vanilla absolute combined ethylvanillin. I am being generous. There are definitely better ethylvanillins out there but they are usually very sugary. Based on the unexpected similarity to LVEB Vanille Nude dry down, I suspect that there is a relatively new fixative aromachemical used in both. I liked it but I have no idea what it is.

Very simple linear vanilla, nothing you haven’t smelled before. What is the most disappointing is the poor projection and longevity. I understand it is for layering, but at this price I still expected decent performance. Got it on sale with deep discount just for the bottle, the juice is really not worth it!
