Fantasmagory

I bought this perfume and I can say it's absolute worth it for me becouse this is the most delicious almond-creamy vanille frag out there! Some way it's reminds me of Tom Ford Soleil Blanc becouse of some ethereal salty- nutty note (it's called here almond, in Soleil Blanc it's the pistaccio.) But in Fantasmagoy instead of coconut- vanille is a very smooth and elegant creamy- vanille! I dont know Poison but Fantasmagory is definetely absolute not similar to Vanille Powder extr. There is nothing coconut here but is VPE is lots of...So if you have some good vanille-almond, go for it. Unisex in the feminin side but on a man can easily be very good too. UPDATE: I was wearing it last week from day to day and I can say it' s the most beautifule vanile theme parfune in my collection. It goes sooo very well vith that creamy-nutty almond accord hmmm...sometimes I get a litte saltyness-never too cloying, it's a dream. But now I can't imagine on a man. It is for me an absolute feminin frag. If you would like to have the beautiest vanille - go for it. Spare some money and buy it, you won't regret it.

I disagree that this for for the ladies. Its a beautifuly blended unisex scent. If youre a man who can rock vanilla diorama (or really any vanilla scent) This is for you. Longevity is eternal. Has a great scent bubble and trail. The ginger in the opening adds a nice sparke and the almond adds some nuttiness that stopes it from being 100% vanilla or "too feminine. " Dont hear what im not saying. This IS a vanilla scent. And at that it's the best vanilla ive ever smelled, truly a masterpiece and fantasmagory manages that without being headache inducing. Downside is that its not very intresting and its pretty linear. Some tobacco or brandy would be nice to give it a bit more depth- and at the price im hesitant to layer it. Speaking of which, its expensive - but that goes without saying- if youre ok with buying symphony or the other extraits at this price, then this will not be an issue as its the best of the line, but, if youre put off by the idea of spending $600+ , then walk away. That being said. 9/10 fragrance (0.5 point deducted for being linear, 0.5 point deducted for price)

This smells REALLY good to me. Is “really good” a justification to spend $600+ on a fragrance? I can only speak for myself, and the answer is “probably”. The scent itself is one of the smoothest vanillas I’ve smelled, regardless of designer/niche, or considering the price. There’s some underlying spiciness with gives it a little bite, and you get the almond pretty quick in the opening followed by florals which last a while along with the vanilla. Lasts a lot longer than people are saying, and has moderate projection. Leans feminine but can easily be pulled off by a guy. It’s on the same tier as Symphony in terms of quality, which is impressive to me. I think people get way too hung up on what a fragrance SHOULD smell like for $____ because they’ve smelled good (or subjectively better) things that cost less. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this smelled and how long it lasted based on the negative reviews I’ve seen on here. Do yourself a favor and buy a sample like I did so you can judge for yourself

Very unisex airy almond and vanilla. Amazing versatility, very mass appealing, etc. Only issue is for the price it is very very simple. Thats not in itself is not bad but, I feel like the quality of the scent while good is not 600 dollars worth good. Also the scent itself is pretty easily duped (PC's Dulzura Vanilla Envie, or Bharara's/Mast's Rome Fantasmagory to name a couple, Rome Fantasmagory in particular imo is better than the og in terms of every metric especiallyon my skin) or simply the scent is made redundant by other similar frags like Pegasus, Hypnotic Poison, etc which while they are all very much distict enough that anyone could say which is which, they have just enough similarity to the point where one couldn't justify spending the coin on this over them. LV did at the end of the day cook a bit, but they made a cheeseburger instead lf something we haven't even heard of before. Which is par for the course for them although I will say Attrape-Reves and Ombre Nomade are interesting.

İt smells soo similar to hypnotic poison but the ginger just hits different.İts warm and cozy but also sexy and distant at the same time.İt's not like the other regular gourmand vanilla scents,its spicy &sexy.Definitely a cold night scent.İt smells like inside of a very expensive makeup bag for me but you can get hypnotic poison with a very similar scent profile for much less price but it smells amazing for me and its literally eternal.İt just sticks to the skin.The quality is amazing.But the leather note gives off a bad smell from underneath,Maybe I'll buy it again when I finish the current one 8/10.

This smells like Babycat, but it's lighter and less animalic. After fifteen to twenty minutes, the scent bubble morphs into a smooth, airy vanilla, and the leather and almond mingle and become less pungent. I just received mine, hoping to be able to wear it in hot weather, but I am going to let it macerate for several weeks and try it again in early autumn when it should be absolutely beautiful. This is a sophisticated, grown-up fragrance. Very rich and sexy, feminine and alluring.

O kadar benlik bir koku ki bayıldım 💕. Tatlı, bulutsu, gurme, vanilyalı, lezzetli bir koku. Sanki birazcık sütlü fındıklı çikolatamsı bir kokusu da var; ama daha çok bulutumsu bir vanilya kokuyor. ÇOK GÜZEL. Vanilla powder'la sweet tooth'u seviyorsanız eminim bunu da seversiniz. Çünkü bu koku ikisinden de izler taşıyor, sanki iki parfümün çocuğu olsa bu parfüm olurmuş gibi. Severek kullanacağıma eminim.

I honestly really like this one. The opening is quite harsh, but after the dry down, it turns into a really nice vanilla. Really feminine however, be aware. Reminds me a lot of vanilla powder edp/extrait and angel dust. I wouldn't say this is worth the money, but I really get where lv went with this one. It lasts really long, around 10 hours with amazing projection. Not as bad as people say. 8/10

Update review - I got a 10ml of this stuff in a trade. And it is genuinely a masterpiece. Everything about this scent is perfect, and I honestly prefer it a smidge over symphony (as someone who has used over 50mls of it) Fantasmagory is phenomenal. Really recommend this to anyone looking for a huge winter hitter. Projects and lasts eternally, 12+ hours with insane projection. 9.2/10

100% femnine, its gorgeous when your wife or your girlfriend wearing this one but its Very Very expensive for Vanilla Gourmand scent i testing this one for 3 days, smells good and fancy, high quality and performance, imagine small piece of leather inside vanilla and almonds.. but if anyone love Vanilla save your money and buy Ani Nishane not same but for your money

One of the most radiant and refined vanilla perfumes — a scent that opens with a soft, creamy touch and settles into a silky, delicate vanilla. It carries a dreamy aura, embodying the “fantasmagory” of vanilla’s new form. Its longevity is beautiful and deeply intimate, especially in that space between the neck and the shoulder.

Excellent blend of vanilla and almond. it's not that sweet and even we can say it's boozy. someone compare it with pegasus but it's much more sophisticated and not metallic. much more wearable as we can expect from LV.

My first impression: to me this is a soft vanilla and almond fragrance. A bit like Dior’s Hypnotic Poison or Confetto from Profumum Roma. Warm, soft and elegant.

Smells really good to me. People are hating for no reason. Smell alone is good. It's the price that makes people turn away.

Vanila for rich. It's expensive but the scent is what the worth of it.

This is really nice. It’s so chic and adult vanilla. I really like it

I received a sample of Fantasmagory yesterday. It leans feminine and youthful. It is light, airy and ... pretty. A very linear, soft and delicate vanilla. It is not overly sweet or synthetic. It is very pleasant, but I do not like it as much as several other vanilla based fragrances such as Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille, Guerlain Vanille Planofolia Extrait, Guerlain Angelique Noire, Blndgrphy Vanilla Mudslide, Givenchy Enflamme, Les Eaux Primordiales Vanille Supermassive, or even Kayali Vanilla 28, which only costs $138.00 for 100 ml at full retail. You can buy four $138.00 100 ml bottles and a $29.00 10 mm travel spray of the fantastic Vanilla 28 for less money than one 100 ml bottle of Fantasmagory. And Vanilla 28 is significantly better. Fantasmagory wears very close to the skin. Longevity is excellent, but projection and sillage are below average, especially for an extrait. I am male and I wear a wide range of fragrances. I have 20+ feminine targeted fragrances but Fantasmagory is just a bit too feminine, immature and even a bit boring for me. When I first sprayed it, I anticipated that I would be thinking, "is it ok for me or is it only for my wife?" But as the pleasant, youthful scent hit my nose, I immediately said, "oh that’s a surprise, it’s for my daughter." I do think a guy can definitely wear Fantasmagory, it would just have to be the right guy in the right situation. It is not a deep, thick, rich, spicy, smoky, Oriental, or ambery vanilla. It is a light, airy, sweet, clean and bright vanilla. It makes me think of rock candy or the sugary clear sweet crystals on top of pastries and cookies. Think of a sweet almondy cookie with tiny crunchy sugar crystals sprinkled on top. If I had to compare it to anything, it would be Reserve En Afrique 1934 Vanille Mafonja. I expected to buy a bottle of Fantasmagory, but after wearing it all day and evening Tuesday, I am not planning on buying it. It is not bad, it is fairly good. But fairly good is just not good enough, especially at this price point. I urge you to definitely sample it before considering a purchase. I don’t think Fantasmagory is blind buy safe for anyone. I love Louis Vuitton fragrances and honestly I was tempted to blind buy it. Thank goodness I knew that a sample was already on its way when I saw that Fantasmagory was for sale on the US Louis Vuitton website Monday night (it was available for about 8 hours and then it was updated to unavailable / sold out). I am really looking forward to Ambre Levant. I think Fantasmagory could be fantastic layered with an Oriental, Gourmande, or Amber fragrance ... maybe with Ambre Levant. Or maybe I will layer my Ambre Levant with Kayali's Vanilla 28. 6/10 and a Fragrantica score of 3.85 from me.

I’ve had my decant for a few months now and have worn Fantasmagory several times. I stand by my original thoughts that this is a sweet, soft almond vanilla best suited to mild weather. It’s light wearing, very airy and wispy. While it lasts a decent amount of time on my skin (around 7 hours), it feels like a skin scent relatively quickly. I catch hints of it in the air as I move around, but they’re faint. I don’t think people are going noseblind to this- this wears differently in different conditions. I can smell it on myself (and get compliments) when I’m indoors in a controlled environment. But, if I wear it while out and about, it gets lost. It leaves a very faint scent on my clothes after wearing. This is so smooth and the sweetness is extremely well balanced. I very much enjoy this scent; it’s one of the more elegantly composed vanillas I’ve tried. I wish it had more heft and body. I could buy both VP21 and Fantasmagory to layer and still come out around the same price as Lost in Paris... It seems so reasonably priced now! 🤭

I got a sample from my SA before it’s released. Fantasmagory is an airy, light, easy going vanilla better suited to warm weather. I got some almond in the opening but very little ginger. I can’t pick out individual floral notes, but the texture is *slightly* powdery so maybe the floral is something like heliotrope. If there’s leather, it’s soft and suede-y, but I can’t really find it. On my skin it’s just super soft vanilla with a hint of almond. Very linear like most LVs. This is extremely light wearing- very little projection, a skin scent after 3 hours. I actually really enjoy the smell of this fragrance, but it’s so soft on my skin. There’s a fine line between elegant and understated and too light. This rides that line. It smells like I put on MoV La Fenice pour femme or THOO Ruby Red and then washed it off. Now I understand the name... Fantasma is ghost in Spanish and this is a wispy ghost of vanilla. Update: This did not last well on my clothes, very faint.

This is a much softer interpretation of Vanilla Powder Extrait, with a noticeably heavier emphasis on vanilla. To my nose, it isn’t particularly close to the original Vanilla Powder, which comes across as much harsher and more aggressive. The longevity is very good, and it wears beautifully over time. The price, however, is difficult to justify on performance alone—you’re largely paying for the name. That said, I do find myself wanting a full bottle. I love the presentation, especially the bottle and cap, and overall this is a more wearable and enjoyable take for those who prefer a smoother Vanilla Powder.
