Vaniglia Mazzolari 2014

that this fragrance plays in the top league for pure vanilla has already been described multiple times. I can only agree: pure vanilla, a hint of caramel, and in the background a light floral note. That’s all you need for a perfect vanilla scent. I would rather focus on the comparison with the well-known twin, West Indies. Thanks to a dear perfumer, I have both samples and have been alternating between them since this morning. There are subtle nuances that make about a 15% difference, if at all. Vaniglia starts off deliciously with the spray, I immediately get the cozy vanilla caramel combo, while VWI comes out of the bottle more robust and only reaches its "deliciousness" after about 5 seconds. Once you can think clearly again and haven’t eaten yourself, the orchid comes through stronger in Vaniglia, while VWI is still dominated by vanilla and caramel. The caramel in VWI is a bit more robust, as if you perfectly caught it just before burning. The longevity is almost identical for both. Those who have a choice have a dilemma.
