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.

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!

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.

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.

I wanted to like it (... if only it weren't for the incense)

First of all, I have to defend myself ;)

Because I received the fragrance as a souk addition and after looking at the fragrance pyramid, I clearly expected to get incense if there is incense in it.
But this fragrance hits my face so hard after spraying it on that I can no longer smell it properly.

It reminds me of my teenage years when I was still an altar girl; I used to hold my nose back then ... I guess incense just isn't my scent :(
Maybe I also have to say that in the end I actually preferred to sleep in on Sunday instead of going to church and thank God (pun?) my parents were able to understand that when I stopped. :')

After a few minutes I sniff my wrist again, now I think to myself "Ohh, now it's calming down minimally." and I can actually say that, yes, if you like incense, you will definitely like the scent.
Now it reminds me of going to a sauna, but without the infusion (and I really, really like going to saunas). I have simply loved this smell since I was a child.

However, the incense takes me out of my sauna thoughts again and reminds me that it is still (far) too dominant for me, but I also notice the notes that I don't like so much more strongly.
For this reason, I don't want to badmouth it in any way, it's just not for me. ️
