Les Nombres d'Or - Vanille Maison Mona di Orio 2011

This is in my opinion the best from the house of MdO. This fragrance starts off with a blast of spicy and woody notes paired with "burning" bitter oranges in which I detect a lot of petitgrain. At this point there isn't even the slightest hint of vanilla. As time paces the most authentic vanilla-pod note can be smelled. This isn't your typical vanilla ice-cream sweet vanilla note but rather a dusty boozy one. This fragrance is best for cool summer nights and the beginning of autumn. This is a masterfully balanced , complex , high quality scent.
Truly unique, get your nose on this ASAP :)

P.S. there is a backstory to this perfume:"an old ship from long ago, on its way to Madagascar or the Comoros Islands, carrying precious cargo: rum barrels, oranges, vanilla beans, ylang-ylang, cloves and sandalwood."
