Rich vanilla and incense sticks

Finalising the series from La Maison de la Vanille, Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar concludes my testing.

Unlike the other fragrances in this series, I really felt the citrusy bergamot in this one. For a good hour or so, this was vanilla and bergamot with a subtle hint of coriander.

While still sweet and vanillary, the additional citrus and spice gave this fragrance a rather exotic charm and a delightful richness.

I feel that Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar is the most unisex of the series. The rounded spiciness and smokiness of the vanilla could wear well on a man in my opinion.

Towards the drydown the incense note can be truly felt alongside the vanilla, which is now darker and slightly chocolatey. This is also vanilla in a natural, dry-like finish, rather than being syrupy or creamy.

The lasting power, as with all the other fragrances in this series, is unbelievably good. The sillage is also commendable.

It is hard not to like such a fragrance as Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar. The scent is both soothing, warm and snuggly. All in all, this fragrance is sensual and charming.

snuggle up..

While watching a film on tv, I'm snuggling a lot, wearing my soft sweater, feeling relaxed and cozy..
Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar is so comfortable, warm and most of all
creamy and milky!
Yes, that's exactly what I get.. a milky vanilla combo that gives you the sense you're surrounded in a cocoon of warmth and affection..

Love it!

MORE BARBERSHOP THAN BAKERY

It opens with a sweet, powdery cloud of lavender. Right away, I also pick up cistus, or labdanum, with its slightly cola-like facets, plus a touch of frankincense incense. At first, it doesn't really smell like vanilla at all. In fact, the opening leans quite masculine, driven by that aromatic lavender and the resinous, incense-like edge.

I kept wondering, where is the vanilla? It takes its time, but it eventually shows up. When it does, it's powdery and slightly vintage in character, not overly sweet. It mingles softly with the lavender, giving the composition a classic, almost old-school feel. The incense fades fairly quickly on my skin, stepping back to let the powdery elements take center stage.

The deep drydown becomes a sweet, powdery base that I recognize from several fragrances from this house. It has that slightly hairspray-ish quality. I'm not the biggest fan of that effect, to be honest.

Also, the note pyramid is not accurate. There is no citrus and definitely no thyme here. The correct structure is:

Top Notes: Lavender
Heart Notes: Coriander, Geranium, Labdanum
Base Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Incense

Solid vanilla

I have never tried (smelled or tasted) the “true” Madagascar vanilla, so I am not sure if this scent is faithful to its name. What I can say is that is surely smells much good and looks natural indeed, this meaning it’s rich, nuanced, at the same time almost austere with its straightforward, sweet and dusty vanilla note gently surrounded by a whiff of flowers, spices and discreet woods. The opening is really great and pleasant, almost “narcotic” for its power, although sadly it soon quietens down. The evolution is subtle, but not boring, as you get some nice nuances and overall the sweetness is really discreet and tamed down. Basically it evolves on a woody-ambery vanillic scent with a really dry, velvety, dusty substance, which makes it pleasant and refined to wear – even for “non-fans” of vanilla (well, of course if you hate it you’ll hate this scent; but surely it’s more versatile, realistic and appealing than others). The flowers are almost unperceivable but they’re there, especially the carnation (crunchy and sour), which emerges after a while. The same for sandalwood, which I get after one hour or so: clean, subtle, less sweet than usual. It’s anyway all about shades and hues around this central “monolith” of vanilla, so even if overall this scent is less boring than others, it soon becomes a bit monotone. Nonetheless it’s warm, elegant and pleasant, just a bit linear. Finally, the persistence is not huge (which is good for me in this case).

Praise from the Eye of the Law

Today, a nice police officer, a dog handler by profession, visited us to inform us about burglary prevention.

Good to know how to fortify your home like Fort Knox.

I want to create coziness and warmth, and I wear Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar.
Promptly, the lawman raises his vigilant nose - and praises the "good aroma" in the room.
Did someone bake?
Unfortunately not, but I still offer an apple turnover.

My scent is "very appetizing," praises the eye of the law - and I absolutely agree with him.
Soft yet dry, the vanilla envelops me, as if freshly from the pod.
The lavender is cool and calming and harmonizes with the full rockrose.
The interesting herbaceous smoky incense ensures that the scent does not become overly gourmand.

A multifaceted vanilla fragrance from La Maison de la Vanille, which varies its theme well but does not lose sight of it.

Despite its pronounced sillage, Madagascar is not heavy; rather, one is pleasantly surrounded.

It certainly created an extremely relaxed atmosphere.

The opening leans quite masculine, driven by aromatic lavender & a resinous incense-like edge. The drydown settles into a soft sweet powder.

Dreamy lavender vanilla blend
Spices and a hint of incense make it simply perfect.

Lavender + vanilla in a duel - first lavender wins, then vanilla. Not edible, gentle, cozy, slightly sweet, light incense. Good!

Wrapped in a vanilla cocoon, a cozy scent for relaxing and feeling good. Despite its sweetness, it’s not too sticky, more wearable than Vanilla West Indies!

A vanilla scent to fall in love with. Beautiful, very delicious, and not overly sweet. The lavender and rose complement it wonderfully. Absolutely great!
