Vaniglia del Madagascar Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio 1994 Eau de Parfum

A yellow-brown lemur monkey with huge black blinking eyes is tumbling around in my living room. Nocturnal, it swings back and forth between cabinets and chandeliers, poops on the sofa, tears down curtains, and annoys me and my two pets quite a lot.
But I will keep it.
It brought me the Madagascar vanilla from I Profumi di Firenze. A vanilla scent that brilliantly reinterprets the common - and boring - theme of vanilla.
This vanilla is not fermented: It is not black, smoky, wrinkled, deeply grounding, or darkly spicy-sweet. Rather, it is bright, cheerful, young, and extraordinarily creamy. It corresponds incredibly well with a firm, spring-fresh green floral kick, given to it by a radiant lily of the valley, and has a decent sillage without claiming too much weight.

How can a scent be so straightforward, uncomplicated, and simple while also being so subtle? Vaniglia del Madagascar is a completely new olfactory experience in this regard. There is no comparison to the grand Guerlain composition in terms of vanilla. No significant development:
At first, the green floral aspect is prominent, and in just a short time, it transforms into a pure floral note that accompanies the vanilla. A bit of light wood is also included, and that’s it.
But even without great effort and an Oscar-worthy script, this scent is characterful, nuanced, and appealing. The simple yet so exciting vanilla note keeps inviting you to sniff again and again.
I still think I can catch a very, very faint hint of incense at the end, but that’s actually irrelevant to the overall impression:
A charming, cheerful vanilla with lovely floral notes and no darkness. An exciting, charming, and expressive scent despite all its simplicity.
