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.

Interesting...when I put my nose to my hand I can barely smell vanilla but I do get soft cocoa powder. However in my scent bubble I smell soft & sweet vanilla, caramel & chocolate cocoa puffs. *On my skin* it’s a stronger, less powdery & lactonic version of Bianco Latte with added sweetness & chocolate nuances. This fragrance takes me on a journey... it’s super sweet warm gooey vanilla one second & then I smell soft powdery white chocolate the next & the fragrance dance repeats. Van Exstasyx has a soft & sensual sillage with moderate projection & longevity. Please test before buying! At first I did not like the opening at all but wait about 10-15 minutes & you will see that’s when the magic happens! If you didn’t like Bianco Latte because it was too powdery and lactonic definitely try this one! This one is teasing my senses & I think I really like it but not sure if it’s full bottle worthy for me!

I bought my 50 ml bottle of Van Exstasyx in a perfume shop called Alé Parfum in Rome, Italy. Lovely lady works there. I only spoke English, and she only Italian, but we still could understand each other and connect over testing different scents together in the shop. This is a very cloudy, sweet vanilla fragrance without being sickening or cloying. It stays on my clothes for days, but sadly on my skin (at least) it's only an intimate skin scent. It does not project well on me, is my experience, but then again I haven't asked people if I leave a vanilla scent trail behind me. This perfume hasn't been a compliment getter for me, but definitely comforting; it feels absolutely luxurious when you spray it. I'm just afraid it's overpriced, so I may not be repurchasing this. If it had had better projection, then I definitely would have stocked up on bottles because of how delicious this is!

I confess :I started with many preconceptions about this fragrance, not particularly loving vanilla .I expected the usual cloying sweetness, but I had to imagine, knowing the creator of this perfume, that I would have been pleasantly surprised and amazed. I compare Van Extasyx to an abstract painting: many people could say that it is easy to paint it, but combining colors and concepts masterfully is not for everyone, on the contrary, it is extremely complicated.Lorenzo Pazzaglia has managed to balance and get the best out of each not and created a perfect combination, a very pleasant vanilla flavour, not excessively sweet, supported by elements that enhance the various vanillas and make them a surprising work of art. This is the only perfume of this family that I wear with pleasure and it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, it makes me feel classy and feminine.

The chef-d'oeuvre of vanillas. Van Exstasyx is very much in the gourmand category, but in a grown & sophisticated way. It's characterized by its richness and devotion to vanilla rather than its sweetness or similarity to dessert. As someone that has previously owned and outgrown Escapade Gourmande & Bianco Latte, I find this to be a more timeless choice. This and Fire At Will, my lighter vanilla, are permanent fixtures in my collection--it's that good. When I initially tried it, I did get the chocolate-y vibe as I've seen many others mention. But I think this simply comes down to the inclusion of oud & caramel. They lend the fragrance depth, darkness, and a lightly 'roasted' quality. She's sweet without being headache-inducing and has character. Divine.

The longer you wear this, the more it continues to transform. It starts off smelling similar to Ovaltine chocolate powder with the first application, which was actually enjoyable in its own way. It then started getting a bit synthetic and weird, making you think for a little while that it would fade out into some weird fake-chocolate smell that barely remained. It then became a very sweet, thick vanilla, getting warmer and stronger with continued wear. I could definitely see it overwhelming some, especially considering I barely had any on, but it never stopped smelling so delicious. It was definitely reminiscent of Kyse's Delizia Di Marshmallow, except without the extra kick of sugar crystals and syrup.

This is vanilla ice cream that they serve in a restaurant with one (or more) Michelin stars. Hand churned, made with real cream. Only the finest vanilla extract and the caviar/beads scraped from vanilla pods. Drizzled with an ever-so-slightly boozy caramel sauce. The plate is adorned with a beautiful and edible vanilla orchid bloom. Sweet without being overly so. Rich, creamy, indulgent, but without ever feeling heavy. Great and long lasting performance. Femenine leaning, ideal for colder weather. A delicious, mouthwatering, cozy, comforting treat. 👍

On first spray it smells exactly like Irish liquor (Baileys) for a few minutes, then dries down to what I thought smelled identical to the car scent Little Trees Vanillaroma (lol) which is not a bad thing, I love those things! But as it continues to dry down it turns into a deeper more complex vanilla. I do not find this fragrance at all cloying, but I adore super sweet perfumes/gourmands. I think this is good for all year round imo, and it is definitely added to the full bottle list to purchase! It is quite pricey but I think totally worth it.

Van Exstasyx is a beautiful warm and creamy vanilla. I definitely get the Oud and Tonka. And the florals are far in the background. It’s sweet but I don’t find it cloying at all. It’s more of a dark vanilla on my skin. To me this is a more unique vanilla and isn’t very similar to the fragrances in the “reminds me of” section. I think it stands completely on its own. Most vanillas I can wear year round but this one is better suited for the colder months for me since the Oud is quite prominent. I really like this one!

This is it. This is the beautiful holy grail vanilla I’ve been searching for! I thought I found it in Mazzolari Vaniglia, but performance was an issue. Then, Bianco Latte came along and I thought I had found heaven. Nope, no. This is so thick and rich in vanilla that my eyes literally roll back when I smell it. Lawd have mercy! I tried Dua’s clone and it was not worthy of this gem... the original just has too many subtle nuances that simply cannot be replicated. FB worthy immediately!

Here too we are faced with a super vanilla-flavored Lorenzo Pazzaglia style. A fragrance that winks at the female universe, with these sweet and very sensual vanillas that work in perfect symbiosis to create a truly exquisite, almost gourmand perfume but never exaggerated as it does not tend to become cloying. On a girl / woman is a wonder I recommend it if you are looking for an almost absolute vanilla! As always, LORENZO has accustomed us to superrr projection, wake and duration!

We’ve come back from the buzzing summer fields dizzy with scarlet stained lips and daisy chains. Getting heady and feeling delectable. It is a fragrance to take a huge heaving sigh of in the space between the collar bone and the neck. I get a dark berry nuance on my skin, which I am obsessed with. It mellows and shifts over the day but stays smelling expensive. I feel like you could layer this with a cherry fragrance for something evocative of a rich black forest gateau.

I have been on a hunt for fragrances that smell like pure cocoa butter. Although this doesn’t smell particularly like Palmer’s cocoa butter, it layers well with anything from the Palmer’s cocoa butter line. This scent smells EXACTLY like tootsie rolls! It lasts so long on skin and even longer on clothing. I have this and Sugar Kisses. I do think that owning both is quite redundant, but the way I have been on my cocoa butter craze this winter... the more the merrier lol

Very similar to Van Py Rhum: the thickest, richest, moistest chocolate cake, a perfect intermingling of creamy vanilla and dark chocolatey patchouli with a boozy undertone of rum caramel. Van Exstasyx exchanges its sibling's booziness for a smidge of extra cocoa powder dusted over the top of this lush devil's food cake with vanilla icing. Moderately strong projection for 4-5hr, longevity 16hr+.

One of the most Powerful vanillas in my collection .There is warm vanilla,cold vanilla,dark vanilla,bright vanilla. This is a beautifully beast vanilla , and gets even stronger with age . I wouldn’t consider this a full gourmand vanilla . This is more of gourmand leaning vanilla that is balanced by the nuances of white flowers and tonka . As far as performance 10/10. Take notes TF vanilla Sex !

Smells like your grandmas famous cookies/vanilla cake (on paper). The vanilla is very prominent of course but I also get that sweetness from the caramel and tonka bean that grounds the scent. Can see it being unisex but leaning feminine due to how sweet it is. Overall a successful blind buy, can’t wait to wear this when the weather gets colder
