Vaniglia del Madagascar Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio 1994 Eau de Parfum

I got to know the brand "I Profumi di Firenze/Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio" through a very nice perfumist who also introduced me to this community.
From the very beginning, these fragrances spoke to me: it’s a kind of "soul connection".
I feel the same way about the compositions from the ladies of the Annick Goutal house, whose acquaintance I also made through this woman.

Lily of the valley belongs to my "great floral wonders"; I love these little "stinkers" that bravely stretch their slender spikes out from the dark green leaf rosettes every spring, heralding the most beautiful season with their intense fragrance alongside the first rays of sunshine.
I usually bring home at least one little bouquet from my walks in spring; even though I know I have to set it in front of the balcony door in the evening: from dusk onwards, I can no longer tolerate them in the room, just like many other white flowers; because then they "power up" and, as is well known, they take no prisoners:
"The Winner is Lily of the Valley!"

Naturally, I was eager to test "Vaniglia del Madagascar".
What a light yet rich vanilla cream scent!
Thanks to the loosely whipped cream, this vanilla is not as creamy and heavy as often found, but seems to float lightly over the skin like on an air cushion.
Years ago, I read that Madagascar vanilla is always airier and lighter (fluffier) and not as sweet, sticky, and paste-like as its sisters from the Caribbean.
(Although these originally also come from Madagascar and conquered "the new world" on ships as "accompaniments" and became established there.)
That’s why it fits so excellently with this creamy fragrance delicacy and tenderly murmurs around the lily of the valley, as if it wants to neither hurt nor suffocate them, but only embrace them lovingly.

I know and love many of the heavy warm, sometimes luscious vanilla fragrances, where this smooth vanilla fragrance goddess seemingly glides lazily and sensually creamy-white, and whose full-bodied scent flow is usually still marbled with golden-brown streaks of patchouli or sandalwood.
I am all the more delighted to get to know this Italian-stylish creation:
A "sunshine vanilla," interspersed with charming lily of the valley flower islands.

Dottore Giovanni di Massimo has once again created a delightful composition; he has been responsible for fragrance development at this brand for several years and continues to delight me with his creations.
(His sister Francesca is also a very lovely lady who gladly and precisely answers any questions.)

"Vaniglia del Madagascar," tested here as Eau de Parfum, is also available as "Fragranza Concentrata".
Thanks to Gelis, I was able to enjoy this as well: richer and fuller-bodied, this fragrance concentrate is deeper and naturally more expressive; only the light "vanilla cloud flight" I seek here in vain.

Vanilla fragrances are a vast world of their own; "Vaniglia del Madagascar" from the treasure chest of Palazzo Vecchio clearly swims against the general heavy fragrance trend and is therefore something truly special.
"È una preziosità speciale"
