Van Exstasyx

Instant LOVE. Got my sample today &.ordered a bottle within an hour. Would love to find this in a 100ml. VE smells like a nice vanilla candle from the mid 90s to me but in the BEST possible way. VE is definitely one of those scents from childhood. I want to drown in this. Seems to have great longevity and decent projection.. You're just evil if you don't like this one 🤣 It's beautiful soft but long lasting. So.Freaking.Good. I'm not even disappointed that I don't detect oud in this (originally got the sample thinking I'd find a heavy oud & vanilla scent) this is probably my favorite vanilla in my entire collection now, truly 💕 VE has me very intrigued about the rest of this house. Update-. Now that my.full bottle has arrived I do detect a tiny bit of oud.way in the background. Super happy. Cant wait to try Py Rhum & Sugar kisses. ****Don't listen to the ppl below who say they smell chocolate obviously their noses are broken. Ridiculous opinions and ppl just wanting to hate bc they know so many love this one.

Oh my gosh I just cannot get over how good this is!! I blind bought Van Exstasyx after seeing that there are seven vanillas in this perfume and I SO glad I did!! I am a vanilla lover and Van Exstasyx delivers! I get creamy vanilla with a syrupy caramel, and a little bit of a chocolate nuance. I also see that there is an oud note listed but I am not familiar with oud as this is my only perfume with that note, but maybe that is what is giving that chocolate nuance? Van Exstasyx lasts 12+ hours on me and it's even more delicious and creamy as it dries down! For reference my favorite vanilla perfumes are Escapade Gourmande, Epico Vani Charnel, and Jousset Accident a la Vanille to name a few. I would say that this is a very safe blind buy if you love the vanillas I mentioned, but it never hurts to sample first. Van Exstasyx is not like any of the other vanillas in my collection as it's more of a darker vanilla, but it's absolutely delicious, and I HIGHLY recommend!

I decided 2026 is the year I finally check out some Lorenzo Pazzaglia fragrances, and so far I'm enjoying pretty much all the 7 samples I ordered, with Speachless and Sugar Kisses being top favorites SO far! I adored Van Exstastyx the moment I smelled it because it gave me 100% Betty Crocker Vanilla Frosting and -- being a child of the 80's -- made me ever so happy! I haven't smelled Montale's Vanille Absolu but I have tested Bianco Latte and Kayalli and I find this version of vanilla the most satisfying of those -- it's sugary sweet without being nauseating; it manages to perfectly satiate the sweet tooth (for those of us that have one) with a strong, rich, creamy vanilla. There's a charming hint of chocolate that comes through and I find this whole concoction utterly divine. Will have to report back on longevity and do more comparisons to see how this compares to my other favorite vanilla -- Jeroboam's Insulo. So far, though, this one's a love!

Wow. Where do I start with this one? The fact that it's definitely a cold weather wear scent & it's the middle of the hottest August in *ever*? Still, I had to spray it. The thrill of acquisition & all. It's sweet, it's extrait, it's vanilla of every facet. Then in 15 minutes the even sweeter caramel drizzle comes up. Just a snap of floral... jasmine? Then it's a long lazy slide into the dryish woody oud & just enuff tonka to recognize. Not skanky at all, BUT... easy on that trigger. It would be real easy to smother people if you're not careful. I'll plan two sprays for cool days, three for at home to indulge & four sprays for an outside event in cold weather. I got a strong 8 hours & a comfy scent bubble to hour 12. This was made for hugging & I can't wait to give it a run on the first cold snap. I would not wear this to a formal occasion, as it's a showstopper. Unless you want ALL the attention. I love it. This will age well.

I've got a partial bottle of this and I'm very happy I did. It smells great but is way overpriced and I cannot see my self wanting this enough, over much cheaper vanilla options, to get a full bottle. It's a great simple sweet vanilla perfume with a specific airy artificial sillage that reminds me of scented dolls and seceted stationery items from my childhood, such as scented pens, erasers, journals, etc. As a very sweet vanilla with chocolate undertones, It bears some resemblance to choco musk oil as well. It's very oily on the skin but that doesn't mean beastmode. It's a very average fragrance in terms of performance. Would I recommend it? If you're a gourmand lover, get a sample. Otherwise, I think you can skip it. It's very confusing for me, because now I'm doubting my decision to get Van Py Rhum... I intended to get a full bottle of that. I would appreciate it if people who tested both would chime in.
