Finalising the series from La Maison de la Vanille, Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar concludes my testing.
Unlike the other fragrances in this series, I really felt the citrusy bergamot in this one. For a good hour or so, this was vanilla and bergamot with a subtle hint of coriander.
While still sweet and vanillary, the additional citrus and spice gave this fragrance a rather exotic charm and a delightful richness.
I feel that Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar is the most unisex of the series. The rounded spiciness and smokiness of the vanilla could wear well on a man in my opinion.
Towards the drydown the incense note can be truly felt alongside the vanilla, which is now darker and slightly chocolatey. This is also vanilla in a natural, dry-like finish, rather than being syrupy or creamy.
The lasting power, as with all the other fragrances in this series, is unbelievably good. The sillage is also commendable.
It is hard not to like such a fragrance as Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar. The scent is both soothing, warm and snuggly. All in all, this fragrance is sensual and charming.
