The Curviest Vanilla in the Business

Very sublime, very exalted this liquid regent in the bottle. To put it another way, the perfect vanilla. THE vanilla.
Not the Ferrari 599XX among vanillas, but rather the Maybach. Exelero.

One of the few fragrances where you can excellently smell all the listed ingredients, each perfectly formed - this is truly the beauty of craftsmanship.

Top note: Vanilla, tonka bean? Oh yes, dusty, dry, exquisite vanilla, a bit of baking, soda, powdered tonka bean.

Heart note: Sumatra lemon, white bergamot - The lemon complements the vanilla simply fantastically. Bergamot makes the entire fragrance sparkling, noble, clear, and strong.

Base note: Tonkin musk - what remains is a rough, yet sweet-creamy-cuddly perfectionism.

Overall, the best vanilla/lemon symbiosis I know. This vanilla Maybach Exelero dangerously zooms along the edge of the fragrance pyramid, so that a wrong step could end up in the abyss of disinfectants with plastic sweetness. Fortunately, it does not do that here, taking "The Snake" with superb elegance. This is one of the most gigantic creations from the hands of Creeds.

The longevity is almost an Opus Dei with just 1-2 sprays. It envelops you in an irresistible cloud of delicious self-confidence, with absolute attraction and suggestive power. If you take it out for an evening, this vanilla would say:

"Would you like me to seduce you? Is it that you're trying to tell me?
You're ready?"

I would reply:

"Hey, you're just too funky for me
I gotta get inside -- of you
And I'll show you heaven if you let me,
I'd love to see you naked baby,
I'd like to think that sometime maybe -
Tonight, if that's all right, yeah!"

(I'm gonna be the kind of lover that you never had)
- everybody wants a lover like that)

You're such a, you're such a....
(Lyrics: George Michael, "Too Funky", 1992)

The headline is really great and leaves plenty of room for speculation about what kind of comment might follow.

That sounds very inviting :) Vanilla and lemon can work incredibly well together. My favorite vanilla right now is from Kenzo. The Madagascar scent. Well described!

I don't know... The scent is very close to my skin, and there's no trace of confidence. In higher temperatures, it feels more citrusy (and deeper) and I like it better-though I prefer to wear a cologne then.

The Royales Exclusives are amazing; but the price is quite a statement. ;)

Uh, the bottle costs 550 euros regularly. That's where I draw the line. No matter how enchanting the scent is, even if I could afford it, I can't justify such a price to myself, sorry.
Best, M.C.
