We smell each other again - in November!
Acqua di Parma is repositioning itself with the four eau de parfums Yuzu, Osmanthus, Sakura and Camelia and with Vaniglia, a new version of last year's Colonia Vaniglia, so far a Harrods exclusive. The whole Ingredient Collection was filled into the very noble new, black and gold flacons - and the prices were (at least only) a bit higher!
Although hardly available online yet, not even announced at Acqua di Parma, I was able to get samples of Vaniglia and Sakura from the fashion house / perfumery department of my trust in Oldenburg (not exactly a cosmopolitan city!). I want someone else to say that local shops wouldn't be worth it!
So what do we think of Vaniglia now? If "Colonia Vaniglia" was still marked as a men's fragrance, it is here classified as unisex - quite rightly so.
For Acqua di Parma Mr Demachy has created a warm and soft flatterer without corners and edges, but with a lot of harmony, endurance and quality. Actually, everything is as indicated in the fragrance pyramid: It starts slightly fruity-citric with mandarin and bergamot, heliotrope is also to be smelled from the beginning and gives the name-giving Vaniglia first, still slightly grassy room. And then the vanilla comes quite soon, very natural, not too sweet, but accompanied by flowery jasmine and therefore always clearly unisex. The mandarin has thereby amazing steadfastness. This is a great advantage as it retains a certain citric fruitiness for a long time. Cedar wood and musk get through to me after about an hour. And then the scent stops and stops. It remains as a woody, very noble, not too sweet vanilla really for hours on my skin.
The whole thing is very organic, unagitated, not too room-filling, but nevertheless self-confident. Maybe this Vaniglia is not too surprising, but it is round and soft and very noble made. It offers stamina and an exciting development.
I don't know if I need that scent yet. I'm gonna put my sample away and get it out on colder days.
