Caramelized Incense

Let’s talk about this gem that will go on hype very soon…

If you know Rosendo Mateu N5, remove a littke bit of its strong sweet vanilla (it’s still sweet) and add incense.

For those who haven’t smelled RM5, Vanagloria is such a forward thinking perfume…
It’s 50% modern molecular sweetness and 50% incense. The combination is just perfection, and it has something addictive to it that makes it smell really different and modern. Try to imagine you dip an incense stick into sugar and add some weird molecules from 2056

Longevity and projection are way beyond normal perfumes. Packaging is wonderful, the bottle very heavy and the sprayer is top notch.
This is sexy as hell.

Fruity, leathery vanilla pod

Front-loaded with enough iodine (saffron) and pineapple to cripple an elephant, Vanagloria makes a weird first impression – metallic, fruity, acid, and terpenic, like a burning tire onto which someone’s lobbed some opened cans of Del Monte pineapple pieces. And just under that, a ripe banana custard-like vanilla, like something you’d make out of a packet, but also really thick and expensive-smelling. Ribbons of smoke from just-lit frankincense add a slightly ashy-woody darkness, deepening the chiaroscuro effect.

It takes some time for all of this to settle, but when it does, what you get is a luxuriously creamy vanilla-incense accord that accurately reflects the aromas gathered in a dried vanilla bean pod – the slightly burnt-smelling woodiness, the booziness, the leathery dryness, the faint thick sweetness of it that floats in the distance. I smelled it first in Romastore, in Trastevere, in January 2022, and was appalled at its ‘crude oil’ start. But later, when it dried down, it became an obsession for me, far more compelling to me than any of the other more popular perfumes I’d gone there to try, like Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums. I bought a bottle the next day and it’s become one of my favourite vanilla perfumes, a group that by itself is very, very small.

The Dry Contender in this Solar System

I always love to try different variations of this DNA. My favorites are a tie between this beauty & Salas Bianco Eterno.

I will admit, I found the opening of Vanagloria to be somewhat challenging due to the pineapple. Sometimes I find pineapple to be dusty and I experienced it here in the opening, but once the dry-down commenced I was immediately mesmerized. When it comes to this DNA Vanagloria is definitely the driest—The vanilla is more dry vs sweet, an inherent quality of Bourbon Vanilla. I truly appreciate how this makes it stand out from its counterparts. It has pretty good projection and creates a comforting cloud. I’d say it’s slightly less spicy than Babycat and lacks the burnt tire smell of Ros5. This is wonderful!

Vanilla leather

I only smell leathery vanilla with an overdose of saffron and tonka bean. I don't smell any incense or pineapple at all, as indicated in most of the reviews here. I even wonder if I have the right decan.
For me, it's a very warm, opulent, round, very leathery fragrance, a roasted vanilla that leans towards dry wood, not sweet ( a bit ). It's really not my style, but when the temperatures drop outside, it really comes into its own.
It's not a perfume for shy people because it projects quite a bit in the first few hours, a heady leather scent. Don't wear it in a meeting because it will only smell of you, and in the morning at 8 a.m., I'm not sure I want to smell coppery saffron.
So a rather original perfume, it seems that it resembles babycat, which I have never smelled yet, in the end will I wear it, no, as I said it is not my style, but I can easily see a woman wearing it with confidence or a man with a leather jacket.

Foul ball out of left field.

I admire most of Dominique Ropion's creations, but this one's definitely a foul ball out of left field. This is how I imagine vanilla notes are perceived by people who hate vanilla in fragrances. Sweet, foul, cloying, and the saffron and pineapple make it unusually weird. I like vanilla, but here, I have no idea what happened here. Not sure what the point of this is.
