Vanilia L'Artisan Parfumeur 1978

What did I write in my "preferences"?: I don't like explicit vanilla scents!
I hate the overpowering, almost aggressive smell of vanilla in cheap scented candles and bath oils, room fragrances during Christmas time, etc. Vanilla often comes with a kitschy candy sweetness. Terrible! Even the vanilla gourmands from Comptoir Sud are too one-dimensional for me, lacking in refinement. So, a tricky terrain for me.
When I became interested in your opinions on L'Artisan Parfumeur, I noticed the almost hymnic reviews for "Vanille Absolument," and intrigued by that, I dared to take a sniff test. I did have "Vanilia" under my nose, but by the time I realized that there were actually two vanilla scents in the line, I was already vanilla-seduced and on a sniffing trip, so to speak, hooked.

Kankuro has described the process well: the first accords are indeed almost green and fresh, but then it quickly becomes softer and rounder, until the vanilla opens up wide and velvety.
I can understand the association with sweet, sexy banana, but I smell a much stronger burnt caramel, which gives the vanilla a soft brown depth and calmness. The amber note keeps it from being prickly and jarring, from greedily pushing forward.
That's how I like vanilla, and the "hmm" factor is quite high.
I am now very happy to have been seduced by you Parfumos to vanilla. I can hardly believe it.
What else might be coming my way?
