Vaniglia

There is a lot more going on in Vaniglia than just plain vanilla. It starts with soapy myrrh and a hint of green spiciness, which I think to be anise. With drying down it develops a cozy creamy milkiness with an overall sweet but airy vanilla on top. Very lovely, there is nothing sticky, or sickeningly sweet about this Vanilla and it doesn't strike me as childish or a sprayable candy bar. Fit for most seasons if you skip the hottest summer days, nice for going out for a coffee with friends, a trip to the movies or curling up with a cup of tea and book on the sofa. Longevity is good, sillage is moderate too unless you use a lot or combine it with the lotion, L'Erbolario offers a range of body products with this scent. Sometimes the easiest things in life are best, I consider Vaniglia easy and awesome :-)

This was a blind buy as I'm a big fan of l'erbolario and I love their argan perfume, which is in fact my signature scent. This is a unique vanilla scent. It's sweet but not gourmand. The opening is quite fresh, soapy and clean while being sweet and warm at the same time. It's quite pleasant. It smells like wearing a vanilla fragrance on top of fresh laundered clothes, or like a vanilla scented bar soap. It also smells like a vanilla candle would: it reminds me of a vanilla candle from Carthusia I used to have as a teenager. This makes it very nostalgic for me. It has an old school quality to it, almost like something you could find on a vintage vanity table. Really pretty and wearable. Definitely inoffensive - you won't smell like a dessert or like a teenage girl. It's mature but not old. Perfect if you enjoy vanilla but don't want to smell like you're wearing something from Victoria's Secret. As time goes by, it loses that clean and soapy quality and it becomes more exotic, almost incense-y, and slightly reminds of an oriental market. Lasts a long time on the skin. I first tested this on my hands and the smell didn't go away by washing them multiple times, and not even after applying some hand lotion with a different scent - the fragrance was piercing through the layer of lotion and was still noticeable. It lasts forever, but sillage is quite intimate. You will catch some whiff of it here and there, but I'm not sure others can smell this on you, unless they hug you. The packaging is simple but really pretty - I adore the vintage-style picture on the label.

This is a nice layering vanilla. It works well with their coconut fragrance. Extends the longevity if you layer them together. This is quite musky, a bit sweet, a tad fruity and a deep very balsamic vanilla. I don't get the soapiness that others are talking about. It really smells filled with real Bourbon vanilla that I use in my baking but surrounded by myrrh and a bit of powdered heliotrope and a touch of strawberry extract. Cozy. My husband thinks this is sexy. I may pick up a FB. This is not like Molinard Vanilla at all. That is more of a pudding mix foody vanilla. L'Erbolario vanilla is more complex and balsamic.

Ne ho tre boccette, una degli anni 80,una del 2000 e una del 2020. Se la cava bene,anche la versione più recente nonostante si senta più annacquata non è male. Questo profumo ha una consistenza strana,inizialmente sembra acquoso,poco intenso. Invece dalla pelle durante il giorno escono dei soffi costanti di una dolce vaniglia imbrunita,calda,voluttuosa,sfumata di mandorla,quasi rum,veramente bella. In estate la preferisco. La versione moderna ha note un po diverse da quelle elencate qui, la mirra,il limone e la fragola non ci sono,c'è molto più mandorlo,vaniglia bruna e qualcos'altro.

If you like slightly spicy vanilla perfumes this is it, although when first sprayed it has a harsh alcohol smell it does dry down to a nice vanilla scent ^^
