Vanagloria translates from Italian as “vanity.” It is a creation by Dominique Ropion, in which he wanted to capture the richness of vanilla in all its nuances. To achieve this, the perfumer chose Bourbon vanilla. What makes it special? If Tahitian vanilla is known for its sweetness, and Madagascar vanilla for its honeyed, powdery character, Bourbon vanilla is the most mysterious and darkest of the three - rich and intense, with animalic, leathery and spicy nuances. Vanagloria is a sexy, sensual and slightly predatory fragrance. Rich, gourmand and balsamic. It reveals a dark, animalic vanilla with a sweetness enhanced by tonka bean, while olibanum lends it a mystical, mysterious aura. As it develops, the fragrance becomes increasingly dense, dark, leathery and resinous. I imagine a woman with honey-toned, velvety skin, wrapped in a suede coat in a rich chocolate shade. Her gaze is confident, and she is quietly pleased with herself. And in your opinion, what does vanity smell like? * Vanagloria is part of the Extreme Collection, which consists of fragrances in a Parfum Intense concentration.
Vanagloria
Country: Italy
Perfumer: Dominique Ropion
A fragrance that expresses all the richness of vanilla in its many nuances. Vanagloria is built around a sublime quality of LMR vanilla pods, whose most subtle tones I have amplified. This Bourbon vanilla, grown in the Indian Ocean, is extracted using CO₂, a cold-extraction technique that reveals the full spectrum of its gourmand, floral, leathery, and spicy notes. Its leathery character is reinforced by saffron, made addictive by a touch of tonka bean, while swirls of incense add a mystical aura to its texture.
