More like Aventus Intense
That this fragrance is very close to the base of Aventus is no longer a secret. In general, Parfums Vintage seems to have a preference for the pineapple, even if not all creations from this house with such a fruit on the bottle have a reference to it. Whoever wants to understand that ... but is also for this review no matter, because it is about "Vanilla Intense".
Well, so the theme of Aventus, whether intended or not, is served here anyway best. Said pineapple comes in nice and fresh - plus some apple and juniper, though the two aren't really identifiable. Let's say: something citrusy-fruity to it and you have a fine exotic mixture. I like it so quite well and for Aventus lovers it could certainly go on for hours.
But I ask myself, where is the vanilla mentioned in the name and eagerly awaited? In addition, it is supposed to be even intense.
This morning I had sprayed from a small filling of the Eau de Parfum something and now it is already late evening. From vanilla despite long shelf life unfortunately so far no trace. If at all, then extremely timid in the drydown as background accompaniment. Strangely, all the other players mentioned, such as patchouli, musk or ambergris are also missing. Would have been otherwise relatively schnurz to me. But if the whole thing is called "Vanilla Intense", then I expect those too. Especially since I was more than curious about the combination of pineapple or Aventus and vanilla and thus severely disappointed.
No idea if something was wrong with my bottling or if Parfums Vintage has even greater fluctuations with the batches than Creed, but it would not surprise me if some blind buyers react extremely snuffy.
Because I just had olfactory ravenous appetite for vanilla, I allowed myself the experiment this Aventus clone (or should one write homage?) with Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain to layer. The result is more than sniffable and is about what I had imagined Vanilla Intense to be like. While quite sweet, it's nicely exotically tangy with a wonderfully creamy top. For this I would have jumped guaranteed 9 to 10 points, so it remains unfortunately only with a lot of benevolence 7.5 - although I would have to deduct for the misleading name easily again a whole point.
