Revision 001
A couple of my Parfumo friends and fragrance buddies know that my passion is primarily for fragrances with a lot of oud. They are probably just as surprised as I am that there have been some changes in my fragrance passion over the past few months and that my oud-heavy collection has been completely overhauled.
From (real) agarwood, civet, castoreum and birch tar to vanilla, rum and benzoin.
From creaky, dark and animalic to gourmand, sweet and spicy.
That's exactly why Spiritueuse Double Vanille had to join my collection.
This fragrance has been on the market for some time and with over 1200 reviews, there is certainly nothing new to write about for lovers of this fragrance DNA. My review is therefore aimed more at those who may also be going through changes in their fragrance cosmos and are not yet familiar with this type of fragrance.
SDV is not a complex fragrance that you can analyze for hours. (Definitely less exhausting than having your arm under your nose all evening cataloging the various ouds of an Ensa cracker). Linear and focused on the essentials best describes SDV: rum and vanilla. What really impresses me here, however, is the quality, heaviness and elegance of the fragrance. Everything flows seamlessly into one another. Nothing pinches or tweaks. Nothing that doesn't fit in, no 20-minute top note disaster, as I had to go through with so many of my former fragrances, rolling my eyes.
As I live in a subtropical climate zone, I can say with conviction that the hot temperatures of up to 45° give this fragrance a more intense radiance and depth than is the case in a temperate zone.
I particularly notice the boozy, smoky notes and, of course, the unsurpassable, heavy vanilla. And with this DNA, that's enough for me to enjoy SDV in a versatile way at the office, at dinner or simply during my relaxation routine (shower-pajama-sofa).
The longevity of the base notes is phenomenal.
So as not to jeopardize my friendships with my OUDies in and outside of Parfumo, let it be said that eaglewood, castoreum, civet, smoke and animalic notes are still a part of me and I continue to appreciate and enjoy these ingredients and scents.

The transformation is very funny - I think vanilla always works :)
