Vaniglia

So, I've been sampling (and blind buying) many different vanilla-centric fragrances. I want to alternate fragrances and be able to afford some of my favorite vanilla fragrances with less pricey options. I like to liberally apply fragrance at bedtime, as well as when I go out, or course. I find certain fragrances aid my ability to fall off to sleep and remain asleep throughout the night. OMG...so this beautiful fragrance is EXTREMELY different from many of the other vanilla fragrances I've sampled and/or purchased. I won't bother listing all the fragrances because there are so many. But Vaniglia reminds me of one of my favorites, Jovoy "Fire At Will." I think the genius addition of orchid to Vaniglia reminds me of the mimosa in Fire At Will. There is something about the simple addition of a gentle flower in vanilla fragrances that takes the fragrance in a very unique, non-gourmand direction. I find that "direction" irresistible. I do love my straight-up, delicious, bakery-vanilla fragrances. However, I do not detect much caramel in Vaniglia. With that said, I also I love the more ethereal, vegetal, earthy smelling vanilla fragrances-the ones like Vaniglia. At this price point, I just wish Vaniglia performed a bit better. This fragrance plays close to the skin and longevity is minimal (2-3 hours). All-in-all, Vaniglia is a very beautiful, feminine, floral-vanilla fragrance. Love it! EDITED TO ADD: Before purchasing a very expensive full-bottle, I wish I knew how OILY this EdP feels when applied. I understand the extremely high essential-oil content in Mazzolari Perfumes. But this fragrance's oiliness makes it nearly impossible to wear the perfume. It's uncomfortable. Sad. EDITED TO ADD: It's nearly March 2025 and I received my full-bottle today. Must say I do LOVE this fragrance. To my nose, Vaniglia is almost identical to Ligne St Barth "Vanille West Indies," which I also own a full-bottle of and love. I'd say Vaniglia is a bit "drier," almost a tad-bit smoky and a wee-bit less sweet than Vanille West Indies. However, with the lovely addition of orchid flower to both, the two are nearly identical. Love love love this fragrance.

What can I say? Like so many, I was on a vanilla quest. I sampled many but this one stuck. Yes, it helped that I could get 100mls for the same price as others that would give me half that, but it was more than that that brought me to my purchase of this. I love caramel as a note. It's not strongly caramel-y here but it adds weight to the vanilla, just a little bit. And the orchid does add a floral vibe to the otherwise pure gourmand juice. Of course this is sweet and of course it is fluffy vanilla about to be made into a cake but the three notes together make it its own and just slightly different than others I smelled. I do mostly wear it at home when I'm with my family cuddled up and home for the night. Or I layer it with a floral scent that needs something sweet to add interest and femininity to it. This perfume last around six hours on me and radiates to arms length. When I spray one last time before getting into bed, I can still smell it in the morning and it stays on my bathrobe for days, which I enjoy. The real success for me, out of all the factors though, has to be that my kids adore this smell on me. Each and every time I wear it they exclaim "oh mom you smell amazing!" and I'm sure to get a few more hugs than usual too! That in and of itself makes this a winner for me and puts this into the priceless category meaning I will replace my bottle whenever it runs dry. I'm happy to know there are already memories in the making!

This smells like real vanilla, indulgent, sugary sweet and so soft. Like a summer breeze transporting with her the scent of happiness and carefree youth. Not that people my age can’t wear this but it literally smells like cupcakes so it does have a certain youthful quality to it. Each time I wear it, my husband says I smell like cupcakes that were just pulled out of the oven >___< I have gotten many compliments from family, friends and even strangers chasing me to ask what I am wearing!! I think this can be worn year round and that it can be layered with many other scents. I have layered this with Manakara from Indult and it smells amazing. I also layer it with Atelier des Ors Chœur des Anges for an added Summertime dimension... I’ll have to try it with other perfumes for the Fall/Winter but for now, I am just super happy to have finally acquired this little gem! It’s absolutely wonderful and Full Bottle Worthy!! Even worth getting backup bottles, honestly. If you love Vanilla, this one is an absolute must, worthy of all the praise and compliments!

Yes!! This is so GOOD!! I have been on a vanilla kick lately (I have been missing out all these years because I have discovered some good vanillas!) and have been looking for a longer lasting, sweet sugar cookie vanilla and this is it! There is something about the way the orchid, vanilla, and caramel harmonize that makes this fragrance absolutely stunning. I already own St Barth Vanille West Indies, which Vaniglia is super close in scent to (same notes, and they are both very oily too), and I like it, but for some reason Vanille West Indies doesn't seem to last longer than a few hours on me to where I can smell it without trying because it sits super close to the skin on me. I read reviews that Vaniglia has more of a scent bubble and it does! And it's a better value than VWI too because you get more for a lesser price. I will keep using VWI but will not repurchase since I have Vaniglia and it has better performance on me and smells almost identical to me. I also love the simplicity of the bottle, it looks so good on my vanity!

This is pure bliss in a bottle. I love this and it's my current signature. It's not a thick, heavy vanilla, but rather a light and airy one. The caramel gives it sweetness, but it's not cloying (to me) even in higher (+30°C) temperatures. I get more caramel than vanilla with this one. Sillage is moderate and this has a lasting power of about 5-6 hours on me. Vaniglia is very similar to Vanille West Indies, which is a bit more floral and tiiiny bit sharper than this one in my opinion. Sucre Noir, while being also in the same ballpark, is a tad more sugary and has less caramel making it slightly brighter than this. If Vaniglia was a color it'd be light yellow. I also have Dua's dupe for this (simply called Dua Vaniglia) and I find it having more of a burnt aspect to it compared to Mazzolari, which makes it a little darker. The difference is not too noticeable though, and it's a very good dupe for this if you're on a budget. I still prefer the original to the Dua version, but don't regret having that one too.
