For me, the fragrance starts off warm and inviting, the ginger brings a gentle, cozy spiciness that has depth from the very beginning without being overwhelming. To me, it is not particularly sparkling or herb-citrusy but perfectly balanced at every moment.

The combination of amber and vanilla, which in other cases often feels heavy like a blanket, is not the case here at all. The blend is so harmoniously balanced thanks to the ginger that a completely different scent impression is created. Despite its warmth, which wonderfully matches the orange color of the bottle, it remains airy enough to be very wearable even in high temperatures. This balance makes it a perfect all-rounder for me, one that I would proudly wear in any weather. Present without being intrusive. For me, a truly special fragrance.

During the first test, I thought: nice, tasty, just a vanilla scent...
I found the scent quite good but unconsciously ruled it out as a candidate for purchase for myself, you have enough vanilla fragrances, you don't need it, you'll just wear it at home anyway.
I then went to bed soon after and didn’t pay much attention to Vaniglia anymore.

The magic began on the second day,
I had a day off and since I had a 10ml sample to use up, why not indulge in a few sprays...
Vaniglia greets you with an incredibly beautifully crafted delicious vanilla that almost seems food-real, very authentic even if a bit one-dimensional.
Very lush yet somehow fluffy, a hint of marshmallow resonates with me.
A decadent combination that makes your mouth water and overall feels not too perfumey, making it very wearable for me.
No annoying floral notes or anything.

In the drydown, Vaniglia shows itself to me from its most beautiful side, the vanilla deepens and the scent takes on a strong semolina pudding note that I like best.
Long story short, Vaniglia was allowed to move in as a bottle and has already been used relatively often because I just can’t keep my hands off it....

I’m actually not a tea drinker at all; I always miss the intense flavor in the drink itself, whether it’s white, green, black, or rooibos. My soft drink spoiled - or should I say, pampered - palate doesn’t quite know how to get along with it, even though every winter I’m tempted by the incredible variations on the shelf...
However, with wulong cha, I actually get my money’s worth, even if not for drinking, then at least for adorning myself with an incredibly delicious scent that refreshes in a completely different way than the usual aquatics, which I rarely enjoy...
It starts off beautifully zesty and citrusy, with a tea note that is immediately present and remains noticeable throughout the entire scent progression.
For my nose, it has a rather linear scent development from the fig in the base; I don’t notice much, but that doesn’t bother me, not because I don’t like figs, but because something that starts off so wonderfully can also remain just as wonderful.
I love it most on hot days as it refreshes me nicely without ever becoming annoying, even at the highest temperatures, although it’s certainly suitable for year-round use.

I discovered the scent at Zara on one of the hottest days of the year and was very impressed at first sniff; it really smells beautifully fruity and fresh, absolutely unisex, which always excites me. The melon (watermelon) comes through very nicely and is for me the most prominent component. The mint could have been a bit stronger for my taste since it overall comes across as quite sweet, but in combination with the aquatic note it has, that’s perfectly fine. It’s a lovely scent that I enjoy wearing for refreshment in the really hot season, although I think it could be a bit zestier with more edges and facets. At the price of just under 12 euros for 100 ml, though, you really can’t complain.

As a confessed vanilla fan, it was only a matter of time before I had to come together with SDV, a symbiosis that couldn't be better.
A fragrance that grounds me, gives me a good feeling, and always works in every situation.
I smell a gourmand vanilla in the top note that starts off quite rich, beautifully cushioned by a slightly alcoholic note that I really like and gives the fragrance a special touch, lasting about 20 minutes on me. The strongest component I can clearly smell afterwards is the rose, (which I usually can't stand) but in this case, it really enhances the fragrance beautifully, making it a bit more perfumey and softening the gourmand character that remains throughout.
Sillage is acceptable and longevity is really good, even if it's more intimate after the first 2 hours, but for a vanilla fragrance, especially as a male wearer, it's certainly enough. For me, as a vanilla fan, it's a dream scent.
