Ascetic Vanilla Filippo Sorcinelli 2024

Ascetic Vanilla definitely has edges and corners. That's exactly what makes the niche theme interesting. It is often criticized that niche fragrances are no longer truly niche, and as soon as they come across as niche, people complain about the specific nature of the scent. That totally contradicts itself, sorry! I am definitely open to everything and go purely by personal taste.
I don't care if the scent comes from the niche, if it's a designer, or whatever.

Ascetic Vanilla features a beautiful and, above all, interesting vanilla. The vanilla is noticeably smoky and woody underneath.
That's exactly the point that some may not like, and yes, I can understand that. However, I find it totally interesting and not over the top. At the same time, the vanilla has a certain sweetness.
This combination has something.

Over time, a lovely, albeit subtle caramel sweetness emerges.
I like it! Likewise, the smoky, woody theme gradually recedes, and the fragrance generally gains sweetness and creamy impressions.
Towards the end, as can be seen from the fragrance pyramid, it clearly becomes milky.

In my opinion, the scent is, like almost all, suitable for unisex use.
The start of the fragrance does admittedly come across as quite masculine, herbal, and male.

I was surprised by the performance.
The scent lasts on my skin for 10+ hours. So 12-13 hours is really good for me.
The sillage is also good.
The longevity is even more commendable here.

In conclusion, it's a quite interesting fragrance that one should give a chance.
